Cutting & Grinding Fluid Additives

The troubleshooters:

As cutting and grinding fluids can start to break down over time, tank-side additives can solve a number of problems. There are TRIM^® tank-side additives compatible with most coolants to extend tap and tool life, improve mechanical lubricity, control built-up edge, prevent stained parts, control foam, stabilize the emulsion, and replenish dye.

Whatever your problems and concerns, ask your TRIM specialist if a tank-side additive could be the answer.

TRIM™ TC 175

Chlorinated Lubricity Additive

TRIM TC 175 is a chlorinated EP (extreme pressure) lubrication/emulsifier additive package. It may be added to water-soluble coolant systems to replace or increase the presence of the chlorine EP additives in the system.

New, easier to mix formulation
New, chlorine EP additives stay in systems longer

TRIM™ TC 177

Odor Mask

TRIM TC 177 is a "vanilla" odor mask. This product may be used to reduce some of the odors associated with coolant systems.

TRIM™ TC 241A

Antifoam

TRIM TC 241A is a long lasting antifoam that does not contain any of the silicone or poly-siloxane ingredients usually found in antifoam. This unique formula results in much longer functional life when compared to traditional antifoams.

Only add to synthetic fluids
Use 0.01 (100 PPM) as the add rate
Pre-mix in either clean water or coolant working solution
Adding a little at a time, “up stream” of the filter helps to ensure maximum effectiveness
When properly mixed into the working solution, TRIM TC 241A will pass through filtration down to 2 microns, however, when not properly mixed, it may be filtered out
This material is very stable, and when properly mixed, three to four weeks between adds is typical
Fluid temperatures must be 21°C or higher at the point of agitation
