Thread cutting oils

Threading oils - an essential element of professional metalworking

Thread cutting oils are key products in the arsenal of every plumber and mechanic.   Their role in the metalworking process cannot be overestimated. They provide smooth cutting and thread forming. They reduce friction between the tool and the material being processed. They extend the life of tools and improve the quality of work performed.

At Onninen, we understand the importance of the right lubricants. That is why we offer a wide range of threading oils from renowned brands. Our portfolio includes products from Rems and Rothenberger. In addition, we proudly present our own brand Onnline.

Types of threading oils available from Onninen

Our range includes a variety of threading oils. Each has its own unique properties and applications. Here are the main product categories:

• Thread cutting oil spray
• Thread cutting oil in a canister
• Threading agents
• Synthetic thread cutting oil
• Mineral oil for threading

Spray oils are the perfect solution for quick work and hard-to-reach places.   They provide precise application and even surface coverage. They are irreplaceable when working in the field or in tight spaces.

On the other hand, oils in canisters are suitable for larger projects. They allow effective lubrication of tools for a longer period of time. They are an economical choice for workshops and manufacturing companies.

Threading agents are a broad category of products. It includes not only oils, but also pastes and emulsions. Each of these products has its own unique properties. The selection of the appropriate agent depends on the type of material being processed and the working conditions.

Synthetic threading oils are characterized by high efficiency and durability.   They are resistant to high temperatures and provide excellent lubrication. They are particularly suitable for machining difficult materials such as stainless steel.

Mineral oils are a classic solution, proven by years of practice. They offer good lubrication properties at an affordable price. They are a universal choice for most standard jobs.

How to choose the right threading oil?

Choosing the right threading oil is a key decision. It affects the quality of work and the durability of the tools. At Onninen, we often come across questions on this topic. Here are the most important factors to consider:

• Type of material being processed
• Threading method (hand or machine)
• Working conditions (temperature, humidity)
• Required durability and oil resistance
• Environmental and health and safety aspects

For mild steel and non-ferrous metals, standard mineral oils will work well.   For stainless steel and difficult-to-machine alloys, we recommend synthetic oils. They provide better heat dissipation and higher oil film strength.

When threading manually, the key is the ease of applying the oil. That is why we often recommend products in sprays or with a convenient dispenser. In the case of machine work, the efficiency and durability of the oil are important.

Operating temperature has a major impact on the choice of lubricant. Synthetic oils retain their properties over a wider temperature range. They are a good choice for work in extreme conditions.

In our daily practice, we see the growing importance of ecological aspects. More and more customers are asking for biodegradable threading oils. In response to this demand, we have expanded our offer to include environmentally friendly products.

Practical Applications of Thread Cutting Oils

Threading oils are widely used in various industries. They are essential wherever threaded connections are made. Here are some examples from our practice:

In hydraulics, thread cutting oils are crucial for pipe assembly.   They ensure smooth cutting of threads on steel pipes. They reduce the risk of seizing of connections. They improve the tightness and durability of the installation.

In the machine industry, these oils are used in the production of machine parts. They enable precise production of internal and external threads. They contribute to increased accuracy and repeatability of production.

The automotive industry is another area where threading oils are essential. They are used in vehicle repairs and maintenance. They make it easier to replace screws and fasteners.

In construction, these oils are used in the assembly of steel structures. They ensure easy and precise connection of elements using screws and nuts.

Recently, we had the opportunity to advise on the selection of oils for a large production plant project. The client needed a solution for threading stainless steel elements. We recommended a synthetic oil with high temperature resistance. The effect exceeded the client's expectations. The quality of threads and the durability of tools increased significantly.

In the case of office reorganization, we most often encounter the need to install new installations. This is where spray oils come in handy. They enable quick and clean work, without the risk of dirtying the surroundings.

Threading oils are not only technical products, but also a guarantee of safety.   A properly selected lubricant reduces the risk of failures and accidents. It ensures smooth operation and reduces the load on the tool operator.

At Onninen we offer not only products but also expert advice. Our specialists will help you choose the optimal threading oil for each application. Thanks to our many years of experience we can recommend solutions that have been tested in practice.
