MASTER CHEMICAL EXPANDS ITS BORON AND FORMALDEHYDE FREE PRODUCT FAMILY

TRIM® MicroSol® semi-synthetic coolants from Master Chemical are known for their high mechanical lubricity and ability to optimise production costs through higher cutting quality, longer tool life and long sump life. Now there is another highly cost-effective addition to this family whose advanced formulation means that it is free from boron, formaldehyde and all aggressive biocides.   

Developed by Master Chemical Europe in the UK to meet the needs of European manufacturers, TRIM® MicroSol® 519 is based on the chemistry of TRIM® MicroSol® 690XT, a premium product that has enabled aerospace manufacturers, in particular, to achieve higher productivity and compatibility across a range of manufacturing materials.  

TRIM® MicroSol® 519 is effectively its general purpose counterpart which has been introduced at the request of customers requiring a medium to high performance coolant that provides full compliance with the strictest health and safety guidelines.  It provides medium to high levels of lubrication without the need for chlorinated or sulphurised extreme pressure additives.

This latest addition to Master Chemical’s growing stable of boron- and formaldehyde free products is particularly well suited to machining and grinding cast iron.  It also does very well in mixed metal production thanks to its compatibility with all steels, aluminium alloys and yellow metals.

Good corrosion inhibition on all ferrous and non-ferrous metals and exceptional hard water tolerance are further benefits of this product.

A German automotive manufacturer was one of the first manufacturers to adopt TRIM® MicroSol® 519 after trialling it on a milling application on tool steel for six months.  The product was directly compared with two competitive products and was not only found to be much more biostable but also considerably more cost effective. Indeed, the machines consumed 50% less of TRIM® MicroSol® 519 than the alternatives.
