An all-around beauty!

Strong performance on a wide variety of surfaces: With NOVOTEC® CL800, GELITA offers an environmentally friendly additive for water-miscible cooling lubricants in metal and plastics processing.


Every year, several million tons of cooling lubricants (MWF) are consumed worldwide in the metalworking industry. They are essential to protect components, tools and machines from abrasive wear and overheating during turning, drilling, milling and grinding. Common industry standards in this area are mineral oil-based emulsions often containing chemicals that require labeling. Typical disadvantages of these products are residues on components and machines that are difficult to remove and critical vapors.


NOVOTEC® CL800 puts an end to many of these problems. The innovative performance additive is based on natural proteins and GELITA has developed the next generation of environmentally friendly cooling lubricants. Used in semi-synthetic cooling lubricants, NOVOTEC® CL800 can improve cooling, reduce lubricant consumption and make it easier to clean machines and workpieces. When used in water-soluble, fully synthetic KSS, NOVOTEC® CL800 can contribute to extending the service life of tools and reducing maintenance and machine downtimes.


This is also shown by practical experience: A Mexican company processing galvanized steel, for example, had to struggle massively with deposits. Several times a year, production came to a standstill due to clogged lines, and the finished products sometimes showed visible deposits. So in 2019, they tested a metalworking fluid with NOVOTEC® CL800 – and have stuck with it to this day. Clogged pipelines and deposits on workpieces have been a thing of the past ever since.

At the time, the mechanical engineering company cwTec was dissatisfied with the usual oil-based coolants and was looking for an alternative. “We have had very good experience with the NOVOTEC® CL800-containing cooling lubricant,” reports Managing Director Christoph Wenk. “The work results are excellent and the machined workpieces come out of the machines clean and dry. The chips are also very dry, which indicates low consumption of cooling lubricants and makes disposal easier and more environmentally friendly.” Ultimately, NOVOTEC® CL800 is also beneficial to employee health, Wenk confirms: “The oil mist that used to settle everywhere is eliminated. Machines and manufacturing floors are now much cleaner and the air is much purer.”
