Tech Cool 35048BF Coolant

February 13, 2013

Chemetall introduces Tech Cool 35048BF, the Boron continues to see increased regulatory pressure in the United States and Europe, resulting in many corporations reducing or eliminating the substance from their chemical programs. Tech Cool 35048BF offers an improvement to the highly successful Tech Cool 35048 chemistry.

Tech Cool 35048BF is reportedly breakthrough technology where Chemetall's research team has been able to maintain all the critical performance parameters required of a premium coolant, and significantly improve the lubricity characteristics on aluminum. This is without the use of boron compounds, chlorine, sulfur or phosphorous. Tech Cool 35048BF is completely free of DCHA and formaldehyde donating compounds.

A key product in the very successful "platform" approach to coolant technology, Tech Cool 35048BF provides long sump life, low odors without the use of bactericides, reduced foam levels, exceptional corrosion resistance and high lubricity. Substrate staining, typically a challenge for metalworking fluids, has been eliminated with Tech Cool 35048BF, making it the ideal product for machining ferrous, aluminum, copper and brass substrates.

Consistent with the portfolio of Chemetall microemulsion coolants, Tech Cool 35048BF achieves a highly stable emulsion that rejects tramp oils and minimizes residues, greatly extending sump life and reducing coolant consumption rates. Outstanding lubricity extends tool life over conventional fluids reducing operating costs. Stable in hard water and compatible with recycling programs, Tech Cool 35048BF is designed for central systems and stand alone machines.

"The market place is more global in nature than ever before" states Ken Reindl, Business Manager for Metalworking at Chemetall. "Our customers are demanding to use the same premium chemistry throughout their operations. Tech Cool 35048BF provides the perfect balance of exceptional performance, ease of operation, worker acceptance and return on investment. Manufacturers can now make their parts faster and better, generate less waste and remain fully compliant."

Tech Cool 35048BF is available in pails, drums, totes and bulk deliveries.

Related Glossary Terms

  • 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.

  • corrosion resistance

    corrosion resistance

    Ability of an alloy or material to withstand rust and corrosion. These are properties fostered by nickel and chromium in alloys such as stainless steel.

  • emulsion

    emulsion

    Suspension of one liquid in another, such as oil in water.

  • lubricity

    lubricity

    Measure of the relative efficiency with which a cutting fluid or lubricant reduces friction between surfaces.

  • 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.
