| | | |
| | | As with all cutting fluids, proper care and handling of ValCOOL products involves several important factors, including storage, mixing, bacteria control, tramp oil control, application to the cutting zone, and proper disposal. If you read and follow this list of care and handling recommendations, you will maximize the safety, life and usefulness of all your ValCOOL cutting fluids. | | |
| | | |
| | | • Store in clean sealable drums, clearly marked, protected from frost or sunlight, and preferably indoors. • Have adequate ventilation and fire extinguishers in the storage area. • Clean up spills with inert, mineral absorbent materials. • Keep strong oxidizing agents out of the storage area. • Do not use sawdust or oily cotton waste for spill control. | | |
| | | |
| | | ing Water-Dilutable Concentr | | |
| | | |
| | | • The oil concentrate must be added to the water. (Remember: OIL = Oil In Last) • Measure the water into a clean tank. • Measure the required volume of concentrate and gradually pour it into the water. • Keep mixing while pouring. • A slow speed mechanical agitation is preferred. | | |
| | | |
| | | Water Hardness | | |
| | | |
| | | • Water hardness is a measure of the amount of inorganic salts (calcium and
| |
| | | |
| | | magnesium) in the water. • Reacts with soaps to produce scum. • Reacts with cutting fluids to break down the emulsion. • Water treatment methods are advisable. | | | | | | | | | | Water Hardness Chart | | | | | PMiLPner | | | | | Soft | 0-50 | 0-3 | | | | Moderately Soft | 50-100 | 3-6 | | | | Slightly Hard | 100-150 | 6-9 | | | | Moderately Hard | 150-200 | 9-12 | | | | Hard | 200-300 | 12-18 | | | | Very Hard | Over 300 | Over 18 | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | |
| | | | | |
| | | |
| | | • Bacteria feed on the fatty components, corrosion inhibitors and other components of the emulsion, which causes a chemical change that makes the emulsion more acidic. • Foul sulfide odors are produced in the low oxygen emulsions. • To reduce bacteria growth, use an aerator, keep the sump clean, maintain proper concentration, remove surface or tramp oil, and add biocides. | | |
