Applications

CIMTECH 46C can also be used to machine and grind cemented carbide, cast iron, nodular iron, carbon steels and tool steels. It should not be used on magnesium alloys or non-ferrous materials.

Concentration

BCG Titration, Total Alkalinity or Refractometer can be used.
The Refractometer Factor is 1.9. Multiply the scale reading obtained on your CIMCOOL® Refractometer by this factor to obtain the mix concentration in percent. Calibrate the refractometer so that it reads 0.0 with water before testing the sample mix. Remove gross contaminants from the sample mixes before testing. A refractometer is only recommended for use in checking the concentration on a fresh charge.

Technical Details & Test Data

Recommended Starting Dilutions

CIMTECH 46C is to be mixed with water for use. Always add concentrate to water. Fluid may be more difficult to mix when water temperature is below 55°F (13°C). Add no other materials to the concentrate or mix unless approved by your CIMCOOL® Territory Manager.
Grinding 5% - 10% (1:20 to 1:10)
Machining 5% - 10% (1:20 to 1:10)
