LENOX LUBE High-Performance Synthetic Sawing Spray Lubricant is an MQL lubricant for ferrous metal sawing applications where controlled spray lubrication is preferred over full flood coolant. This LX68016 package is supplied in a 275-gallon, 1,040.9-liter tote, making it suitable for high-volume saw departments, production cutting areas, and facilities using larger MQL lubricant management programs.
MQL, or minimum quantity lubrication, applies a small amount of lubricant directly to the cutting zone rather than filling a machine sump with flood coolant. LENOX describes LENOX LUBE 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 cleaner for the shop and operator.
Type: Synthetic MQL Sawing Lubricant | Brand: LENOX | Series: LENOX LUBE | SKU: LX68016 | Container Size: 275 gal | Volume: 1,040.9 L | Container Type: Tote
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 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.
- 275-gallon tote packaging supports production facilities with high-volume MQL lubricant demand.
Applications:
- Production band saw operations using MQL spray lubrication instead of full flood-coolant systems.
- Facilities 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.
- High-volume maintenance, MRO, and production saw departments seeking low daily lubricant consumption and reduced coolant disposal.
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 directly 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 LX68016?
A: LX68016 is the 275-gallon LENOX LUBE tote, listed as 1,040.9 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.
