ASTRO-CUT C
Heavy-duty biostable water soluble cutting and grinding fluid
ASTRO-CUT C is a heavy duty biostable soluble oil concentrate containing a chlorinated additive for difficult machining operations. This product was designed to be extended with water for the machining and grinding of virtually all metals except magnesium. ASTRO-CUT C is excellent on high silicon aluminum alloys.

Biostability:
BIOSTABILITY refers to the ability of a metalworking coolant to resist extreme biological degradation. This provides extremely long sump life in a properly maintained machine tool and diminishes the possibility of "Monday Morning Odor".
Applications:
Designed for use in metalworking applications such as all CNC milling, turning, drilling, tapping, and grinding. ASTRO-CUT C is also excellent on conventional machining processes and sawing applications.
Advantages:
- Eliminates Need for Tankside Additives
- Superior Tramp Oil Rejection
- Low Foaming
- Operator Friendly
- Mild, Pleasant Odor
- Excellent Lubricity
- Excellent Corrosion Inhibition
- Clean Running
- Excellent Hard Water Stability
- Provides Excellent Finish
- Reduced Overall Cost
- Long Lasting

When mixing coolant, it is best to use an automatic proportioner which accurately and thoroughly mixes coolant. Always replenish the coolant with a mixture of coolant and water, not just coolant or water. Never add coolant concentrate directly to the sump.
IMPORTANT! At concentrations below 4%, the biostability of this product may be compromised, leading to much shorter sump life. To insure maximum coolant life, sump should be thoroughly cleaned and neutralized using ASTRO-CLEAN A prior to charging machine with ASTRO-CUT C.
