Aquatex®3380

Aquatex®3380

Aquatex®3380 is a general purpose soluble oil specifically formulated for extra lubricity. • Aquatex®3380 contains selected base oils, emulsifiers and coupling agents. • Aquatex®3380 exhibits high levels of detergency, low foaming tendencies, and contains a biocide to combat a wide spectrum of microorganisms commonly found in sumps and reservoirs.

typical characteristics

• Aquatex 3380 forms a milky white emulsion when mixed with water. • Always add oil to water (not water to oil). • For use in water with total hardness up to 300 mg/L. • Refractometer factor is 1.1 (i.e., a refractometer reading of 1°Brix represents an emulsion strength of 1.1%).

Product specifications

recommended uses

Wide variety of machining operations on non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, where extra lubricity is required • Machining of ferrous alloys where surface finish of the part is of critical importance • Drilling, forming, planing, milling, sawing and turning operations on a variety of carbon and alloy steels ranging from soft to medium hardness, particularly where carbide tip tooling is being used • Grinding of aluminium and its alloys. Water-containing metalworking fluids such as soluble oil emulsions should never be used for machining operations on magnesium or magnesium-containing alloys as a fire or explosion hazard may exist. The recommended product for machining these metals is Almag Oil.

performance benefits

More efficient general machining

Extra lubricity minimizes friction between the tool and workpiece, facilitating machining at increased production rates. The low foaming tendency is an advantage in high speed operations. The high level of detergency prevents loading of grinding wheels with grit and metal fines, and also in flushing and settling of chips.

Improved precision and surface finish

Excellent cooling and higher lubricity properties of the emulsion allow for effective heat transfer from the cutting zone and reduced friction between the tool and workpiece, providing improved dimensional accuracy and surface finish on parts.

Lower maintenance

Selected base oil components provide effective rust protection of machine and parts, the high level of reserve alkalinity neutralizes acids that may develop in emulsion systems with use.

Longer emulsion life

Carefully balanced combination of base oil, emulsifiers and coupling agents produces stable, long-lasting emulsions. The high level of reserve alkalinity improves the emulsion’s resistance to bacterial degradation. The effective biocide combats micro-organisms.
