Technology

Foundry Alfe CHEM offers Olitema, a complete range of products for various metalworking processes, from the most classic neat and emulsifiable oils up to the latest technological innovations. The Olitema line comprises new high-tech products that keep up with the ever increasing requests in terms of productivity and final quality. All the Olitema lubes presents the following benefits:

  • HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
  • OUTSTANDING LUBRICATION
  • EASY FILTERABILITY
  • HIGH DETERGENCY
  • CLEANLINESS AND PROTECTION OF THE MACHINE TOOLS
  • EXCELLENT FINAL QUALITY
  • OPTIMAL PROTECTION FROM CORROSIVE AND OXIDATIVE PHENOMENA
  • HIGH STABILITY OF THE METALWORKING FLUID
  • IMPROVED SERVICE LIFE OF TOOLS

All products contain an effective preservative package that prevents the oxidation and biological degradation processes, usually responsible for the lubricating fluid alterations and the development of bad smells and rust, with a significant increase of the operating life of the tools and of the fluid. The particular formulation of soluble and emulsifiable oils included in the line ensures outstanding performance with waters having different hardness, without any problem related to the formation of foam or sludge. In addition, the Olitema emulsions possess among their characteristics also a high detergent action with good removal properties of metal fines, thus allowing a good cleaning of the machine and, more generally, of the working place. Compared to traditional products, the Olitema lubricating fluids ensure a low energy consumption and limited percentage of refilling, thus making economical the use of such products.
