1. Nanofluid lubrication systems for the metal working industry

2. TEASER Lubrication for metal working looks like this:
Mineral- or synthetic oils
Non-degeneratable and toxic additives
Need of high volumes
New regulations 2018 (REACH)

3. TEASER 2
Degenerable vegetable oils in combination with nanotechnology gives:
Better surface quality
Longer tool-lifetime
Compartible with new environmental standards (REACH)
Facilitate MQL-technique (minimum-quantity-lubrication)
Considerable lower amount of volume (factor )
Metal working with NanoCLF + MQL

4. ORGANISATION PROFILE LetsNano 5 people Nanofluids
