Henkel Redefines Industrial Machining and Grinding with Sustainable Metalworking Innovation
Henkel Corporation, a global leader in industrial solutions, has recently introduced Bonderite L-MR B-637, a novel machining and grinding fluid. Positioned as a sustainable alternative, this bio-resistant, boron-free and semisynthetic formula represents a significant step forward in both performance and environmental responsibility. Its bio-resistant formulation not only mitigates microbial growth but also aligns with evolving environmental regulations by eliminating boron. Designed for process requirements that make foam difficult to control, the metalworking fluid is excellent for heavy-duty ferrous or nonferrous machining. This versatility ensures seamless integration across machining and grinding operations, irrespective of water conditions or equipment specifications. In fact, the avoidance of boron aligns with industry trends and impending regulatory changes, as boron is anticipated to be phased out over the coming decades.
