SYNTHETIC GREASES
Dow Corning's new synthetic greases promise clean handling, better low-
temperature capabilities and more effective automotive noise-damping. Formu-
lated with a unique base oil and additive technology, the Molykote greases feature
several
key benefits, such as friction-reduction properties to temperatures of minus
50 degrees C, less stringiness for cleaner and more efficient application methods,
controlled oil separation and bleed for cleaner parts and reduced staining over
time, and good water-washout resistance for extended life in wet environments.

CUTTING FLUIDS
The new Hysol SL 35 XBB and Alusol SL 51 XBB cutting fluids from
Castrol are intended to support the manufacturing of metal compo-
nents. The fluids are formulated to maintain pH at a constant level
and
are resistant to bacterial growth and acid attack. The lubricating
properties help prevent swarf buildup, assuring high-quality surface
finish and low scrappage rates. Even at low concentrations, the cut
-
ting fluids can help to maintain machining performance and protect
against
corrosion and staining.

FILTER CART
The new Mobile Filtration Device (MFD) filter cart from Schroeder Industries
features a fluid sampling system to enable users to know when the desired ISO
cleanliness levels have been achieved. The Hy-Trax option includes a TestMate Con
-
tamination Monitor (TCM) particle counter to allow a fluid's ISO codes to be seen
while
the cart is in operation. The particle counter has its own dedicated sampling
pump to provide the required pressures for accurate particle counts. The Hy-Trax
option is also offered as a complete kit for installation on existing carts.

ELEMENTAL SPECTROMETER
Spectro Scientific's new SpectrOil 100 Series of elemental spectrometers are
engineered to offer quick, laboratory-precise measurement of elemental con-
centrations in a variety of fluid types. Utilizing rotating disc electrode (RDE)
optical
emission spectroscopy (OES) technology, the spectrometers can
detect and quantify the presence of elements that indicate machine wear or
fluid contamination while also monitoring the depletion of additives accord
-
ing to ASTM D-6595. The analysis process involves no sample preparation
or
use of solvents or gases, and provides immediate multi-element results.
