Service & Practice
What pays off.
A higher price per liter says nothing about the economic efficiency of a metalworking fluid. What matters is its impact on the total machining costs — and these are not measured in the coolant tank, but at the tool, machine, and workpiece.
THE LEVERS OF TOTAL COST
01 · Tool Costs
50 to 400% longer tool life directly reduces tool costs — along with tool-change times and procurement logistics.
02 · Machine Hours
Higher cutting speeds and feed rates mean shorter cycle times — with the same machine utilization, output increases measurably.
03 · Coolant Service Life
With a minimum 2-year target service life (Tool-X 101 EU), frequent complete changes — including cleaning, disposal, and downtime — are often eliminated.
04 · Scrap & Secondary Costs
Clean cutting-edge geometries and stable surfaces reduce scrap; less heat protects the spindle, guides, and workpiece.
| Item | Market Coolant | TOOL-X 101 EU | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tool life | 100 holes | 350 holes | +250 % |
| Cycle time per hole | 28 s | 21 s | −25 % |
| Tool costs per 1,000 holes | 10 tools | 2.9 tools | −71 % |
| Machine time per 1,000 holes | 7.8 h | 5.8 h | −25 % |
The additional cost per liter of NanoCoolant typically pays for itself within the first 2–4 weeks of productive operation.
