Metal working lubricant is a lubricant specially used in the metal processing process, aiming to improve processing efficiency, reduce costs, improve product quality and reduce environmental pollution.

Metalworking lubricants usually consist of base oils, additives and functional agents. Base oil is the main component of lubricants, and it can be mineral oil or synthetic oil. Additives and functional agents are used to enhance the performance of lubricants, such as antioxidants, anti-wear agents, anti-emulsifiers, etc.

Metal processing lubricants have a wide range of applications, including cutting, grinding, drilling, stamping, bending and other metal processing processes. They can effectively reduce the friction between the tool and the workpiece, improve processing accuracy and efficiency, while protecting the workpiece surface from oxidation or corrosion.

The metalworking lubricants market will continue to expand over the next few years. In this market, semi-fluid lubricants are the most commonly used type on the market, followed by cutting fluids and grinding fluids, etc. In terms of application fields, the automotive and manufacturing industries are the largest demanders, followed by the aerospace and electronics industries.
