Cooling lubricants
Graconol
Thanks to the use of high-purity ingredients in Graconol as a volatilizing cooling lubricant, the component can be processed directly without cleaning. This guarantees a high degree of precision and surface quality, especially for demanding components such as those from the aerospace, automotive and other sectors.
What are the advantages of machining with Graconol as a cooling lubricant?
- Additional cooling effect through evaporation ensures longer tool life at higher feed rates and infeeds.
- Clean, dry workpieces that can be further processed (welding, anodizing, etc.) directly and without washing.
- Easy and time-saving cleaning of the machine, as the chips are dry and no residues of the cooling lubricant adhere to the machine.
- Economic as well as ecological recycling of aluminum chips – no residues.
- Sustainable, since renewable resource.
Areas of application
- simple heavy machining
- Turning, milling, drilling, sawing
- Can be used on individually filled machines as well as central systems
Graconol WM – CONCENTRATE (6 to 8%)
Graconol WM is an innovative and label-free high-performance cooling lubricant in the form of a water-miscible concentrate. For use with all materials.
At a concentration of 6% – grade 0 (no corrosion). DIN 51360/2.
Features:
- label-free and boron-free
- very economical due to high dilutability
- to be used for machining steel, cast iron, high-alloy steels and aluminum
- Good technical stability and long emulsion service life
- good cooling and rinsing capacity
- good anti-corrosion properties
- stable emulsions with make-up waters from 10 °dH to 30 °dH
- Emulsions are stable in use up to water hardnesses of 60 °dH
Fields of application:
- for general machining, e.g. turning, milling, drilling, sawing
- can be used on single-filling machines as well as central systems
Observe instructions on label and EC safety data sheet! Our technical specifications have been prepared carefully and to the best of our knowledge. Due to the large number of possible influences during the processing and application of the products, they do not exempt the processor from carrying out his own conscientious tests! No legally binding assurance of specific properties or suitability for a specific purpose can be derived from our information. Existing laws and regulations must be checked and observed by the user of our products on his own responsibility before use.

Safe handling of ethanol as a cooling lubricant:
Due to the chemical properties of Graconol, certain requirements must be met and instructions followed during processing. Information on this can be found in the operating instructions for your milling machine, e.g. on the following points:
- Milling of non-sparking materials.
- No ignition source in and on the machine.
- Sufficient air exchange according to the operating instructions in the production environment.
- Storage conditions on the machine: Only in unbreakable containers with a maximum capacity of 10 liters each (according to TRGS 510 point 4.2).
- Unrestricted operation of the fans of the machine.
Under certain circumstances, the use of ethanol is not possible (please observe the operating instructions and product description). This concerns, for example, the processing…
- of spark-forming materials (e.g. steel, titanium, …).
- of materials that undergo chemical changes due to ethanol (e.g. plastics).
- using a chip extractor
Please feel free to let us know what kind of workpiece it is and we will offer you a customized & suitable solution.

It is best to use an electric mixer. If you mix manually, add the concentrate slowly to the water while stirring vigorously.
For the make-up water, the use of drinking water is fine.
According to TRGS 611, it must be ensured that the make-up water has a nitrate content of less than 50 mg/l.
This is guaranteed when drinking water is used.
