Efficient cooling for high-speed and CNC machining

Water-miscible cooling lubricants (wKSS) from LAEMMLE Chemicals ensure reliable cooling, optimum lubrication performance and controlled chip removal. They prevent overheating, avoid warping and ensure consistently high machining quality. Particularly in high-speed machining (HSC) and automated CNC production, they reduce thermal stress and extend tool life.

During turning and milling, they prevent thermal damage, ensure dimensional accuracy and increase process reliability. In drilling and deep-hole drilling processes, they enable smooth chip removal, whilst in grinding they reduce temperature build-up, minimise grinding burn and improve surface finish. In metal forming, they reduce unwanted material deformation, whilst in reaming, honing and lapping they enable precise surface structures.

Product variants for wKSS applications:

  • Products containing mineral oil (emulsifying)
  • Mineral oil-free synthetic or semi-synthetic products (water-soluble) 
  •  Additives & Additives 


Maximum precision for demanding materials 

Non-water-miscible cooling lubricants (nwKSS) offer maximum lubrication for precision machining, hard materials and high-pressure processes, where particularly efficient lubrication and maximum tool life are crucial. They reduce friction, prevent micro-wear and ensure consistent machining quality. 

During turning and milling, they protect tool edges and stabilise the process. In deep-hole drilling processes, they ensure reliable lubrication, whilst during grinding and lapping they improve surface quality. In electrical discharge machining (EDM) they prevent oxidation and ensure a clean finish. 

Product variant for nwKSS applications: 

  • Grinding oils: Maximum precision in carbide machining.

Further solutions for metalworking processes

Cutting oils for mechanical and abrasive machining

Cutting oils from laemmle-chemicals, specially developed for metalworking involving material removal and chip formation, ensure maximum tool protection, minimal friction and consistent process stability – even under the highest mechanical stresses. They reduce micro-wear, minimise thermal effects and prevent material hardening, thereby ensuring precise dimensional accuracy and extended tool life. Typical applications for machining oils include turning, milling, drilling, deep-hole drilling, grinding, lapping, honing and thread cutting.

Punching oils for high-performance punching processes

Punching oils from laemmle-chemicals reduce friction, minimise tool wear and ensure precise cut edges. Their high pressure resistance enables exact punching geometries even under high press forces. In both fine and coarse punching, they ensure uniform lubrication, prevent burr formation and extend tool life. In embossing and fine-blanking processes, they ensure controlled material separation, protect sensitive surfaces and reduce thermal stress. Their optimised lubricating effect makes them indispensable for high-precision series production and high-performance manufacturing.

Forming and deep-drawing oils for demanding forming processes

Forming and deep-drawing oils from laemmle-chemicals ensure precise, material-friendly forming of sheet metal and metal components. They reduce friction between the die and the workpiece, prevent surface cracks and work hardening, and enable uniform forming without cold welding – even under high pressure and tensile loads. In deep-drawing and stretch-drawing processes, they ensure reliable lubrication, reduce cracking and guarantee precise component geometries. In bending, punching and roll-forming processes, they optimise sliding properties, minimise tool wear and ensure consistent component quality.

Erosion oils for precision electrical discharge machining (EDM)

Electro-erosion oils (dielectrics) from laemmle-chemicals ensure a stable discharge environment, minimal electrode wear and precise material removal with the finest machining tolerances. In die-sinking EDM, they ensure consistent spark stability, prevent thermal damage to the workpiece and ensure precise material removal with optimised surface finishes.

Wire-drawing oils for fine and coarse drawing processes

Wire drawing oils from LAEMMLE Chemicals are essential for the precise and low-wear forming of wires. They reduce friction, improve surface finish and extend tool life – even at high tensile stresses and with fine wire dimensions. During fine and coarse drawing of metals, they ensure consistent lubrication, minimise wire breakage and reduce mechanical stress. In multi-stage drawing processes, they optimise process reliability, prevent cold welding and ensure consistently high production quality. Their excellent resistance to pressure and temperature makes them ideal for processing steel, aluminium, copper and high-strength alloys.

Honing and lapping oils for ultra-precise surface finishing

Honing and lapping oils from LAEMMLE Chemicals ensure maximum dimensional accuracy and precise surface structures. They provide uniform lubrication, prevent micro-wear and enable precise material removal without thermal effects. During honing, they ensure a consistent lubricating effect, reduce friction and optimise the pore structure of the material surface. In lapping processes, they ensure an even distribution of the lapping grains, improve surface quality and prevent uncontrolled material removal.

Corrosion protection and cleaning agents for long-lasting components 

Corrosion protection and cleaning agents from laemmle-chemicals protect metal components from oxidation, deposits and machining residues. They prevent rust formation, protect sensitive surfaces and ensure residue-free cleaning – even under demanding production conditions. Corrosion inhibitors offer long-term or temporary protection against moisture, acids and oxidation, whilst cleaning agents reliably remove oils and greases, swarf and production residues, ensuring a clean, functional surface.
