// Sector Directory / 5 Verticals

Built for the Most Demanding Sectors.

Each sector imposes its own constraints — alloy mix, audit regime, paperwork standard. We carry product, documentation and engineering tuned to all five.

SECTOR 01

Aerospace

STANDARD // AS9100 SUPPLY CHAIN

Tight tolerance machining of titanium, nickel-base superalloys and aluminium structures. We supply fluids whose contamination control matches the airframes they cut.

ProcessRecommended FluidRisk Profile
Ti-6Al-4V MillingSynthetic, low-foamLow
Inconel 718 TurningHigh-EP semi-syntheticMedium
Aluminium StructuresBoron-free emulsionLow
Composite Edge-TrimMist-suppression neatMedium
SECTOR 02

Medical Devices

STANDARD // ISO 13485 ENVIRONMENTS

Implant and instrument manufacture. Surface integrity, residue control and biocompatibility carry through to the finishing line — fluid choice shapes downstream cleanability.

SECTOR 03

Motorsport

STANDARD // PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING

Short series, exotic alloys, fast turnaround. We carry stock — and we move fast — so a Friday spec change ships Monday morning, regardless of postcode.

SECTOR 04

Defence

STANDARD // SUB-CONTRACT MACHINING

Documented supply, traceable lots, and discretion across the whole supply chain. Fluids matched to MoD-tier alloys, with paperwork suitable for the audit regime above.

SECTOR 05

Precision CNC

STANDARD // GENERAL MACHINING

Mixed-alloy job shops where one fluid has to perform across a wide envelope. We specify universal coolants that don't compromise on the difficult metals you also run.
