Applications
Shell Sitala CD 600 AP is a high quality cutting fluid giving, due to it’s very high lubricity, excellent results in even the most severe heavy duty machining on cast-iron, low- and high alloyed steels and aluminium alloys.
Performance Features and Benefits
- Excellent lubricity – assuring excellent tool life, increased surface finish and lower reject rate for the toughest machining operations
- Good detergency – resulting in clean
parts/machines and assisting in creating
a more pleasant working environment
- Good corrosion protection – resulting in
lower reject rate and decreasing maintenance
cost related to corrosion problems
- Low foam – guaranteeing problem free
working operations and allowing high pump
pressures/flow rates even in soft water
- Excellent stability –extending sump life and ensuring low disposal costs
- Environmental compliance – free of
secondary amines, phenol and nitrite
Recommended Concentrations
The concentration varies depending on the type of machining operation, the water hardness and the required inter-operational corrosion protection. The
recommended concentration for use in a medium water hardness are :
- General machining : 5 – 8 %
- Heavy duty machining : 8 – 12%
Storage
The product should be stored inside (5-40°C) for no more than 1 year and be protected from freezing.
Health & Safety
Please note that mixed coolants work over long periods of time, therefore chemical contamination (hydraulic oils, greases, metal solutions, paints, rust inhibitors, etc..) or bacterial contamination (from dirty hands, work pieces, industrial grade water, sundry waste, etc...) can often occur. Contamination with the above materials should be minimised or ideally eliminated. Regular monitoring of the in-use product is recommended to maintain optimum product condition and determine the end of its useful working life.
Protect the environment
Waste must be disposed of in accordance with local legislation.
