NuSol Alumax 87 is formulated using a blend of unique preformed emulsions that possess a very small particle size, which demonstrate outstanding hydrodynamic lubrication for high-speed machining. This small particle size provides a very durable and uniform lubricant film, enhanced wetting and coverage, a very clean running fluid, and exceptional hard water stability for enhanced machining performance on non-ferrous and aluminum alloys. NuSol Alumax 87 preformed emulsions are further complemented with synthetic boundary lubricant agents, which offer enhanced wetting, film strength, and balanced lubrication. NuSol Alumax 87 also contains preformed chlorinated emulsion for additional lubrication demands.
- Benefits
- Resistant to 'Monday Morning Odors.' The biostable chemistry maintains the pH, eliminating objectionable odors
- Excellent corrosion protection for all tooling, equipment, and parts
- Exceptional lubricant film strength for good tool life and finish on all metals
- Extremely small particle size for superior wetting and coverage on all metals
- Excellent hard water stability
- High degree of cleanliness and a low VOC for operator acceptance
- Fortified with chlorine for extreme pressure lubrication and the toughest of machining operations
- Excellent rejection of process oils and system contaminants
- Low foaming
