Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CRC LUB 21 is a semi synthetic cutting fluid for rectification and cutting operations on all kinds of metal parts (steel, copper, stainless steel, etc…).
This cutting fluid provides a significant extension of the life time of the cutting tool and gives a superb anti corrosion coating to the machined parts. The cuttings are evacuated easily.
Compared to traditional fluids, CRC LUB 21 has a considerable extended life time.
- Fast decantation of the cuttings, maintaining a clean lubricating fluid and an elevated cutting
- Transparent solution in order not to disturb a clear view on the machining
- The cutting fluid contains excellent surfactants, which provide well maintained tools and fast cutting speeds.
- Easy to clean at low temperatures with the CRC
- Does not contain nitrites or heavy
- CRC Lub 21 is slightly
APPLICATIONS
Suitable for all current cutting operations and machining of average difficulty.
