AIRFRAME

Lubricants to help you meet HSE and maintain the performance and reliability of your airframes

In the evolving aerospace industry, companies are focused on important objectives such as overall weight reduction, fuel burn, noise and emissions to improve the environmental footprint and meet stringent Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) regulations.

To achieve the latest environmental targets and reduce carbon footprint, the aerospace industry is starting to use lighter materials, such as composites. To meet the needs of a modern production process in airframe manufacturing for aluminum alloys and composites machining, we have developed a comprehensive range of high-performance metalworking fluids and cleaners.

Through strong relationships with leading Machine Tool Original Equipment Manufacturers, our experts can offer trusted advice on how our products can help you deliver reliability and economic competitiveness.
