Sunnen Launches MB-30LO Honing Oil: A New Era in Precision Metalworking

Sunnen Products Company sets a new benchmark for metalworking and aerospace-grade honing with the introduction of the MB-30LO Honing Oil. Engineered for both general machining and critical aerospace applications, MB-30LO brings together cutting-edge reformulation from the original MB-30 and comprehensive safety for demanding manufacturing environments. Its low-odor, ultra-low VOC profile ensures improved air quality and operator comfort, while meeting the strictest environmental standards with full ASTM1868-10 and SCAQMD compliance. The absence of hazardous classification under OSHA streamlines handling and lifts workplace safety standards even further. Beyond its impressive safety credentials, MB-30LO is a true workhorse for high-precision machining. The oil supports a wide array of processes, including drilling, tapping, reaming, screw machining, and honing, all with optimal lubrication due to its 26cSt viscosity at 40°C. Its distinctive dark brown-amber color allows easy identification, and a high flash point above 110°C reduces fire risk in demanding industrial settings. The specific gravity of 0.92 at 60°F ensures compatibility across systems, and a five-year shelf life guarantees long-term reliability for manufacturers. Transitioning to MB-30LO is effortless. It is designed for seamless drop-in compatibility with current Sunnen oils such as MB-30, LT9X, SHO965, and LP8X. Machine top-offs require no complete flush, making upgrades simple and cost-effective. Sunnen’s advanced formula also reduces the presence of odor-causing ingredients, supporting superior workplace environments that prioritize employee comfort and product safety. For those looking to achieve post-honing cleanliness, MB-30LO pairs perfectly with aqueous detergent washes, ensuring that every part meets the highest standards before leaving the facility. Proudly made in the USA, Sunnen’s MB-30LO Honing Oil stands as a testament to the company’s commitment to quality, innovation, and reliability. Manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, energy, hydraulics, medical, and beyond can depend on MB-30LO to deliver long-term performance and unmatched process versatility, continuing Sunnen’s legacy as a leader in precision metalworking solutions.
