Overview
Neat metal cutting oils are offered for application in numerous metal removal operations, including
general lathe work, milling, honing, drilling, tapping and pipe threading.
Due to its balanced additive selection IRDM can be used in a wide variety of metal cutting operations. As
the product contains active sulphur to promote extended tool life and improve surface finish on ferrous
metals, it cannot be considered for use on non-ferrous materials
as some staining may be experienced. In situations where workpieces are reworked or undergo
finishing operations this may not be a consideration. This type of product is widely excepted due to its
versatility and excellent all-round performance.
As with all metal working fluids, good housekeeping and system maintenance are important to ensure
the satisfactory working life of the product.
This product advantages may be discussed as follows:
1) Higher speeds and feeds may be used.
2) Extended tool life.
3) Excellent surface finish.
4) Versatile in many applications.
5) Low misting and smoking potential.
6) Good filterability.
7) Low odour.
