Mixing & use

Maintain a working fluid refractometer reading of 5-10. Readings below 5 can promote bacterial growth and fluid deterioration; readings above 10 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.
