Marked increase in productivity of machining processes
By using CO as a process coolant, the cost-efficiency of machining can be significantly improved. With

other things, it increases productivity by around a third when machining workpieces made from PEEK
and aluminum. A further advantage is that components and machines stay much cleaner.
