A metalworking fluid that is adapted to the machining process ensures perfect quality of the machined parts. When this fluid is also specifically adapted to the operating process, huge gains in speed, efficiency and ultimately cost can be generated. ...

The coldest period of the year has arrived. For those who have to go out on the road, it is quite a challenge these days. With the ice scraper at the ready (okay, your car can often do this itself nowadays) you step out of the door in the morning. An...

For the forming and punching of sheet material, a classic emulsion bath is still often used. However, you can save a lot of time and money when processing aluminum, copper, zinc or steel sheets (galvanised or otherwise) by using a vapourising liquid ...

Oxidation of a lubricant is a chemical process that changes a lubricant and makes it lose its chemical and physical properties. A quality lubricant contains antioxidant additives based on, among other things, amines and phenols. The oxidation of a...

Often, a manufacturer will suggest one or more viscosity values for an engine such as 5W-20 or 5W-30 based on different factors including the temperature and load. Engines often need a different viscosity depending on the operating conditions. OEMs, ...

A challenge for the food industry Large-scale food processing requires machines such as pumps, mixers, tanks, hoses, pipes, chain drives and conveyor belts. Machines that are used in food processing companies face similar lubrication challe...

We are firmly in the grip of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Exceptional circumstances lead to exceptional measures. Many companies have been required to work at a reduced capacity or close temporarily. Production stoppages may have a pernicious effec...

The various types of metalworking fluids and how to use them The right metalworking fluids are essential to ensure that metalworking processes are as safe and optimum as possible. Various types of metalworking fluids (namely, lubricants and soluti...

Food safety is crucial in the food industry. Incidental contact of food with a conventional lubricant can have serious consequences for the consumer. That is why, in cooperation with ESCA, Unil developed a completely new line of food grade oils and f...

No more stress and production stoppages due to an empty oil tank. Unil Lubricants can equip your tanks with ultrasonic or float sensors which enable you to monitor the status of your oil level at all times via your smartphone, tablet or PC. In additi...

FORMALDEHYDE-FREE Formaldehyde is a colourless gas that has a distinctive and irritating odour. It is an example of a volatile organic compound from the wider group of aldehydes. Exposure to this substance over the short and long term can be harm...

The formation of fungi and bacteria in the emulsion bath is the worst nightmare for metal processing machines. By taking the necessary precautions with the help of Unil Lubricants, you can outsmart bacteria formation and save yourself a lot of time, ...

uel economy due to low viscosity OEMs are adapting their lubricant requirements ever more rapidly so as to be able to meet the needs of green and fuel-saving alternatives. Thanks to the introduction of the ACEA C5 standard, there will be increasing ...

Our R&D department is continuously in search of innovative formulas for metal processing fluids to limit the impact on the environment to the extent possible. We have therefore developed a new range of boron-free oils to be able to offer a sustai...

The authorities are increasingly urging businesses to collect rainwater and re-use it for sanitary facilities, maintenance work, as a buffer, etc. Surplus buffer water can, however, also offer economically attractive options. We have accordingly succ...
