New generation cutting fluid is ideal for crankshafts

This new concentrate, Trim C274, demonstrates how the company is now achieving greater bio-stability from its formaldehyde donor and boron-free technology as well as adding new capabilities.

The new product is part of the Trim C270 family of high performance synthetic cutting and grinding fluids that have become the preferred choice of many manufacturers worldwide. Trim C274 is ideal where high coolant velocities or volumes are necessary to achieve maximum productivity.

A key characteristic of the new formulation is extremely low foam, making it particularly suited to high flowing grinding applications, typically found in the production of cam and crankshafts for agricultural and commercial vehicles. It is designed to have the superior cooling and chip setting characteristics of a premium synthetic product with the improved residues and the mechanical lubricity of a semi-synthetic.

Trim C274 is an excellent choice for ferrous and exotic steel alloys. It also protects machine and tool surfaces while preventing sticky ways, chucks, toolholders and fixtures.

Notably, it requires no additives to control bacteria growth, a benefit that became clear to a European manufacturer of crankshafts during initial product trials. It used the fluid in a large central system and even after one year, the company confirmed no deterioration in bio-stability.
