Begin Manufacture Of New
Product At Republic
Fdirchild Hiller Corporation
has formed a new subsidiary, the
I^ airchild Chemical Corporation,
to manufacture and market a
remarkable new cutting fluid at
the Farmingdale facility.
A cutting fluid, also known as
collant, is a liquid, gas or solid
product, which is applied to a
cutting tool or grinding wheel
during metalcutting operations.
The fluid is said to have superior
lubricity to known cutting
oils and the great cooling power
and minimal evaporation rate of
chemically fortified water. This
permits greater tool life and
higher production rates.
The new cutting oil is the first
of its type to be recommended
as universal for work on all
metals, plastics and ceramics
combining the best features of
competitive cutting fluids into a
single product.
