Composition / Features

• Contains low amounts of mineral oil but is mostly synthetic additives.
• Free of nitrites, chlorine, and phenols, which makes it safer / less corrosive / less environmentally troublesome.
• Forms a stable, fine, translucent emulsion when mixed with water.

Recommended Usage / Concentrations

• For general machining (drilling, milling, tapping, boring, turning, reaming): 4-7% dilution in water. 
• For more difficult machining operations: 7-12% dilution. 
• For grinding operations: 3-4% dilution.

Benefits

• Low foaming, even when using soft water. 
• Very good protection against corrosion. 
• It rejects tramp oil (i.e. helps oil contaminants float so they can be skimmed off).
• Good lubricity and cleaning / flushing ability. 
• Stable in hard water up to about 1000 ppm CaCO₃. 
• Longer tool life, less frequent top-up, less odour, lower irritation. 

Considerations / Monitoring

• pH should be monitored: one test found pH stable between ~9.0-9.3 with 5-7% mix. 
• Regular checking for tramp oil / contaminants is important to preserve performance.
• Concentration must be kept correct (too low → reduced cooling / lubrication; too high → waste / potential residue issues).
