Tests show that Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB can remain effective for longer than conventional machining fluids, because the formulation is inherently more resistant to changes in pH due to microbiological activity. It can reduce the time and cost associated with additional top ups helping you to meet production goals. In laboratory testing Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB has been shown to be able to neutralise up to 33% more acidic material than standard aluminium cutting fluids. This means it remains effective for longer.1 PROVEN BENEFITS Example one A European customer, producing profiles for the...
