ZELLER+GMELIN is expanding its metalworking lubricant portfolio with Multicut SE 13, a multifunctional machining oil suitable for numerous processes. With high thermal stability, low evaporation rate, and minimal smoke generation Multicut SE 13 is proven for both conventional gearbox manufacturing and e-mobility components.
Multicut SE 13 is effective for a wide range of metalworking processes, including turning, milling, drilling, grinding, honing, broaching, and deep-hole drilling. Even under highly variable machining conditions, such as in automated production lines or with complex component geometries, its lubrication performance remains stable. The combination of high-quality hydrocracked base oils, synthetic greases, and coordinated EP additives ensures reliable performance even under high thermal and mechanical loads.
"During development, our focus was on a cutting oil that is both versatile and process- stable – even under extreme conditions," explained Dr. Irene Kreitmeir, product manager at Zeller+Gmelin. "At the same time, our goal was to minimize oil mist and smoke generation to reduce stress for machine operators and improve workplace quality."
A key feature of the new lubricant is its thermal resistance: The viscosity changes comparatively little upon significant heating, ensuring consistent lubrication even at intense machining temperatures. The oil exhibits a very low Noack evaporation loss, which reflects the high lubricant quality and also significantly reduces lubricant consumption.
Foam formation is also very low, ensuring maximum process reliability, especially in automated processes.
Multicut SE 13 is designed for clean working environments, with a formulation that minimizes smoke and oil mist formation, thereby reducing stress for machine operators and achieving better air quality in production.
The new Multicut lubricant is formulated in accordance with REACH regulations and contains no harmful ingredients. The combination of a sustainable formulation and high technical performance meets both technical and regulatory requirements for modern manufacturing processes.
Biocompatibility according to DIN EN ISO 10993-5:2009 also underscores the high level of responsibility for people and the environment, even in the development of lubricants. It is approved for use in Junker grinding machines – an indicator of its suitability for demanding grinding processes, such as those found in gear or drive technology.
The multifunctional oil combines high technical performance with a sustainable formulation and maximum process versatility. The non-water-miscible cutting fluid is suitable for machining a wide range of materials – including cast iron, steel, stainless steel, and selected aluminum alloys – and is used in traditional industrial sectors such as gear manufacturing as well as in future-oriented fields such as component production for electric drives.
"Our new Multicut SE 13 is a universal solution for the metalworking industry – developed for maximum process reliability while simultaneously achieving high cost- effectiveness and sustainability," Kreitmeir summarized.
