KoolRite 2290MAX

May 01, 2011

A unique new mircoemulsion coolant for heavy duty/severe machining has been announced by its manufacturer, JTM Products Inc. KoolRite 2290MAX is a high performance new generation metalworking coolant, specially formulated for tough aerospace alloys, where high finish is important. The coolant has excellent performance on high removal machining where speeds and feeds are pushed to the limit, without the use of chlorine or sulphur machining additives.

KoolRite 2290MAX coolant can be used with all metals, but it has been specifically enhanced to improve machining performance and tool life on aluminum alloys, titanium, tool steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, high Ni steel and exotic alloys. KoolRite 2290MAX is formulated with JTM BioArmor Technology, making it highly resistant to bacterial growth without the use of bactericides or DCHA. It yields extremely long sump life, eliminating the stench associated with most coolants to provide a clean, comfortable environment for operators.

KoolRite 2290MAX will reject tramp, allowing clean coolant to be delivered to the chip/tool interface. Machine tools are kept clean with a minimum of residual film to provide excellent corrosion control.

Related Glossary Terms

  • alloys

    alloys

    Substances having metallic properties and being composed of two or more chemical elements of which at least one is a metal.

  • aluminum alloys

    aluminum alloys

    Aluminum containing specified quantities of alloying elements added to obtain the necessary mechanical and physical properties. Aluminum alloys are divided into two categories: wrought compositions and casting compositions. Some compositions may contain up to 10 alloying elements, but only one or two are the main alloying elements, such as copper, manganese, silicon, magnesium, zinc or tin.

  • coolant

    coolant

    Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.

  • metalworking

    metalworking

    Any manufacturing process in which metal is processed or machined such that the workpiece is given a new shape. Broadly defined, the term includes processes such as design and layout, heat-treating, material handling and inspection.
