LubeCorp is pleased to announce that its high performance, SAFE and biodegradable metalworking fluid – GreenCut Cutting/Misting Fluid, and treatment for CNC plasma arc water tables – GreenCut Plasma are super-compliant with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).

The SCAQMD is the air pollution control agency for all of Orange County and the urban portions of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, the second most populated urban area in the United States. SCAQMD`s role is to protect public health from air pollution and often finds itself at the forefront of the nation’s emission reduction efforts.

Under the Rule 1144 developed to regulate metalworking fluids and direct-contact lubricants, those with the VOC (volatile organic compounds) content lower than 50 grams/Liter are granted the super-compliant status freeing the users from recordkeeping requirements.

LubeCorp Manufacturing Inc. has taken the steps to enter the European Union market. One of the conditions to export to EU is compliance with the European regulations that govern the manufacturing and import of chemicals – REACH. This is a complex regulatory process that is designed to protect human health and the environment from the use of chemicals and requires all the manufacturers and importers in the European Union to register chemicals in their products, assess their impact and assure safety of all parties involved in the manufacturing, sale and use of the products.

 

More about REACH

REACH is a regulation that governs Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals in the European Union. It entered into force in June 2007 as EU Regulation (EC No. 1907/2006).

REACH has the following aims:

• To provide a high level of protection of human health and the environment from the use of chemicals.
• To make the people who place chemicals on the market (manufacturers and importers) responsible for understanding and managing the risks associated with their use.
• To allow the free movement of substances in the EU market.
• To enhance innovation in and the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry.
• To promote the use of alternative methods for the assessment of the hazardous properties of substances.

 

REACH makes industry responsible for assessing and managing the risks posed by chemicals and providing appropriate safety information to their users. In parallel, the European Union can take additional measures on highly dangerous substances, where there is a need for complementing action at EU level.

LubeCorp Manufacturing Inc. works closely with its European partners to assure compliance with REACH. All our products imported in the European Union are compliant with this regulation.

If you have any REACH-related questions, please contact our Product Stewardship Team by sending your e-mail to [email protected].

GreenCut Cutting Fluid was tested in bandsaws by a leading provider of steel in Canada and the United States. Greencut showed significantly higher performance than competing fluids.

COMPANY: Varsteel Ltd.

COUNTRY: Canada

APPLICATION: Band Saws

KEY EDGE:

● 140% Increase in Saw Blade Life

● Annual Savings Estimate $50,000

● Reduced downtime by 30%

● Increased Customer Satisfaction

● SAFE for workers

● Easy maintenance

Varsteel Ltd. is a leading provider of steel, rebar, pipe, piling and structural steel in Canada and the United States. Varsteel tested 4 different lubricants in its band saws in order to increase life of blades used for cutting of steel. It was found that GreenCut Cutting Fluid from LubeCorp Manufacturing significantly increases life of the blades from 10-15 eight-hour shifts experienced by the other three lubricants to 28-32 eight-hour shifts. The company reduced maintenance time by 30% with estimated total annual savings of $50,000.

By utilizing GreenCut, Varsteel increased customer satisfaction. Customers no longer had to clean the steel products from Varsteel and could process them (paint, powder-coat) directly after purchase.

The saw operators also like GreenCut because it is safe for their health, prevents breathing and skin problems, doesn`t cause slippery surfaces and is simple to maintain by checking the coolant with a pH strip at the beginning of each shift.

We would like to thank Varsteel Ltd. for sharing the results of the internal productivity study with us and kind support.
