Product & Safety Datasheets

Overview

ASTROSOL CF is a heavy duty soluble oil concentrate free of chlorine but containing vegetable-based lubricity additives for difficult machining operations. ASTROSOL CF is designed to be extended with water for the machining and grinding of virtually all metals. ASTROSOL CF is particularly effective on aluminum alloys. This product uses a unique emulsifier technology which gives excellent corrosion and stain protection and is resistant to water hardness up to 1000 ppm.

Applications

ASTROSOL CF is designed for use in heavy duty metal removal, deep hole drilling, tapping and threading, as well as all conventional machining processes and sawing. Advantages

When mixing coolant, it is best to use an automatic proportioner which accurately and thoroughly mixes coolant. To maintain recommended concentration, make-up or top-off should be added at one-half of the desired concentration. Never add concentrate directly to the machine; this could cause inverted emulsions.
