With the current volatility in oil prices, along with rising disposal costs, you need to be aware of the TOTAL cost of coolant maintenance. You can't be concerned only with the price of your coolant, when disposal and recycling are such large contributors to your total expenses. Problems with low–priced coolants may include:

• Turning rancid quickly and causing odor (especially after they sit over the weekend)

• Causing skin irritation.

• Rusting on the exposed metal surfaces and causing paint to peel.

• Reducing tool life.

• Rising disposal costs.

• Many coolants may not be able to be recycled.

You need a better way to manage and maintain your coolants to keep costs under control!

RECYCLE your coolant instead of disposing of it. By employing a centrifuge, we separate the fresh coolant from tramp oils, metal fines, bacteria and fungus. For just $1.50 per gallon you can recycle your coolant to its original specifications, and only dispose of the waste products. You should be able to save 90+ percent of the coolant you have been paying cash to have hauled away!

Colmar has partnered with Master Chemical Corporation (Trim™ brand products) to provide you with a complete line of coolants that can be recycled. We will determine the best type of product to machine the materials you machine the most, and will eliminate the nuisances that negatively affect your shop's performance.

In recent months, Coolant prices rose rapidly when oil prices were high, and have not adjusted down when the oil prices fell. Now OPEC has cut production to raise the prices again. Any brand you use has been affected. You really can't control the cost of the coolants, but you can reduce some of the other costs associated with maintaining coolants. When your coolant is starting to get tired, instead of hauling it away for expensive disposal, you can separate out the usable product from the waste.

Example:

In a 100 gallon coolant tank, only 5–10% of the used coolant is waste. If you dispose of your entire coolant, you could be spending roughly $150 to dispose of it and $100 for 6 gallons of new coolant. By recycling, you would pay $150 to recycle, and only have to add one gallon of new coolant, at $15.00.

Multiply $540 for every 100 gallons of coolant tanks in your shop, and you can see the annual savings.

Master Chemical is well–known for their Trim line of coolants, especially their Trim–Sol® Soluable Oil. This Ohio–based company is at the cutting– edge of coolant technology, and they have a full offering of products for the metalworking market. Although they are not the cheapest coolants on the market, they could be the most cost– effective. Every product in their line is recyclable, to make your coolants last longer than many competitive products. Aside from longer sump life, they appear in most instances to add life to cutting tools and abrasives. I have been amazed by some of the test results I have seen.

We will also recommend the Master Chemical coolant that will work best in your shop's environment. We'll help you find the coolant that's right for your shop. After all, there's nothing worse than the stench of coolant that sat over the weekend, growing bacteria.
