When it comes to hand-applied lubricants, the ROCOL RTD® family of cutting lubricants has, and will always be, ‘the original and still the best.’ For a product range to have been available for generations, and still be the industry leader is testament to the advanced technology in the ROCOL RTD® fluids, compounds and sprays. Regardless of its industry leading position, a company like ROCOL doesn’t rest on its laurels. The development engineers and expert chemists at the Leeds based Company have taken the ‘best’ and now engineered it to create the new Tri-Logic® series. With the
arrival of the new Tri-Logic series, ROCOL has now enhanced its industry leading RTD® (Reaming, Tapping & Drilling) range of cutting technologies. The evolution of the Tri-Logic® series demonstrates ROCOL’s commitment to its continuous improvement programme. Working in close cooperation with its customer base across all industry sectors, ROCOL has paid meticulous attentio
n to detail regarding the evolution of machine tool and cutting tool advancements as well as the ongoing material technology advancements.
The hand applied metal cutting lubricant Tri-Logic® RTD® Liquid is a viscous fluid containing extreme pressure additives for use in reaming, tapping, drilling and other metal cutting operations. Tr
i-Logic® RTD® is suitable for all metals including hardened steels, titanium, nimonics and all grades of aluminium alloys, significantly reducing friction to give superb cutting performance. Despite the exponential uptake in CNC technology in the last 30 years, hand applied liquids are as pertinent now as they have ever been. The Tri-Logic® RTD® fluid has been developed with anti-microbial properties, so commonly found coolant sump bacteria will not identify the RTD® Tri-Logic fluid as a food source. This quality in the Tri-Logic® RTD® fluid helps to significantly reduce coolant degradation often caused by excessive tramp oil. This prolongs coolant life, reduces fluid costs and minimises the potential for bacterial growth and the associated health and skin conditions suffered by users of water mix cutting fluids.. ‘The original and still the best’ ROCOL RTD® liquid is available in bottles and containers from 400ml, 5ltr and 20ltr up to 200ltr whilst the Tri-Logic® RTD® liquid is available in 350ml, 5ltr and 20ltr quantities. As the ‘must have’ product for all machine shops, tool-rooms and maintenance departments, ROCOL has also developed sulphur and chlorine free versions of the industry leading fluid.
