LENOX High-Performance Synthetic Sawing Spray Lubricant | 68018 | 5 (gal.) Capacity

LENOX LUBE High-Performance Synthetic Sawing Spray Lubricant is an MQL lubricant for ferrous metal sawing applications where the goal is to reduce frictional heat without running a full flood-coolant system. This 68018 package is supplied in a 5-gallon, 18.9-liter container, making it a practical size for shops using MICRONIZER systems or other compatible spray-lubrication setups.

MQL stands for minimum quantity lubrication, a method that applies a very small amount of lubricant directly to the cutting zone instead of filling a machine sump with flood coolant. LENOX LUBE® is described by LENOX as a high-performance synthetic spray lubricant for ferrous metals. Its extreme-pressure lubricant helps reduce frictional heat, prevent chip welding, and support an excellent workpiece finish, while the synthetic, water-based formulation is intended to be clean for the shop and operator.

Type: Synthetic MQL Sawing Lubricant | Brand: LENOX | SKU: 68018 | Container Size: 5 gal | Volume: 18.9 L

Features:

• High-performance synthetic spray lubricant for ferrous metal sawing applications.
• Extreme pressure lubricant reduces frictional heat, helps prevent chip welding, and supports an excellent workpiece finish.
• Synthetic, water-based formulation supports cleaner shop conditions compared with traditional oil-heavy cutting methods.
• Uses only ounces per day in compatible MQL systems, helping reduce fluid consumption and disposal requirements.
• Optimized for ferrous metals when used with LENOX MICRONIZER systems to lubricate carbon steels, alloy steels, and stainless steels.
• Works best on pipe and thin-walled tubing where controlled lubricant delivery helps support cleaner cutting.
• Surfaces can be welded and painted over after cutting when used as specified by LENOX.

Applications:

• Band saw operations using MQL spray lubrication instead of a full flood-coolant sump.
• Shops cutting carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel with LENOX MICRONIZER systems.
• Pipe and thin-walled tubing applications where LENOX LUBE is identified as working best.
• Fabrication environments where cut surfaces may move on to welding or painting after sawing.
• Maintenance, MRO, and production saw departments that want reduced coolant disposal and low daily lubricant consumption.

FAQs:

• Q: What is LENOX LUBE used for?
  A: LENOX LUBE is a synthetic MQL spray lubricant for sawing ferrous metals. It is used to reduce frictional heat, help prevent chip welding, and support a clean workpiece finish.
• Q: What does MQL mean?
  A: MQL means minimum quantity lubrication. Instead of flooding the cut with coolant, an MQL system applies a small, controlled amount of lubricant at the cutting zone.
• Q: What materials is LENOX LUBE best suited for?
  A: LENOX lists steel as the primary application. Cast iron, aluminum, cast aluminum, stainless steel, and high nickel alloys are listed as secondary applications.
• Q: What size container is product 68018?
  A: Product 68018 is the 5-gallon LENOX LUBE container, equal to 18.9 liters.
• Q: Should LENOX LUBE be mixed with water?
  A: The current LENOX product page states that LENOX LUBE can be mixed with water at 5%. Older catalog references may state to use the product as supplied, so verify the current label or SDS before publishing mixing instructions.
