SARCOOL XT
SARCOOL XT is the latest in chlorine free technology offering significant advantages in performance without the use of chlorinated additives. It is inherently low foam and is excellent in medium to hard water. It is suitable for use on a wide range of difficult materials and is a perfect choice for aerospace and high technology manufacturing.
Formulated to incorporate the latest performance additives; the product exhibits excellent lubricity characteristics to provide both good tool life and surface finish. The product is highly resistant to bacteria formation and exhibits excellent corrosion resistance whilst maintaining machine cleanliness and operator acceptability.
Application
The product provides unrivalled cutting performance and can be used in all types of arduous manufacturing applications. The performance additives incorporated into the fluid provides outstanding surface finish on all types of aluminium and associated alloys as well as steels and titanium. The unique formulation prevents scum and soap formation associated with more reactive materials.
Benefits
- Compatible with medium to very hard water qualities up to 450 – 500ppm calcium carbonate.
- Highly resistant to bacterial and fungal degradation.
- Excellent corrosion inhibition to ferrous metals.
- Good resistance to contact corrosion thus allowing work pieces to be stacked without staining occurring.
- Exceptional inhibition properties against staining of many non-ferrous metals, including copper and its alloys and aluminium and its alloys.
- Chlorine, secondary amine, nitrite and phenol free formulation for optimum operator acceptability.
- Extremely low foaming tendency.

Fluid Maintenance
To check and maintain fluid concentration a refractometer is recommended, the resulting reading multiplied by the refractometer conversion factor will give the actual concentration strength. Maintaining a consistent concentration is paramount to prolonging the fluid sump life. To promote long service life, it is strongly advised that coolant systems are thoroughly sterilised with a System Cleaner prior to coolant changes (see Sarsol System Cleaner Technical Data Sheet for further information and guidelines).
Further tests for bacteria, fungus, pH and tramp oil contamination are available through our Cooltrak Fluid Management Service. This service offers guidance and assistance for users to comply with current HSE legislative requirements. Please contact us for further details.
