Coolant concentrate
When machining metal, there is always a lot of friction and heat. However, friction and heat damage the tool. It wears out more quickly. With a suitable cooling lubricant, for example a coolant concentrate for a metal saw, the friction is reduced and the heat is dissipated. The service life of the tool is considerably extended. A coolant concentrate is particularly practical and economical to use. It can be diluted according to need and application to create the optimum drilling emulsion.
Frequently asked questions about coolant concentrate
Is a universal coolant concentrate suitable for all metals?
No, a universal coolant concentrate can be used for various metals, but they are not suitable for machining all metals. Especially for high-alloy materials such as stainless steel, special coolants or a special coolant concentrate for a metal saw must be used.
Is coolant concentrate diluted for use?
Yes, coolant concentrate mixing is required in different proportions depending on the intended use and type of coolant. For example, for use in turning, drilling and milling, in a ratio of 1 : 20 to 1 : 40 with water.
What can coolant concentrate be mixed and diluted with?
Our effective coolant concentrate is simply diluted with water. Depending on the application, the manufacturer's specifications for the ratio of the concentrate to water mixture should be observed.
What is an emulsion?
An emulsion is a mixture of two normally immiscible liquids. In an emulsion, microscopic droplets of one fluid float in the other fluid. In the case of a cooling lubricant, this is how the concentrate is distributed in diluents. These emulsions are also called drilling emulsions or drilling milks,
What is the function of a cooling lubricant?
A cooling lubricant performs two important functions in machining. The lubricant reduces the friction between the tool and the workpiece. The tool stays sharp longer. At the same time, the fluid transports heat away from the machining area. This also results in an extension of the tool life.
Do I have to protect myself when mixing coolant concentrate?
When mixing coolant concentrate, you should always wear gloves and protective goggles. Should concentrate nevertheless get into your eyes, it is best to rinse your eyes thoroughly with water using an eye wash and then consult a doctor.
