New machining oil offers thermal resistance with minimal smoke and mist

Lubricant specialist Zeller+Gmelin is expanding its portfolio with the metalworking oil Multicut SE 13.

Multicut SE 13 from Zeller+Gmelin ensures stable lubrication and high process reliability -- even in demanding machining processes.

 

 

This multifunctional machining oil is suitable for a wide range of machining and grinding processes -- from turning and milling to demanding applications such as broaching and deep-hole drilling. With high thermal stability, low evaporation, and minimal smoke generation, Multicut SE 13 is a proven performer in both conventional gearbox manufacturing and e-mobility components.

Even under highly variable machining conditions, such as automated production lines or with complex component geometries, Multicut SE 13's lubrication performance remains stable. The combination of high-quality hydrocracked base oils, synthetic greases, and coordinated EP additives ensures reliable performance even under high thermal and mechanical loads.

The Zeller+Gmelin laboratories develop lubricant technology of the highest standard -- Multicut SE 13 was also formulated here.

 

 

"During development, our focus was on a cutting oil that is both versatile and process-stable -- even under extreme conditions," explains Dr. Irene Kreitmeir, product manager at Zeller+Gmelin. "At the same time, our goal was to minimize oil mist and smoke generation to reduce stress for machine operators and improve workplace quality."

Stable lubricating film under high temperature loads

A key feature of the new lubricant is its thermal resistance: The viscosity changes comparatively little upon significant heating, ensuring consistent lubrication even at intense machining temperatures. The oil exhibits a very low Noack evaporation loss, which not only reflects the high lubricant quality but also significantly reduces lubricant consumption. Foam formation is also very low, ensuring maximum process reliability, especially in automated processes.

Multicut SE 13 is also designed for a clean working environment. The formulation minimizes the formation of smoke and oil mist, thereby reducing stress for machine operators and achieving better air quality in production.
