TRI-X-100
is a water soluble machine coolant developed especially
for the metal working and machine tooling industry. It
is a superior coolant that extends tool life, permits
higher or increased speeds in machining operations.
TRI-X-100
is an amber, oil based compound with a pleasant
characteristic oil odor. |
Helps
Keep Metal Cool
It
keeps the metal being machined at a reasonable temperature which
prevents undue expansion. This is important where tolerances are
in the ten thousandths of an inch, since even the slightest
heating causes expansion and inaccurate machining. This product
prevents dry welding of chips by maintaining low temperatures.
You should notice a trace of smoke going down from the tool when
using TRI-X-100.
If the smoke goes up, it means the tool is hot and the coolant
is not performing satisfactorily. The coolant is working only
fair if the smokes hangs around the tool.
Provides
Excellent Lubricity
Contains a special oil giving the product enough lubricity to
reduce the forces in a machining operation, thereby cutting the
power consumption to a minimum. The excellent lubricity of this
product speeds up production work and helps the tool give a
high mirror finish. The excellent lubricity of
TRI-X-100
helps prevent dry welding of chips, and this means the chips
scraps bring more money for salvage because they are not burned.
Contains an enormous amount of special emulsifying agent so the
oil/water mix is complete and stable. The emulsifier prevents
the tiny oil droplets from rejoining into big drops. The
emulsifier also helps TRI-X-100
to have excellent disbursing properties. The disbursing
properties of this product keeps the small
chips,
which tend to cling together, from accumulating and congesting
the coolant system. It picks up the chips immediately as they
are formed and flushes them away from the cutting area.
Contains a unique inhibitor known as "phos-x" that imparts
outstanding rust proofing properties. It inhibits rust on parts
and machinery at concentrations as low as 1 part
TRI-X-100 to
75 parts water. "Phos-x" also adds to the EP qualities of this
product at the point where the cutting tool comes in contact
with the material being machined thus giving longer life and a
smoother finish. Also incorporated into
TRI-X-100 are
products to inhibit the breakdown of oil products when mixed
with water. This helps eliminate odors and bacteria growth. It
helps eliminate dermatitis from forming on workers hands because
they are not subjected to large amounts of bacteria.
Versatile
Suitable for machining a wide variety of metals in such
operations as turret lathes, drill presses, grinders, reamers,
broaches, milling machines, and saws.
TRI-X-100 is
mixed at
the rate
of 1 gallon per 20 to 30 gallons of water for most operations.
As always, the type of metal, the type of machining operation
and water hardness must be taken into consideration.
Economical
It is
economical to use. For example, it is used at one part
TRI-X-100 to
50 or 70 parts of water for grinding operations. Naturally, the
hardness of the water will influence how much
TRI-X-100 to
use. Soft water is always preferred.
For
good success the pump and lines of the entire coolant system
should be cleaned prior to the introduction of
TRI-X-100.
This is necessary to avoid a rancid
condition that may be present from the coolant previously used
in the system. The use of BIG RED - - a multi-purpose
concentrated cleaner - - is recommended for this cleaning. Use 4
- 6 oz. of BIG RED to each gallon of water. This removes the
tramp oils, scums, etc. Some mechanical cleaning may be
necessary. Rinse well with clear water containing a bleach to
ensure starting out fresh and clean. The amount of bleach should
be about 2 oz. per gallon. |
