CIMSTAR 66

SEMI-SYNTHETIC, METALWORKING FLUID CONCENTRATE

 

APPLICATIONS

 

CIMSTAR® 66 is recommended for general purpose machining and grinding of ferrous metals. Can also be used on some applications on nonferrous metals.

 

Metals: Cast Iron, Nodular Iron, Carbon Steels, High Speed Steel, High Alloy Steels, Stainless Steels, Aluminum

 

Duty Range: For moderate to heavy duty operations

 

FEATURES & BENEFITS

 

CIMSTAR® 66 is designed to be used in metalworking fluid systems with high water hardness (i.e. greater than 400 ppm total hardness).

 

LUBRICITY:

 

Physical and chemical lubricants provide good machining and grinding properties - Keeps parts and tools cool

 

EXCEPTIONALLY MILD:

 

Ideal for individual machine applications - Can also be used in central systems

 

EXCELLENT FERROUS CORROSION CONTROL:

 

Rust inhibitor package is extremely effective in preventing in-process rust on machines and parts Also effective on cast/malleable/gray/nodular irons

 

NON-FERROUS CORROSION CONTROL:

 

Contains non-ferrous corrosion inhibitors which prevent stain on many aluminum alloys

 

SUPERIOR RANCIDITY CONTROL:

 

Effective protection against bacteria and mold

 

GENERAL PURPOSE PRODUCT:

 

Can be used economically throughout the shop on light, moderate and some heavy duty operations; just vary the dilution to suit the job requirements

 

MACHINE FRIENDLY:

 

Liquid residue keeps machine tool components free moving

 

STARTING DILUTIONS

 

RECOMMENDED FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY

 

Recommended Starting Dilution	5% (1:20)
Typical Operating Range	5% (1:20) to 10% (1:10)

 

CIMSTAR® 66 is to be mixed with water for use (add concentrate to water). Add no other substances to the concentrate or mix unless approved by CIMCOOL® Technical Services.

 

Not recommended for use with magnesium or alloyed magnesium.

 

For concentration analysis, use the MI Titration Procedure, Non-Solvent Titration Procedure, Total Alkalinity Titration Procedure, CIMCHEK™ Test Strip, or Refractometer.

 

REFRACTOMETER FACTOR = 1.6 Multiply the scale reading obtained on your CIMCOOL® Metalworking Fluid or other acceptable refractometer by the Refractometer Factor to obtain the mix concentration in percent.

 

NOTE: Calibrate the refractometer so that it reads 0.0 with water, before testing the sample mix. Remove gross contaminants from the sample mix before testing.
