Tailored Metalworking Fluids for Precision Performance
At Twin Specialties, we understand that no matter how hard you try, sometimes stock metalworking fluids just can’t meet the demands you require for optimal manufacturing performance. That’s why we offer custom blended metalworking fluid formulations—engineered specifically to meet the demands of your machines, materials, and production goals.
Whether you’re machining stainless steel, drawing titanium, or grinding cast iron, we help you fine-tune your metalworking fluids for better performance, improved tool and coolant life, cleaner operations, and fewer issues in the factory. Our team works directly with you to evaluate your current fluids, diagnose problems, and deliver a better-performing blend—quickly and cost-effectively.
When Off-the-Shelf Isn’t Enough
Standard fluids work for standard jobs, but you should consider a custom formulation if you’re experiencing any of the issues listed below:
- Tool wear or breakage
- Rust or corrosion on parts or equipment
- Overheating or off-spec parts during machining
- Foaming or inconsistent coolant flow
- Bacterial growth or foul odors
- Skin irritation or misting concerns
- Or you’re simply not happy with your current supplier’s service or pricing
…it’s time to consider a custom solution.
At Twin Specialties, our formulation experts identify what’s going wrong and craft a tailored coolant, lubricant, or metalworking fluid that meets your exact operational needs.
Our Custom Fluid Development Process
Our approach is hands-on and rooted in real-world applications. Here’s how it works:
- Evaluate Your Current Fluid
We analyze what you’re currently using and gather feedback on performance. - Understand Your Operation
We consider your materials, machines, processes (CNC, grinding, stamping, drawing, etc.), and goals. - Identify the Issue
Whether it’s rust, foaming, bacteria, cost, or performance—we find the root cause. - Optimize the Formula
We may:
- Adjust oil content to improve lubricity
- Add biocides to fight bacteria
- Introduce specialty additives to improve corrosion resistance, reduce mist and/or foaming, or enhance stability
- Deliver a Custom Solution
We provide a unique, ready-to-use fluid, often based on proven base formulas we’ve adapted for similar needs.
Designed for a Wide Range of Metalworking Applications
Our custom blended fluids are used in:
- CNC machining (milling, turning, drilling, tapping)
- Grinding (surface, ID, OD, centerless)
- Drawing (forming, stamping, blanking, tube bending, perforating)
- Sawing and quenching
- And other precision metal fabrication operations
No matter the metal—aluminum, stainless, titanium, carbon steel, copper—we’ll recommend a formulation that fits your process and your budget.
