TRIM SC520 is a low-odor, value-priced semisynthetic. SC520 is a general-purpose, cutting and grinding fluid concentrate for the multi-material, multi-operational shop. SC520 uses a proven EP-additive package to control built-up edge, improve tool life, and has the wetting and cooling characteristics necessary for superior machining results on high-speed milling and turning operations. It also controls chip welding on soft, gummy materials like aluminum.

Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

 N/A
  • Good sump life in "stand-alone" machines
  • Low odor and mist
  • Effective in most grinding, sawing, drilling, and CNC turning and milling operations by varying concentrations
  • Provides sufficient lubricity to do down-the-hole operations in aluminum, cast iron, and most steels, including many stainless steels
  • Compatible with a very wide range of materials including cast iron, steels, copper, and aluminum alloys, as well as, most plastics and composites
  • Low-to-moderate foam with normal "flood" coolant application
  • Rejects tramp oils rapidly for easy recycling with good sump life
  • Easily recycled or disposed of using conventional techniques and equipment
  • Free of: copper, NPEs, phenolic compounds, phenols, and triazine

Additional Information

Additional Information

 N/A
  • SC520 is a superior product for surface and cylindrical grinding as well as through feed centerless grinding.
  • High-torque operations or operations on soft material often benefit from higher concentrations.
  • Concentrations in excess of 7% typically offer the best sump life and tool life. However, the optimum concentration for your operations is best determined by on-site testing.
  • The minimum recommended concentration is 5% on cast iron and 4% on steel.
  • Not recommended on materials that chemically react with water (i.e., magnesium and zirconium).
