Manchester-based Molyslip (www.molyslip.co.uk), an independent UK-based manufacturer of specialised lubricants, has launched a ‘greener’ alternative cutting fluid. This is an upgraded and more cost-efficient version of its TAP Chlorine Free — a high-performance lubricant that is free from mineral oils and chlorine and is designed for intense metal-working operations such as drilling, reaming and tapping.

TAP Chlorine Free includes highly concentrated environment-friendly mixtures of lubricity and reactive extreme-pressure and anti-wear additives which provide excellent surface finish to components and protect tooling from
wear and damage.

Andrew Cunningham, Molyslip general manager, said: “The TAP range is already proving to have outstanding extreme-pressure and anti-wear ability, and we can now offer this exceptional performance alongside ‘green’ credentials.

“We are proud to be using advanced technology to reduce carbon emissions in our manufacturing processes, and we are enabling our customers to do the same.”

Molyslip has been supplying products to a wide range of industries both nationally and internationally since the 1930s, and it exports to over 60 countries world-wide.
