Unist systems dispense a narrow stream of atomized lubrication called minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) or near-dry machining.
MQL keeps cutting tools at optimal temperatures without the mess of flood coolant by reducing friction. Minimum quantity lubrication can improve tool life and surface finishes using only a fraction of the fluid.
Mess-free lubrication for turning
Unist minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) systems deliver precise lubrication for turning operations, reducing mess and extending cutting tool life.

How Unist MQL solutions work
How does Unist deliver turning benefits using less fluid? We take a different approach:
Minimum Quantity Lubrication
Specialized Lubricants
Our Coolube products are high performance lubricants. We take renewable, plant-based materials and refine them to very high levels of purity.
The polar properties of Coolube create a high level of adhesion to metal surfaces and incredible friction-reducing capabilities.
Offered in several formulations, Coolube is a great option for machining ferrous, non-ferrous, and plastic materials. Coolube is so effective, you’ll be amazed at how little you need!
MQL Nozzles
Delivering the right amount of fluid is essential, but ensuring it reaches the target effectively is just as critical. That's why Unist offers a wide range of precision spray nozzles designed for various applications, including metal cutting, assembly lubrication, or machine wear points.
Offering multiple styles, lengths, spray patterns, and mounting options, Unist nozzles provide reliable, efficient fluid delivery for any process.
"We will be adding MQL to all our machines"
"Specializing in the overhaul and repair of Sikorsky helicopters, tight tolerance machining and surface finish is a must. The Unist MQL system is helping in this and eliminating the need for flood coolant."
