Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

 N/A
  • Does an excellent job in most glass, ceramic, and composite grinding applications
  • Excellent corrosion inhibition on most common ferrous and nonferrous alloys
  • Extremely low carryoff keeps operating costs down
  • Low foam and mist
  • Very low initial odor level which usually disappears after one-to-two days
  • Keeps your machines clean while leaving a soft, fluid film that protects bare metal parts
  • Exceptional sump life and very good tramp oil rejection
  • Free of: chlorinated EP additives, nitrites, NPEs, phosphourous, siloxane, and sulfurized EP additives

Additional Information

Additional Information

 N/A
  • C118 is not recommended in machine tools that rely on coolant splash to lubricate the mechanical portions of the machine tool; e.g., older screw machines, etc.
  • Foam may increase if the temperature is below 80°F (27°C) at the point of agitation.
  • C118 is not recommended on materials (i.e., magnesium or zirconium) without special precautions.
  • This product is a superior cleaning agent so it may "wash out" dirt and residues when a machine is first charged; a thorough cleaning of older machines is required when installing this product for the first time.
  • The minimum recommended concentration is 5% on cast iron, 4% on steel, and 5% in glass grinding.
  • Concentrations above 7.5% provide the best corrosion inhibition, tool life, and sump life; however, on-site testing is usually the best way to set your concentration.
