Boelube Machining Lubricants
Benefits:
- Manufactured from personal care ingredients
- Non-toxic, non-irritating and biodegradable
- Non-corrosive, non-flammable, chemically stable and free of halogens, heavy metals, sulfur, phosphorus, silicone, petroleum and paraffin wax
- Will not promote dermatitis
Applications:
- Presents a safe effective method for operators to machine metal, composites, graphite, etc. without special handling or typical disposal problems.
- Recommended for use on titanium, inconel, aluminum, stainless steel, graphite, composites, honeycomb, kevlar and wood.
- Can also be used with other ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
- Application of minute amounts of Boelube®, which is consumed in the metalworking process, will greatly improve tool life, surface finish and hole quality.
- High film strength and lubricity and unique polar properties are the keys to its ability to provide superior lubrication.
Features:
- Minimize heat generation and concurrent chip weld
- Tools retain their cutting edge longer, leading to closer tolerances and prime chip yield
Boelube Solid
- High efficiency machining lubricant in solid form.
Boelube Solids come in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate ease of application in drilling, tapping, reaming, abrasive belts, deburring, grinding wheels, band, circular and hand saw blades.
Typically the Boelube solid is applied to the tool before start-up. In a block or tube form, it can be hand held and a drill bit can be touched to the solid before drilling or the solid may be swiped across the surface to be drilled. Only a minimal amount is required when drilling through thin material.
Boelube Solids are extremely cost effective in single point work such as drilling and reaming.
Improve tool life by reducing heat build-up by applying Boelube push-up tubes or individual blocks to the tool before start-up.

Boelube Paste
- High efficiency machining lubricant in paste form.
Near dry machining lubricants can also be formulated into paste forms – Boelube Pastes. Boelube Pastes are extremely cost effective in single point work such as drilling, reaming and tapping. A minimal amount of paste applied to the tool is all that is required to improve surface finish, yield closer tolerances and extend tool life – Brush it on or dip tool in paste.
For Forming and Bending – Boelube Pastes provide an excellent means of obtaining maximum stretch area and close tolerance bends by providing superior lubrication that allows the workpiece to attain the desired shape without creating areas that are stressed.
Apply the Paste evenly over the entire workpiece, with both sides being lubricated on larger parts.

Boelube Liquid
- High efficiency machining lubricant in liquid form.
Boelube 70104 / 70105 / 70090 is a proprietary liquid lubricant developed through Boeing manufacturing operations and lubricant experience.
In the near dry machining process, Boelube Liquid can be delivered as fine droplets or spray through one or more nozzles positioned accordingly around the cutting tool. Delivering the Boelube liquid as fine droplets to the cutting edge is necessary in order to reduce friction between the chip, tool, and workpiece, and prevent chips from adhering to the tool cutting edge.
The near dry machining processes using Boelube requires continual reapplication of lubricant to the tool cutting edge and wear surfaces. This can be accomplished externally on shallow drilling, reaming and tapping operations, on milling cutters, and on band and circular saws.
Using a coaxial supply of compressed air and lubricant to the nozzle, the nozzle directs Boelube lubricant droplets in the compressed air directly to the cutting edge. The compressed air will help move chips from the tool cutting edge as the fine lubricant droplets form a thin film at the point of contact to reduce friction.
Boelube does not contain Silicone, Sulfur, Halogens (such as Chlorine), Phosphorus, Paraffin Wax, or Petroleum.
Boelube is recommended for use with machining Aluminum, Titanium, Inconel, Stainless Steel, Carbon Fiber Composites (CFRP), Honeycomb, Kevlar, Ferrous and Non-Ferrous materials.
BOELUBE® lubricants are extensively used in the operation of portable positive feed drills.
BOELUBE® lubricants can also be delivered continually through tools with internal channels directly to the cutting edge in drilling, reaming, tapping, and milling applications.
