Details
Hi-Tec Oils Solcut QLB2 Soluble Cutting Fluid is a semi-synthetic, biostable coolant for machining and grinding, from brass and aluminium transfer systems to steel machining in single-sump machines.
Key Features
- Visible machining area: Forms transparent emulsions that can become semi-translucent in hard water.
- Clean-running detergency: Combines synthetic-fluid cleanliness with lubrication without associated sticky residues.
- Metal protection: Non-staining to aluminium, with ferrous corrosion protection and improved sump cleanliness.
- Tramp-oil separation: Under normal conditions, the manufacturer reports 90% of tramp oil can float out during a weekend shutdown, allowing removal to help extend sump life.
- Effluent treatment: Emulsions can be split using conventional effluent-treatment techniques.
Before You Buy
- Select concentration for the job: general working range 2–5%, grinding 2%, and other machining typically 3–4%. The manufacturer reports application results at 6% for brass and 10% for aluminium; these are application-specific results, not universal settings.
- Compatible with most commonly used hose and seal polymers; obtain material-specific advice where needed. Remove separated tramp oil to help maintain coolant life.
- For long-term storage, keep tightly closed in a dry, ventilated area at 0–40°C. The manufacturer states at least six months under these conditions. Follow the label and linked Safety Data Sheet for safe handling and disposal.
In the Box
- 1 × container of Solcut QLB2 concentrate in the selected 20 L or 205 L size.
