In the demanding world of carbide tool manufacturing, achieving precision, performance, and process consistency depends greatly on the quality of metalworking fluids used. STRUB Vulcan Futura CF-05, developed by Strub India Pvt. Ltd., has emerged as a trusted and high-performance solution for modern grinding operations. This sulphur-free, chlorine-free neat grinding oil delivers exceptional cooling, flushing, and filtration performance — making it an ideal choice for carbide, PCD, CBN, and HSS grinding applications.
Engineered for Modern Grinding Challenges
Carbide, known for its extreme hardness and durability, presents a unique challenge during tool grinding. The intense friction at the tool–workpiece interface generates high heat, which can lead to thermal damage, reduced tool life, and cobalt leaching — a serious health and quality concern. STRUB Vulcan Futura CF-05 addresses these challenges with its low-viscosity synthetic oil formulation, designed for superior cooling efficiency and minimal mist formation.
This advanced grinding fluid ensures a safer and cleaner working environment while maintaining outstanding grinding performance. Its anti-cobalt leaching property prevents the harmful dissolution of cobalt from carbide tools, protecting both operators and product quality.
Proven Performance Across India
Today, more than 200 carbide grinding machines across India — including installations at major carbide tool manufacturers — are running successfully on STRUB Vulcan Futura CF-05. Users consistently report noticeable improvements in tool life, sump life, and overall productivity, proving its superior formulation and long-term value.
The product has demonstrated 100% customer satisfaction, earning strong industry trust as a reliable choice for high-precision grinding environments. Its proven performance extends across applications such as solid carbide round tools, drills, regrinding operations, gear grinding, and both vertical and horizontal axis grinding.
