Industrial Lubrication and Technical Greases

115 products · Industrial Lubrication

Products for lubricating machinery and plant and for metalworking: cutting oils and fluids, coolants, technical greases, threading oils and protective products, with the equipment for dispensing them such as pumps and grease guns. They are aimed at mechanical workshops, metal fabricators, industrial maintenance and construction sites.

Types in the collection

  • Coolants and fluids for machine tools and band saws;
  • cutting and threading oils;
  • technical greases and lubricants for special applications;
  • protective products for metals and conveyor belts;
  • grease pumps and guns, with their fittings.

Brands include Faren, Chemical Roadmaster, Lenox, Makita and Milwaukee.

How to choose

It depends on the operation: for cutting metals you need dedicated fluids or oils, while for bearings and moving parts you need greases of the right consistency. The material being worked, the operating temperature and the application method, by hand or with a pump, also matter. If in doubt, it is best to consult technical support.

In machining operations the right fluid extends the life of cutting tools and improves the finish, while a suitable grease reduces maintenance downtime for bearings and transmission components.

Frequently asked questions: Industrial Lubrication and Technical Greases
What are cutting emulsions used for in the workshop?

They are fluids which, diluted in water, cool and lubricate the tool and the workpiece during machining. They are used on lathes, milling machines and band saws. They reduce friction and heat, helping to extend tool life and improve the finish of the workpiece. The right concentration depends on the material being machined and on the machine.

Neat cutting oil or emulsion: how do I choose?

Neat oil is used undiluted for heavy operations such as threading, tapping or turning, while emulsion is diluted in water and cools better. The Faren range includes neat oils for aluminium, turning and tapping, and semi-synthetic emulsions for general use. Choose based on the material, the type of operation and the machine.

How do you check and maintain an emulsion bath in the workshop?

Check the concentration regularly with a refractometer or the tests specified by the manufacturer, because water evaporates and the fluid loses effectiveness. Additives help stabilise the bath but must be dosed carefully. Clean the tank and replace the fluid when unpleasant odours, abnormal foam or sludge appear.

Which additives are needed for a coolant bath?

Logiq Faren additives serve different functions. The corrosion inhibitor protects parts from rust, the alkaliser adjusts the pH of the bath and the sanitiser counters the bacteria that cause odours. They are not all needed together: choose based on the specific problem. Dose according to the data sheet and do not mix products from different brands without checking.

Which fluid is needed for band saws?

For band saws there are specific cutting fluids and coolants, such as the Band-Ade Lenox cutting fluid or the Saw Master Lenox coolant. The fluid must be diluted as directed and kept clean, because residues can clog the nozzles and reduce cutting efficiency. Always check that the product is compatible with the machine and with the material being cut.

How do you use a grease pump or gun safely?

Clean the grease point before connecting the gun, so that dirt and dust do not enter the bearing. Do not overload the point with too much grease, as this can overheat the component. Use gloves resistant to oils and keep containers closed, away from heat. Read the grease safety data sheet before use.

Which standards govern lubricants and cutting fluids?

Lubricants are chemical substances subject to the REACH regulation and to the CLP classification rules. The safety data sheet states hazards, protections and disposal. Spent emulsions are special waste and must be handed to authorised companies, without being discharged into sewers. For maintenance, it is good practice to note fluid changes and checks.
