Water-Soluble Coolant for Metal Cutting

To obtain the best possible cutting results, an additive for recirculation units should be added. The correct cutting cooling fluid is essential for a good sectioning result.

For the best performance of the cut-off wheel we recommend that you use Aka-Cool, a water-soluble coolant. This coolant ensures that the abrasives used in the cut-off wheels are properly lubricated where the cutting takes place. This means minimum thermal damage of both sample and cut-off wheel and therefore additional lifetime of the cutting wheels. It further protects the cutting machine from corrosion and helps to reduce clogging of the debris in the recirculating cooling unit, thus facilitating cleaning of the tank. 3 – 5% of Aka-Cool is mixed with water for optimum performance. This makes the final liquid a water-based cutting coolant.

Water-Based Cutting Coolant: Optimal Sectioning Results

Incorporating a water-based cutting coolant like Aka-Cool into your metal cutting step can help you achieve optimal cutting performance and extend the life of your equipment. When mixed with water, a coolant like Aka-Cool offers superior lubrication, minimising thermal damage when sectioning your sample piece. For optimal performance, mix 3-5% of Aka-Cool with water.

Aka-Cool enhances the cooling and lubricating abilities of water, providing effective corrosion protection for both the cut-off machine and sample material. This coolant is free from amine and boric acid, common in many other machine coolants, ensuring optimum skin compatibility and low allergy potential. These properties make Aka-Cool a safer and more economical choice.

Aka-Cool’s formulation also helps maintain a cleaner recirculating system by preventing debris accumulation, making overall maintenance easier and more efficient. However, certain materials can cause excessive foaming in the cooling fluid, which significantly reduces its cooling ability and may lead to overflow in the recirculation cooling unit. To address this, mix 0.5-1.0% of Aka-NoFoam with water to eliminate foam, ensuring optimal cooling performance and preventing thermal damage to the material.

Anti-foaming Agent

Some materials can create excessive foaming of the cooling fluid. Foam will greatly reduce the cooling ability of the cooling water and can overflow the recirculation cooling unit. To avoid foaming, Aka-NoFoam should be used.
