High-Lubricity Semi-Synthetic Fluid for Medium- to Heavy-Duty Machining

BY680

Semi-Synthetic Cutting Fluid

BY680 is a high-lubricity semi-synthetic cutting fluid for medium- to heavy-duty machining of aluminum alloys and stainless steels. It provides resistance to bacterial growth, good tapping performance and foam control for high-load CNC machining in machines with individual sumps.

Mixing & use

Maintain a working fluid refractometer reading of 7-18. Readings below 7 can promote bacterial growth and fluid deterioration; readings above 18 may increase skin irritation.

Formulation

Base oil, rust inhibitor, emulsifier, lubricant, extreme-pressure additive, high-performance corrosion inhibitor, auxiliary additives, biocide and deionized water. The formulation contains no nitrite ions, hexavalent chromium ions, sodium nitrite or phenol.

Use & handling

Gradual color darkening during storage is normal and does not affect use. The high-molecular-weight siloxane foam-control component may settle during prolonged storage; this does not affect use. Do not mix with other oils.
