Master Chemical applies low foam formulation to economical Trim SC412

While less expensive than the Master Chemical SC415, Trim SC412 is nevertheless described as a high quality metalworking fluid that provides excellent rust protection and eliminates build-up of graphite residue. The clean running formulation also prevents the loading of grinding wheels, ensuring good surface finish and minimal burning. In addition to machining and grinding, Trim SC412 can be used for turning, drilling and tapping applications. Extremely hard water tolerant, it contains no DEA, chlorine, nitrites or phenolic compounds. Pre-commercialisation trials carried out over a year at three European sites, including one in the UK, confirmed the product's bio-stability, low foam profile, corrosion protection, machine cleanliness and operator acceptance, says Master Chemical. Trim SC412 was used to grind steel bearings and to turn and machine cast iron automotive components. The cutting and grinding fluid concentrate was trialled on individual machines and production lines fed by central systems and proved to be highly effective in both.
