Opticool™ 372(E) (EMEA Only)
Opticool™ 372(E) (EMEA Only) is a proven, universal, water miscible metal working fluid. It is ideal where lubricity is important and operations severe. The OPTICOOL 372(E) is suitable for a broad range of metal cutting operations. When mixed with water, OPTICOOL 372(E) forms a stable, emulsion providing for effective machining operations. OPTICOOL 372(E) improves productivity by reducing the time to process metals, increasing the quality of the workmanship and increasing tool life. OPTICOOL 372(E) offers cost effective dilution rates, corrosion inhibiting properties, extreme pressure additive package and hard water stability.

- Direction
OPTICOOL 372(E) should be added to water at the recommended starting point. It is important that the coolant be added to water. Do not add water to the coolant. Before adding OPTICOOL 372(E) to any reservoir remove old coolant, fines and residues from the system. Drain the old coolant from the sump, charge the system with Chesterton 218 HDP Cleaner at 5% concentration. Circulate the cleaner for up to 2 hours through all lines, tool holders and work pieces. Dilutions in excess of 40:1 are not recommended since the corrosion protection and resistance to bacterial attack will be reduced.

- Composition
OPTICOOL 372(E) is compounded with the most effective extreme pressure and anti-weld additives. These additives along the base lubricant provide both hydrodynamic (barrier film) and boundary lubrication, which effectively extend tool life and improve surface finish. A biological preservation package provides microbial control virtually eliminating any adverse effects on the skin. OPTICOOL 372(E) does not contain nitrites, phenols, sulfur, mercurials, formaldehyde or chlorinated additives.
