The new product, Ultracut 370 EP, which launches this month, has been specially formulated for use on a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its ‘two in one’ benefits enable users to select a single fluid for cutting and grinding operations, taking away the complications associated with having two separate fluids onsite.
Ian Fenney, Rocol Metalworking Fluids segment specialist commented: “This product has been developed with our customers’ requirements at the forefront of our thinking. It eliminates the need for multiple barrels of fluid in the factory, delivers excellent value, and is suitable for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including aluminium.
In addition, Ultracut 370 has been formulated to be low foaming. Given the increased use of high pressure through coolant in modern day CNC machines, this is a much needed bonus.
As well as its cutting and grinding capabilities, Ultracut 370 EP can be used in high dilution ratios, promoting better value for money: “For cutting processes, dilution ratios are between 40:1 and 60:1, and in grinding processes they are between 50:1 and 75:1. This promotes increased value for money, with a single barrel providing up to 15,200 litres of fluid,” Mr Fenney added.
“As is the case for many businesses, we wanted to show our support to the NHS and the amazing work that people working in the health service have done during the Covid-19 pandemic. As Ultracut 370 EP is bright blue when diluted, it seemed fitting to donate a percentage of each barrel we sell for the rest of 2020 to NHS Charities Together.”
Compatible with both hard and soft water, the product is free from bactericides, chlorine, formaldehyde, nitrites, silicone and any animal derived materials. Ultracut 370 EP has been designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible, with no environmental hazards according to Classification Labelling and packaging convention (CLP).
