Sunnen Dedicated to Product Quality

No matter what type of honing application you may have or how difficult the operation might be, Sunnen has the ideal solutions. These include traditional mineral oil-based blends for industrial and automotive use as well as evironmentally responsible non-hazardous and non-regulated honing oils for industrial and specialty use, such as the nuclear and aerospace industries.

  • MB-40 Honing Oil

    MB-40 combines the best features of our industrial and automotive honing oils. It is specially formulated for use in severe applications that encounter problems such as pick up and galling. Formulated with extreme cutting additives, MB-40 works well in Single-Stroke Honing? Diamond Tooling, conventional and superabrasive honing as well as in KROSSGRINDING? applications. It has also proven useful when fine textures are desired.

  • LT9X Honing Oil Concentrate

    LT9X can be used as a chlorine-free additive to boost performance or replace depleted additives in a wide variety of honing and cutting oils. Mixing LT9X in a one-to-one ratio with mineral oil makes a formulation similar to MB-30 Honing Oil. NOTE: Choose a mineral oil that is severely solvent refined or severely hydrotreated and has a viscosity of 50-100 sus. Avoid high wax content mineral oils.

  • MAN-863 Honing Oil

    MAN-863 was developed to answer the need for a non-hazardous, ecologically responsible, unregulated alternative to traditional honing oils. It is composed of natural surface active lubricity agents in combination with preservatives, a sulfur extreme pressure additive and metal deactivator to prevent staining of alloys containing copper. It is suitable for all materials including exotic metals. MAN-863 has a mild odor and is very gentle to the operator’s skin.

  • MAN-852 Honing Oil

    MAN-852 is a non-hazardous, ecologically responsible, unregulated honing oil composed entirely of natural surface active lubricity agents. Because this product does not use additives, it is ideally suited for applications where additives are restricted, such as the aerospace and nuclear industries. MAN- 852 is approved by Boeing Aircraft Company and is used to hone critical parts where classic cutting oil additives such as sulfur or chlorine have been shown to cause microcorrosion, resulting in part failure.

  • KG3X Honing Oil

    KG3X is a non-hazardous, ecologically responsible, unregulated honing oil. Like MAN-852, it is additive free and composed entirely of surface active lubricity agents, but formulated to a lower viscosity. Typically, this oil is used to hone critical parts where classic cutting oil additives such as sulfur or chlorine have been shown to cause microcorrosion, resulting in part failure. KG3X has a mild odor and is very gentle to the operator’s skin. It is very popular with operators who are sensitive to additives used in cutting oils.

  • SCC Honing Coolant

    SCC-605 and SCC-205 Honing Coolant Concentrates are formulated to meet the demands of the KROSSGRINDING? System, Single-Stroke Honing? and metalbond Superabrasive Honing. They are far superior to conventional honing oils in reducing or eliminating workpiece temperature buildup. SCC Coolant is also suitable as a grinding coolant or general purpose metal working fluid for both ferrous and non-ferrous parts. It contains no dangerous nitrites, nitrates, PCB’s, PTTBA, Mercurials, or Phenols.

  • SHO-500 Honing Oil

    SHO-500, a long-lived general-purpose honing fluid, is based on a renewable vegetable formulation that makes sustainable metalworking affordable and practical. It is 100 percent vegetable-based, therefore petroleum-free and without additives such as sulfur, chlorine and fluorine. This product is an ideal solution for honing applications where additives cannot be used, e.g. nuclear and some aerospace parts. SHO-500 joins Sunnen’s two other planet friendly oils, MAN-863 and KG3X, which are listed as BioPreffered? products by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

  • MB-30 Honing Oil

    MB-30 is Sunnen’s multi-purpose industrial honing oil. High performance lubricity agents combined with sulfur extreme pressure additives prevent welding and tearing of the work piece and keep the abrasive clean. MB- 30 delivers maximum cutting rates and abrasive life when honing difficult materials like stainless steel, and features a much higher level of surface active lubricity agent than other petroleum based machining oils. It works on virtually any metal from aluminium to zirconium.
