With rhenus XT 85 GREEN, Rhenus Lub is setting new standards in sustainability. This biodegradable metalworking fluid is a high-performance alternative for all metalworkers who attach particular importance to more sustainable products. rhenus XT 85 GREEN contains a high proportion of biogenic carbon, at over 85%. The advantage of this concept is that it uses the climate-damaging greenhouse gas CO2 as an active ingredient. In this way, CO2 from plants is converted into a usable raw material by photosynthesis \u2013 and a cyclical model is created in which CO2 is taken from the atmosphere, biologically transformed and returned to the atmosphere after use. The metalworking fluid therefore results in practically no net increase in greenhouse gas emissions even after the life cycle is complete (final thermal recycling).<\/p>\n
When it comes to minimising the environmental impact of the manufacturing industry, one key factor is the use of sustainable raw materials in process media, such as lubricants. By using biogenic carbon, the manufacturer Rhenus Lub has now opened a new chapter in the production of sustainable metalworking fluids: \u201cEven synthetic metalworking fluids, which manage without mineral oil, aren\u2019t automatically sustainable. In contrast, rhenus XT 85 GREEN and the use of biogenic carbon result in a climate-friendly cycle and represent a new approach to the development of metalworking fluids,\u201d explains Dr Hans-J\u00fcrgen Schlindwein, Head of Product Management Metalworking Fluids at Rhenus Lub.<\/p>\n
