Soluble Oils

Optimum Results

RESCO® Tuf Kut soluble oils are a series of specially formulated metalworking compounds containing extreme pressure lubricants that offer optimum results under the most difficult machining operations. The Tuf Kut series was designed to meet even the most critical requirements of high-speed metal removal operations. The Tuf Kut series can be used on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals in a variety of machining operations. 

Extended tool life, superior finishes, heavy stock removal, and good heat dissipation are some of the benefits you’ll find using the Tuf Kut series of soluble oils. RESCO® soluble oils are available in both chlorinated and non-chlorinated versions.

Semi Synthetic Coolants

Advanced Technology and Cleanliness

Designed using the best semi-synthetic technology found in the industry, RESCO® Semi Kool coolants offer all the advantages of the lubrication packages found in traditional soluble oil chemistry along with the added benefit of cleanliness and extended sump life you would expect to find in total synthetic coolants. Semi Synthetic Coolants deliver exceptional tool life and rust protection for use in individual machine sumps as well as larger central systems. 

The versatility of the Semi Kool series often allows you to replace multiple products with a single fluid. These products can be used with both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and they are formulated with either chlorinated or non-chlorinated extreme pressure lubrication packages to provide lubrication characteristics ideal for multiple machining applications.

Total Synthetic Coolants

Higher Efficiency

The RESCO® line of total synthetic coolants includes a full series of coolants formulated with the latest machining and grinding chemistry. Our products have proven successful over years of use throughout the metalworking industry, including glass-grinding applications. 

Our total synthetic coolants are known for their excellent corrosion prevention and lubricity packages without the use of mineral oils and other raw materials that can create unwanted residues. They offer outstanding tramp-oil rejection, producing exceptional levels of cleanliness on both the machine tool and work piece surfaces. Formulated with balanced and effective biocide packages, our synthetic coolants offer outstanding sump life performance which translates into even greater value for our customers.
