GTL Technology in Industrial Lubrication: Beyond Mineral Oil
In an increasingly demanding industrial environment—where operational efficiency, sustainability, and safety are top priorities—choosing the right lubricant can make a significant difference. Traditional mineral oil-based solutions have long been the standard, but today, more advanced alternatives offer tangible benefits in performance, consumption, and environmental responsibility.
WHY SWITCH TO GTL-BASED SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS?
Lower consumption and emissions: up to 30% reduction in mist and vapor losses.
Process stability and control: improved antifoaming properties and excellent deaeration.
Better operator comfort: aromatic-free formulas with excellent skin tolerance.
Superior performance compared to mineral oils:more stable lubrication, reduced tool wear, and better machining quality.
Real sustainability: free from mineral oils, with lower environmental impact.
Increased operational safety:up to 25% higher flash point at the same viscosity.
At FUCHS, we develop industrial lubrication solutions that combine innovation, sustainability, and performance. Our ECOCUT range, formulated with GTL (Gas-to-Liquid) synthetic base oils, is designed to meet the demands of modern machining processes, where efficiency, cleanliness, and tool life are key factors. Thanks to the Fischer-Tropsch chemical process, we obtain ultra-pure base oils free from impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, and aromatic compounds. This allows us to formulate more stable, safer, and environmentally friendly industrial lubricants, which translates into process optimization, equipment protection, and working conditions improvement. All of it without compromising productivity.
Regardless of the metal type—steel, aluminum, copper, cast iron, or special alloys—the ECOCUT range offers a tailored solution.
