SilkShield³ is a purpose-built cutting fluid developed specifically for machining titanium and cobalt chrome alloys. It has been formulated to deliver superior lubrication, extended tool life and stable machining performance in high-load dental and precision milling environments.
At its core, SilkShield³ is a high-viscosity synthetic cutting oil. It forms a durable lubricating film at the cutting interface, reducing friction and maintaining stability under the high temperatures and pressures generated when machining hard metal alloys. This helps prevent tool wear, edge breakdown and thermal damage during machining.
The formulation actively supports tool longevity. By maintaining a consistent lubricating barrier between the tool and the workpiece, SilkShield³ reduces mechanical stress on burs and cutting tools, helping them stay sharper for longer and ensuring predictable cutting performance across extended machining cycles.
SilkShield³ is also engineered to protect both the machining system and the workpiece. The synthetic base provides excellent adhesion to surfaces, reducing metal-to-metal contact while helping to minimise built-up edge and material welding on cutting tools. At the same time, it protects internal components from wear and corrosion, supporting long-term system reliability.
The result is a cutting fluid that delivers stable, controlled machining of difficult alloys while protecting both the restoration and the equipment producing it.
