Short Description
Water-miscible semi-synthetic concentrate of lubricating and cooling fluid. BASE201 is designed for grinding cast iron, steels, and certain aluminum alloys. It can be also used for light duty and medium cutting operations incl. band saws, lathes, and milling machines.
Composition Features
- Does not contain boric acid
- Does not contain formaldehyde
- Contains secondary amines (DCHA)
Product Properties / Advantages
- Stable mixing of the emulsion with water hardness from 5° to 30° dH; During operation (accumulation of salts), an increase in water hardness up to 60°dH is allowed
- High corrosion protection characteristics
- Good washability (clean equipment)
Technical Data
- Kinematic viscosity of the concentrate at 20°C, mm2/s – 460
- ≈Mineral oil content, % - 20%
- pH of fresh 5% emulsion: 10,4*
- Corrosion protection DIN 51360/2 - 4% - corrosion degree 0
- Refractometer factor, %/°Brix - 1.6
Recommendations / Features
- To prepare a high-quality finely dispersed emulsion, it is recommended to use the automatic mixer device
- For manual preparation, it is recommended to slowly add the concentrate to the water (not water to the concentrate), mixing evenly
- The recommended concentration depends on the cutting operations and the material being processed. Grinding: 4–6% | Turning and milling operations: 7–10% (steel, cast iron) / 8-12% (aluminum)
- The concentration of the working emulsion is measured by a manual ( LQ20T ) or electronic refractometer. To do this, the read value is multiplied by the refractometer factor of 1.6
- EASYCUT BASE201 coolant can be used for processing of aluminum alloys. However, the tendency of such alloys to form spots (darkening) should be checked in advance
Shelf life / Storage conditions
- Stable for 12 months when stored at a temperature of 5 °C to 40 °C in unopened containers.
Comments
- Minor variations in color and appearance are possible due to the raw materials chosen. However, these have no influences on the functionality of the product
- All information on safe and proper handling can be found on the MSDS
DESIGNED IN GERMANY
* The increased pH in the fresh emulsion may cause a temporary strong odor and temporary darkening on aluminum alloys in the first 1-3 days of operation. Afterwards the pH should drop to normal values of 9–9.5
