Our newest product, MK-GoldTurn®, was recently compared with popular machining
fluids in a series of Drawbead Test (ASTM D4173).  It demonstrated greater
cost/performance value than other brands.  And, it is priced below published prices
shown in the popular catalogs.  Markee products are all water based, environmentally
friendly, and do not contain petroleum oils or solvent (hydrocarbons). Here are the
Drawbead SLT scores and prices of the products tested.  Lower SLT scores indicate
more lubricity, and give longer tool life.  A difference greater than 5% is considered
significant.

Developed as a tapping fluid, this new product is now being used in diamond boring,
honing, tapping, turning, and broaching.
