Performance Benefits
  • Excellent bio resistance provides a long sump life and with no supplemental additives
  • Constant emulsion particle size provides a long fluid life in both individual sumps and central systems and minimizes drag out
  • Extreme pressure additives extend tool life and improve finishes.
  • Low foaming in all water conditions
  • Excellent machining performance on aluminum alloys in difficult operation such as roll form tapping, Mapal reaming, gun drilling, and deep hole boring.
  • Excellent wetting properties reduce fluid drag-out and deliver clean machine tools and components
  • Low maintenance fluid minimizes hassles such as frequent additive additions
