Minimum Quantity Lubrication Oil in the UAE & Oman

How to choose a minimum quantity lubrication oil.

Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) replaces flood coolant with a few millilitres per hour of oil, carried to the cutting edge as a fine aerosol in compressed air. There is no sump to maintain, no coolant to dispose of and dry chips to recycle. The oil has to lubricate at a very low flow, be safe to breathe in the small amounts that escape, and leave a dry, residue-free part. Most MQL fluids are synthetic or vegetable esters.

LUBE-tech supplies MQL oils from FUCHS PLANTO MIKRO and ECOCUT MIKRO and Castrol Hyspray in Dubai and across the UAE and Oman, for sawing, drilling, tapping, milling and machining lines running MQL systems.

Picking the right grade

Material
Aluminium, steel and non-ferrous metals each have grades tuned for them: Castrol Hyspray V 1093 for aluminium and steel, Hyspray E 2000 for high-alloy steels, PLANTO MIKRO UNI for all materials.
EP level
Tapping, threading and difficult alloys need a high-EP MQL oil such as PLANTO MIKRO 30 HD. Sawing and light milling need less.
System type
Single-channel and dual-channel MQL systems atomise differently. Choose a fluid rated for the system fitted to the machine.
Health and residue
The fluid leaves a thin film on the part and the machine, so choose one that is low-odour, free of hazardous labelling and compatible with the next process.
