Welcome to our new subscribers! Micro-Mail is the news and application e-mail which reports the possibilities for environmentally friendly lubrication for metal cutting and metal forming.

Call it "eco-friendly," "environmentally responsible," "green" or otherwise; we have been helping companies lubricate better while eliminating excess fluid considerations in industry for more than 50 years.

This issue features a current industry report on biobased lubricants, which are a key component to many recommendations UNIST makes. This message also contains an interesting article presenting international views on potential manufacturing recovery. We hope this news is helpful.

We look forward to working with you to resolve your lubrication issues. We always think about lubrication so you don't have to.

UNIST, Inc. introduces an updated enclosure design for the Uni-MAX series of MQL(minimum quantity lubrication) systems. The new design features a modular enclosure with improved aesthetics and better access for maintenance of key components. The enclosure is also now available with a keyed lock to prevent unauthorized tampering with the system settings.

Beginning August 2009 all UNIST Uni-MAX MQL spray systems incorporated these design improvements.

The article discusses positive growth in the biolube industry and cites favorable technical and economic activity which present opportunities for increased usage in manufacturing.

On the government web site mentioned at the very end of the article, UNIST Coolube products are approved for procurement and can be found on their own product details page of the Catalog.

This year's opportunity to attend the combined Fabtech, AWS Welding and Metalform Shows in Chicago is a great way to access new technologies and meet solution providers from all over the world under one roof.

Stop in and see the UNIST exhibit at booth 16013. We look forward to meeting with our existing customers as well as those looking to work with us for the first time.
