Description
Metalworking coolant DuraKut 8830B is a low-oil, general-purpose metalworking fluid designed for versatility in various metalworking operations such as milling, turning, drilling, tapping, sawing, and grinding. Its high lubricity and efficient heat dissipation make it effective for these applications. The fluid offers superior stability in hard water and exceptional resistance to biological degradation, ensuring long sump life. DuraKut 8830B rinses the machine continuously, preventing sticky residues and contributing to a safe working environment due to its non-hazardous, low-misting formula.
This semi-synthetic coolant is ideal for operations requiring cleanliness, rust protection, and compatibility with a wide range of metals, making it particularly suited for CNC and automatic equipment.
