Superbly cleaned machines and minimal residue ... both from a new, synthetic metalworking fluid

Keyword: Metalworking fluids

Gone are the days when synthetic fluids meant sticky/crystalline residues and low performance. Master Chemical's latest synthetic metalworking fluid ­ TRIM VHP C340A ­ promises unmatched machine cleanliness and low residue. All it leaves is a thin and fluid oil-like film that protects both machine and parts. It also has all the machining qualities traditionally associated with an oil-soluble product. Minimal foam while maintaining maximum cooling efficiency and tool life make the TRIM VHP C340A metalworking fluid a universal choice for a wide range of production processes, including high pressure applications such as creep feed grinding (see Plate 2). Low foam also provides the operator with high visibility of the production process.

TRIM VHP C340A contains high levels of lubricity but no chlorine or sulphur extreme pressure additives. Its low odour and comparatively safe composition makes it readily acceptable to operators. Good sump life, tramp-oil rejection and bio-resistance are further qualities. The fluid is also easily filtered and recycled. This new TRIM synthetic fluid is suitable for both ferrous metals and exotic alloys. Prior to its launch, it underwent extensive testing at 24 production sites and delivered consistently good results when used for cutting, milling, drilling, tapping, turning, reaming and high-pressure grinding. Types of materials used in the tests included cast iron, steel, ductile iron, aluminium and powered metals.
