Sub-zero temperatures and frost are not uncommon in the winter, and these factors also affect coolants. The storage conditions of products need to be appropriate so that users can use coolants in top condition during the [...]
Formaldehyde1 has been classified by the Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) as both "Carcinogen category 1B" and "Mutagen category 2". However, under the directive for the classification of formaldehyde, there is no change to labelling requirements and no obligation [...]
What you need to keep in mind when using water-miscible coolants The quality of the water you use has a considerable influence on the functionality of your coolants. This is hardly surprising, as the proportion of water in emulsions [...]
How to clean coolant systems effectively
For production managers, the continuous measurement of the concentration of coolants is part of the production process — for one simple reason: the legislator prescribes this regular monitoring according to the valid technical regulations in each country. In addition [...]
Research and development It goes without saying that as our customer, you want to implement product innovations as soon as possible. Our high-performance lubricating greases for lifetime lubrication, and our coolants, such as rhenus FU 800, which is non-hazardous to humans [...]
Important tips for safe handling of coolants We want our customers to feel safe. So we‘ve published a new flyer to help make coolant handling easier and more user-friendly for you. We have seven tips that are effective and, [...]
Product price versus process costs According to a study by the Fraunhofer Institute, the “Total Costs of Procurement“ play a significant deciding role in whether a purchase makes economic sense. Process and material costs are particularly important factors in [...]
The GHS Regulation comes into effect on 1 June. The Globally Harmonised System (GHS) of the United Nations (UN) is a standard international system for the classification and labelling of chemicals, providing guidelines for packaging and safety data sheets. [...]
The term "Health and Safety" should be understood to be far-reaching, especially in production machining. This is because modern health and safety is preventative and does not wait for damage or events to occur before modifications or improvements [...]
In order to be and remain competitive as a company, not only do the products have to be of the highest quality, but the costs must be perfectly co-ordinated with the production process. What costs are incurred? The [...]
Samples of Coolants in the laboratory of Rhenus Lub Whereas formerly the main focus was on the technical performance of coolants, compatibility with people is becoming an ever greater priority. In addition, there are numerous and sometimes contradictory requirements [...]
Rhenus Lub has the answers Companies in the mechanical engineering and metalworking industries have no need to worry about the new legal situation regarding the use of formaldehyde — it is simply a matter of having the right lubricant [...]
Workshop at Fraunhofer Institute IWU For hard-finishing of high-precision gear teeth, users have set the bar high: Coolants need to effectively contribute toward achieving high performance in terms of safety, precision and machining speed. Participants learned how to reliably [...]
When it comes to hard-finishing of high-precision gear teeth, users have set the bar high. Coolants need to effectively contribute toward achieving high performance in terms of safety, precision and machining speed. Participants learned how to reliably achieve this [...]
