Master's new high performance coolant
Keyword: Coolants
Changes in machine tool design, the introduction of new materials, high speed and high performance processes have all put new demands on coolants. Not only does the latest addition to Master Chemicals' TRIM range meet these new requirements but, as UK trials suggest, its cutting performance and extended sump life exceed those of its competitors. TRIM E206 has also proved to have very good tramp oil rejection and is extremely stable.
TRIM E206 has been developed from TRIM Sol, which for many years has been the industry standard for general-purpose machining. The new coolant contains a proven and highly effective extreme pressure additive to control edge build-up. It has a very broad application range, including surface and centreless grinding, heavy duty broaching and gear bobbing. In some applications it can also be used as a direct replacement for straight oil.
TRIM E206 is formulated for use with ferrous and non-ferrous materials and also the growing number of exotic alloys widely used in the aerospace industry. It is multi-metal compatible and is therefore ideal for use by subcontractors whose materials and application requirements are continually changing.
This product is proving to be a phenomenal success in the USA where it was launched last year, and early indications signify a similar response from UK users. Trials at a UK company producing fixings for shipping containers have shown an improvement in tool life and surface finish by using TRIM E206 instead of a heavy duty soluble oil product. An improvement in machine cleanliness was another notable benefit.
A performance engine manufacturer, machining aluminium and stainless steel ancillary engine components, has also seen vast improvements in tool life and surface finish since switching from a soluble oil coolant to TRIM E206 in a CNC lathe.
It's a similar result, too, at a vacuum pump manufacturer who reports significant tool life improvements in the drilling and tapping of aluminium components with coolant pressures at 40 bar.
