Select Series: Water Dilutable Cutting Fluid
Multi-Purpose Cutting and Grinding Fluid
Q-CUT 215 is a semi-synthetic coolant designed for light to moderate duty applications and is ideally suited for shops that predominantly machine aluminum alloys or that require a chlorine-free coolant. It can be used safely on most job shop materials. Q-CUT 215 is a "fighting grade" product and as such, is formulated to provide long lasting, trouble-free performance in a wide variety of applications. It has good sump life, good corrosion control, keeps machines clean and residue free, controls foam in high pressure applications, and is operator friendly.
Q-CUT 215 works well in a variety of water qualities, including hard water, soft water, and treated water. For best results and lowest consumption rates, we suggest the use of reverse osmosis (RO) water or deionized water (DI). Q-CUT 215 does not contain animal fats or derivatives, heavy metals, chlorinated or sulfurized EP additives, zinc, calcium, free boric acid, nitrites, diethanolamine, silicone, formaldehyde, MBM, PCBs, phthalates, dioxins, or PIP (3:1).
Q-CUT 215 is available in pails, drums, totes, and bulk. Consult with your local QualiChem Distributor or QualiChem Sales Engineer to discuss available water quality, application conditions, performance criteria, recommended dilutions, and machine cleaning procedures (if applicable). Refer to the Safety Data Sheet for additional physical and chemical properties, associated hazards, (if applicable), and procedures for safe handling and proper storage.
QualiChem suggests refractometers with a Brix scale of 0-10 or 0-20, or digital, and that can be calibrated. We use Atago Master 20T refractometers for most applications. Many brands and styles will work, including digital, if used properly and calibration is maintained.
Q-Cut 215 is a concentrate. When properly mixed with water, it forms a metalworking coolant. Always add concentrate to water if mixing by hand. For best results, use a proportioning device suited to volumes needed and available water pressure. Avoid using cold or hot water. Know your water quality, and treat as recommended.
