Castrol Alusol B Semi Synthetic Metalworking Fluid

Description
Castrol Alusol™ B is a biostable, soluble oil for metalworking applications. It is formulated on a highly refined
mineral oil and to tailor Alusol B for aluminium machining we have blended in special fatty and synthetic lubricity
and antiweld additives. It forms a semi-translucent emulsion in both hard and soft waters.
Application
Alusol B has been developed specifically for the machining of aluminium and aluminium alloys. It is suitable for
all machining operations including grinding. Alusol B is particularly successful in the more arduous machining
tasks of reaming, tapping and broaching on the harder aluminium alloys.
Alusol B can also be used on ferrous metal and copper-based alloys. It is therefore ideal for machining
operations where aluminium and aluminium alloys are the main metals machined, but others are also processed
on the same equipment.
Advantages
• Special lubricity additives ensure excellent machining performance, particularly improved surface finish,
greater dimensional accuracy and longer tool life.
• Excellent resistance to bacterial and fungus provides extended coolant life and freedom from unpleasant
odour.
• Very stable emulsions ensure machining performance is maintained throughout coolant life, giving
consistent product quality and reduced risk of corrosion.
• Contains corrosion inhibitors to protect machines and components and reduce the need for interoperational dewatering and corrosion protection processes.
• Excellent wetting properties reduce drag-out and provide cleaner machine tools and components.
• Suitable for mixed metal machining – can be used for most metals and machining operations.
• Environmentally friendly – formulated without nitrites, phenols and chlorine.
• Disposal costs are contained as emulsions are readily split by conventional techniques.
• Operator-friendly – pleasant odour, non-irritant and minimal defatting action on skin.
