Description
Rock Oil Akwesol 554 Soluble Oil 5ltr
Akwesol 554 is a soluble oil for use in most workshops as a general cutting oil including operations such as cutting, milling, reaming, turning and drilling. This oil doesn’t contain any chlorinated, sulphurised extreme pressure additives or any genetically modified ingredients. It is also Bovine free.
This oil is also a non-phenolic, nitrite-free cutting oil which when mixed with water, forms a stable, milky emulsion. It contains rust inhibitors, biocides and stabilizers, to give extended life both in the workshop and under equipment storage conditions and prevents bacterial growth and odour generation.
