Product Description
TRIM® SC520 is a low-odor, value-priced semisynthetic. SC520 is a general-purpose, cutting and grinding fluid concentrate for the multi-material, multi-operational shop. SC520 uses a proven EP-additive package to control built-up edge, improve tool life, and has the wetting and cooling characteristics necessary for superior machining results on high-speed milling and turning operations. It also controls chip welding on soft, gummy materials like aluminum.
- Good sump life in "stand-alone" machines
- Low odor and mist
- Effective in most grinding, sawing, drilling, and CNC turning and milling operations by varying concentrations
- Provides sufficient lubricity to do down-the-hole operations in aluminum, cast iron, and most steels, including many stainless steels
- Compatible with a very wide range of materials including cast iron, steels, copper, and aluminum alloys, as well as, most plastics and composites
- Low-to-moderate foam with normal "flood" coolant application
- Rejects tramp oils rapidly for easy recycling with good sump life
- Easily recycled or disposed of using conventional techniques and equipment
SC520 especially for:
Applications — band sawing, belt grinding, cutting, cylindrical grinding, deep hole drilling, double disc grinding, drilling, form cylindrical grinding, grinding, high-speed milling, highspeed turning, internal grinding, milling, reaming, roll threading, surface grinding, surface milling, tapping, thread forming, and through-feed centerless grinding
Metals — aerospace aluminum alloys, aluminum, aluminum alloys, cast aluminum, cast iron, copper alloys, exotic alloys, highcarbon steel, nonferrous metals, plastics, stainless steels, steels, tool steels, and wrought aluminum Industries — job shop
SC520 is free of — copper, NPEs, phenolic compounds, phenols, and triazine
Application Guidelines
- SC520 is a superior product for surface and cylindrical grinding as well as through feed centerless grinding.
- High-torque operations or operations on soft material often benefit from higher concentrations.
- Concentrations in excess of 7% typically offer the best sump life and tool life. However, the optimum concentration for your operations is best determined by on-site testing.
- The minimum recommended concentration is 5% on cast iron and 4% on steel.
- Not recommended on materials that chemically react with water (i.e., magnesium and zirconium).
- For additional product application information, including performance optimization, please contact your Master Fluid Solutions' Authorized Distributor
Mixing Instructions
- Recommended usage concentration in water: 4.0% - 10.0%.
- To help ensure the best possible working solution, add the required amount of concentrate to the required amount of water (never the reverse) and stir until uniformly mixed.
- Use premixed coolant as makeup to improve coolant performance and reduce coolant purchases. The makeup you select should balance the water evaporation rate with the coolant carryout rate. Use our Coolant Makeup Calculator to find the best ratio for your machine: apps.masterfluidsolutions.com/makeup/.
- Use mineral-free water to improve sump life and corrosion inhibition while reducing carryoff and concentrate usage.
