Mineral-based cutting lubricant for alloys

Multan 97-10D is an advanced mineral-oil-based cutting lubricant, specially designed for aluminium and ferrous metal machining.

Multan 97-10D is an advanced mineral-oil-based cutting lubricant, specially designed for aluminium and ferrous metal machining.

The new lubricant has been developed especially for ease of machining and to prevent discolouration of aluminium alloys.

Its surface-friendly properties make it suitable for reaming, tapping, thread milling, drilling, circular and plain grinding plus other forming operations across an extensive selection of materials.

Improved surface finishing means it can be used with all aluminium alloys and nonferrous metals, high alloy steel, construction and HS-steel, and cast iron.

Multan 97-10 D is a water-miscible cutting fluid free from boron, sulphur and phosphorous.

Its patented emulsifier system offers users a high level of bacterial stability through the use of top quality raw materials.

The emulsion is finely dispersed during forming operations ensuring that it runs off the machined parts quickly due to the low drag-out rate.

However, a higher concentration may be required during metal forming.

Measuring equipment, tool holders and machine tools remain free from any sticky deposits.

To achieve much higher economy than traditional cutting lubricants, Henkel has designed Multan to provide significantly lower fill and top-up concentrations: typically 5-8% fill, 0.5-1.5% top-up.

Low foaming is another benefit for users particularly in very soft water areas.

However, where DI water is used a variant of the product, Multan 97-10, is recommended.

The use of Multan 97-10D is particularly valid in the aerospace and automotive industries or where surface quality, extended tool life and economy are required.
