Chemtool started in business 35 years ago with a single metalworking product line. This line of soluble oils, semisynthetics, synthetics, and straight cutting oils met the needs of the customer base for quite a few years. As customer demands and needs required, Chemtool made the investment in people, technology and equipment required to add complementary product lines. This reduces purchasing and invoicing costs for companies. Companies can benefit in reduced pricing as volumes increase to a single or a select few suppliers.
Companies can benefit from a closer relationship with a single or select few suppliers.
These relationships can be used to promote new technologies, work on short and long-term cost savings projects, and joint ventures. The product was reformulated to meet the new proposed MS 2020 specs. Chemtool also has a line of synthetic quenchants formulated for Caterpillar facilities. This synthetic line offers the advantages of fire resistance and reduced smoke. Chemtool along with its technical partner, Union Carbide Corporation, market two different water glycol products.
