Case Studies

A manufacturer producing aluminum and stainless steel components for semiconductor fabrication equipment was experiencing significant challenges with their metalworking fluid and its supplier. The fluid generated excessive foam, frequently overflowing from machines and creating slip hazards on the shop floor. To maintain performance, the fluid had to be used in high volumes, driving up operational costs. Compounding the issue, the supplier offered little support in resolving these problems, and inconsistent pricing further eroded the manufacturer’s trust in the product.

The company received a recommendation for TRIM E715, a high-quality, low-foaming, universal soluble oil designed for demanding fluid management systems with a pending approval from Applied Materials^® for the semiconductor industry. Its stable formula ensures long operational life and consistent performance in machining and grinding applications across a wide range of materials. Engineered for the versatility of semiconductor equipment manufacturing, TRIM E715 excels in medium to high-duty operations, delivering superior results while minimizing downtime and costs.

After a two-month trial, the company was very satisfied with the results – not only had foam been greatly reduced in their machines, vastly improving the health and safety of the plant, but the company felt much more supported by Master Fluid Solutions^® than with their previous provider. They have now converted their entire facility to TRIM E715 and signed a one-year contract with their distributor to stock the fluid and secure long-term pricing so that they continue to reap the benefits of using E715 in their plant for the foreseeable future.
