MED WL 68

  • Base Oil Technology: Mineral Slideway
  • Viscosity: 68
  • Viscosity Index: 103

AMSOIL Industrial MED WL 68 Way & Slide Lubricant is a low-sulfur, low-acid oil designed to resist emulsification and provide superior coolant compatibility in medical industry machining operations. It contains special friction modifiers to help prevent slip-stick chatter in machine tool feeds, reducing the friction between the carriage and the slide ways while the tool is stationary, which helps prevent the carriage from surging as the feed begins and then hesitating while the drive catches up.

  • Optimized sulfur-based anti-wear chemistry and high demulsibility for superior coolant compatibility. 
  • Strong adherence to vertical and horizontal ways to help prevent coolant contamination.
  • Excellent filterability for use in Bijur* lubricators.
  • Superior lubricity, film strength and slip-stick characteristics reduce chatter and support smooth sliding of heavy tooling along supporting ways.
  • Inhibits oxidation and corrosion to promote long equipment life.
