TRIM C380 is a premium, synthetic, metalworking fluid optimized for high-tech ferrous materials including stainless steel and Inconel® which are widely used in aerospace, medical, and the electronics industries. C380 uses the best of the new ester technology to yield a very-high performance metal removal fluid that is easy-to-use and maintain. The combination of the proven synthetic ester technology and nonhalogenated EP package produce very high levels of usable lubricity at the point of cut. C380 utilizes unique low-foam detergents to keep process soils from redepositing on machines and parts.

Additional Information

 N/A
  • Verify compatibility with specific nonferrous alloys before use.
  • A higher concentration of C380 increases boundary lubrication.
  • Operates with very low foam at working temperatures above 80°F.
  • Maintaining concentration from 7.5%-10% provides the best sump life and corrosion inhibition.
  • C380 should not be used on magnesium or other reactive metals without special precautions.
