Expansion of fluid technology line Cimcool ® Fluid Technology has expanded the Cimmill line of products for tube and pipe customers.

We knew the tube and pipe industry would benefit from having fluids with better performance, especially considering the growth of natural gas exploration in the United States,” said Mr Koehler. As with all Cimcool products, the new Cimmill line is backed by the company’s no-hassle product guarantee, technical support, and offer of a free product trial.

• Cimmill SC, an alkaline sump cleaner developed to rid sumps of biofilms and built-up debris. It is suitable for cleaning sumps prior to charge- ups and helps provide a clean environment for new fluids • Cimmill 5 straight-oil, designed for tough cold pilgering operations. This product is chlorine-free, but offers the performance that usually requires extreme pressure lubricants to achieve.

“The Cimmill line was released in February 2012 to better serve the tube and pipe market,” stated Bruce Koehler, product manager for Cimcool Fluid Technology. “The Cimmill line was formulated for processors to get better thread quality, longer die and tool life, as well as other performance attributes our customers expect from Cimcool products. When customers started using our Cimmill fluids, they asked if we had products for their other applications. These customers were already seeing more productivity and thought that they could benefit further from our technology.” The Cimmill fluid line expansion includes: • Cimmill RP 365 solvent/oil-based rust protection, used neat. This product will provide over a year of corrosion protection and leaves a protective film residue • Cimmill RP 24-7 water-based rust inhibitor, used as-supplied to provide up to a year of indoor corrosion protection. The protective fluid is VOC-free and meets the standards set by the California South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1144
