Product description
Naftochem SYNKON APX 18 kg is a synthetic metalworking fluid concentrate for preparing a water-based cooling and lubricating solution, primarily for grinding and, thanks to its good lubricity, also for machining operations. When diluted with water it forms a transparent, stable solution with low foaming tendency, offering very good wetting and corrosion protection from a 3% concentration.
Advantages and unique features
- Synthetic concentrate with corrosion inhibitors and additives improving lubricity and anti-foam performance.
- Excellent wetting and easy washability.
- Low foaming tendency – stable coolant-system operation.
- Corrosion protection from a 3% working concentration.
- Hard-water resistant – suitable for preparing solutions with tap water hardness up to 40°N.
- Free from oils, nitrates, nitrites, chlorinated additives, boron compounds, and primary/secondary amines.
Properties and applications
- Application: cooling and lubricating fluid for grinding; can also be used for machining.
- Recommended concentration: 3–10%.
- Corrosion protection: from 3% concentration.
- Example application: grinding of steel balls in the bearing industry.
- Workpiece materials (rating): steel +++; stainless steel +++; cast iron +++; sintered carbide +++; copper +; aluminium +++.
- Aluminium compatibility: neutral towards EN-AW 1050, EN-AW 2017A, EN-AW 5083, EN-AW 7075 alloys.
