For the highest of performances in metalworking: BECHEM XC Fluids the new technology for more reliability and safety The new BECHEM XC Fluids establish a pioneering standard for metalworking fluids that are not mixable with water. The mineral-oil free BECHEM XC Fluids are based on synthetic base fluids and ensure a stable and safe production Evaporation loss [%] Air separation characteristics [sec.] Using innovative base fluids and synergistically active addi- process. Users profit from improved work safety and low 8 tive technologies results in new excellent performance benchmarks and optimized production processes. BECHEM XC Fluids have been developed for demanding metal cutting and make a compelling case given their higher flashpoints, low evaporation and reduced oxidation tendency, and they lead to increased performance and extended tool consumption. The continuously rising demands in metal cutting and machining processes require fluids with ever stronger performance. is the new generation of BECHEM metalworking fluids that have been developed today for the future already and which set the highest BECHEM standard. 6 4 2 Base oil 6 4 2 Base oil life.
