What is a Soluble Oil?
Soluble Oil are water-soluble products used in conjunction with selected additives to provide maximum tool life and fine finishes. Soluble oil form an emulsion when mixed with water and the concentrate consists of a base mineral oil, extreme pressure additives and emulsifiers which help produce the stable emulsion.

What are Soluble Oil Used
For?
Soluble Oil Lubricants are most commonly used for heavy-duty metalworking operations where die life is the first priority but added protection for lubrication and rust protection are needed. Because they are diluted, they provide good lubrication and heat transfer performance.

TOTAL offers a wide range of soluble
fluids: macro-emulsions with LACTUCA, micro-emulsions with SPIRIT and synthetic
fluids with VULSOL. In order to minimise health and safety concerns for
operators, all the fluids comply with international regulations such as the
Dangerous Products Directive (DPD) 1999/45/EC or Biocidal Products Directive
BPD 98/8/EC. In particular, they are free of formaldehyde, chlorine (except
one), nitrite, diethanolamine, and other substances that are regarded as being
of concern to individual health, safety or the environment. In addition, Total
has taken a lead and has been at the forefront in developing products that are
formulated without Boron, in anticipation of the use of boric acid and its
salts being added to the list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) under
REACH and possible subsequent restrictions that may be imposed as a result of
this.
The use of clean water of good
biological and physicochemical quality is recommended for the implementation
and maintenance of soluble fluids. Their formulation guarantees machining
performance for any type of metals and severity of operations:
• Reduction in the cutting efforts
provides longer tool service life and superior surface finish of the parts,
• Protection against corrosion of
machined parts and equipment.
• Resistance to the development of
bacteria and yeast and fungi.
• Non-foaming product with no
particular odour for convenient use.
• Stability in service ensuring long
fluid life.
Total soluble
cutting fluids products are supplied as a concentrate. When mixed with
water, they are used to cool and lubricate the cutting process and also to
flush away waste material. The finished fluid is generally 95% water combined
with 5% concentrate.
