LENOX C-AI High-Performance Synthetic Sawing Spray Lubricant | 68028 | 275 (gal.) Capacity

LENOX C-AI 68028 is a high-performance synthetic MQL sawing lubricant supplied in a 275 gal / 1,040.9 L tote for high-volume metal sawing operations. MQL, or minimum quantity lubrication, applies a controlled amount of lubricant directly to the blade and workpiece instead of flooding the cut with coolant, helping shops reduce fluid consumption while maintaining lubrication at the cutting zone. This clean synthetic oil lubricant is formulated for spray applications and Near Dry Machining (NDM), especially where cutting solids, structural shapes, aluminum, copper alloys, and other ferrous or non-ferrous metals requires a low-volume lubrication approach.

C-AI™ Lubricant is a chlorine-free fluid that helps improve cutting performance, reduce chip welding to the teeth, support better surface finish, and extend saw blade life when used with compatible spray lubrication equipment. The 68028 tote size is a practical choice for production saw rooms, metal service centers, fabrication shops, and plants running LENOX Micronizer or Micronizer Jr. systems. Use this product as it comes from the container; do not mix it with water.

Type: Synthetic MQL Sawing Lubricant | Product Number: 68028 | Product Family: LENOX C-AI Lubricant | Container Size: 275 gal | Metric Volume: 1,040.9 L tote

Features:

• High-performance synthetic spray lubricant for metal sawing applications.
• Formulated for minimum quantity lubrication systems, including LENOX Micronizer and Micronizer Jr. equipment.
• Clean synthetic oil lubricant helps reduce chip welding to saw teeth during cutting.
• Supports improved surface finish and extended saw blade life when matched to the correct blade, machine, and cutting parameters.
• Chlorine-free fluid for shops that require non-chlorinated lubricant selection.
• Insoluble in water and intended to be used directly from the container.
• 275-gallon tote packaging helps reduce changeovers in high-use production sawing environments.

Applications:

• Metal service centers — cutting solids, structurals, bar stock, and mixed production orders with compatible MQL spray systems.
• Aluminum sawing operations — cutting billets, plates, castings, and aluminum shapes where chip welding control is important.
• Fabrication shops — sawing steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals with a clean, low-volume lubrication method.
• Production saw rooms — supplying multiple sawing stations or high-volume band saw operations from a bulk tote container.
• Industrial maintenance departments — stock preparation, fixture building, repair work, and general shop sawing where MQL lubrication is required.

FAQs:

• Q: What does MQL mean?
  A: MQL stands for minimum quantity lubrication. It uses a small, controlled amount of lubricant at the cutting zone instead of a flood coolant system.
• Q: Can LENOX C-AI™ Lubricant be mixed with water?
  A: No. This product should be used directly from the container and should not be mixed with water.
• Q: What materials can this lubricant be used on?
  A: It is used for sawing ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including steel, cast iron, aluminum, cast aluminum, stainless steel, high nickel alloys, titanium, copper alloys, solids, and structural shapes.
• Q: Is this lubricant for flood coolant systems?
  A: No. LENOX C-AI is a synthetic MQL spray lubricant for Near Dry Machining applications. For flood coolant systems, select a LENOX sawing fluid made for flood application.
• Q: Why choose the 275-gallon tote?
  A: The 275-gallon tote is suited for production sawing departments, metal service centers, and facilities that use a high volume of MQL lubricant across one or more saws.
