TRI-X-100

HELPS KEEP METAL COOL PROVIDES EXCELLENT LUBRICITY OIL/WATER MIX IS STABLE INHIBITS RUST AND ODOR VERSATILE ECONOMICAL

TRI-X-100 is a water soluble machine coolant developed especially for the metal working and machine tooling industry.  TRI-X-100 is a superior coolant that extends tool life, permits higher or increased speeds in machining operations.  TRI-X-100 is an amber, oil based compound with a pleasant characteristic oil odor.

Helps Keep Metal Cool

TRI-X-100 keeps the metal being machined at a reasonable temperature which prevents undue expansion.  This is important where tolerances are in the ten thousandths of an inch, since even the slightest heating causes expansion and inaccurate machining.  TRI-X-100 prevents dry welding of chips by maintaining low temperatures.  You should notice a trace of smoke going down from the tool when using TRI-X-100.  If the smoke goes up, it means the tool is hot and the coolant is not performing satisfactorily.  The coolant is working only fair if the smoke hangs around the tool.

Provides Excellent Lubricity

TRI-X-100 contains a special oil giving the product enough lubricity to reduce the forces in a machining operation, thereby cutting the power consumption to a minimum.  The excellent lubricity of TRI-X-100 speeds up production work and helps the tool give a high mirror finish.  The excellent lubricity of TRI-X-100 helps prevent dry welding of chips, and this means the chip scraps bring more money for salvage because they are not burned.

Oil/Water Mix Is Stable

TRI-X-100 contains an enormous amount of a special emulsifying agent so the oil/water mix is complete and stable.  The emulsifier prevents the tiny oil droplets from rejoining into big drops.  The emulsifier also helps TRI-X-100 to have excellent disbursing properties.  The disbursing properties of TRI-X-100 keep the small chips, which tend to cling together, from accumulating and congesting the coolant system.  TRI-X-100 picks up the chips immediately as they are formed and flushes them away from the cutting area.

Inhibits Rust and Odor

TRI-X-100 contains a unique inhibitor known as "phos-x" that imparts outstanding rust proofing properties.  TRI-X-100 inhibits rust on parts and machinery at concentrations as low as 1 part TRI-X-100 to 75 parts water.  "Phos-x" also adds to the EP qualities of TRI-X-100 at the point where the cutting tool comes in contact with the material being machined thus giving long life and smoother finish.  Also incorporated into TRI-X-100 are products to inhibit the breakdown of oil products when mixed with water.  This helps eliminate odors and bacteria growth.  TRI-X-100 helps eliminate dermatitis from forming on workers hands because they are not subjected to large amounts of bacteria.

Is Versatile

TRI-X-100 is suitable for machining a wide variety of metals in such operations as turrent lathes, drill presses, grinders, reamers, broaches, miling machines, and saws.  TRI-X-100 is mixed at the rate of 1 gallon per 20 to 30 gallons of water for most operations.  As always, the type of metal, the type of machining operation and the water hardness must be taken into consideration.

Is Economical

TRI-X-100 is economical to use.  For example, it is used at one part TRI-X-100 to 50 or even 70 parts of water for grinding operations.  Naturally, the hardness of the water will influence how much  to use.  Soft water is always preferred.

TRI-X-100

For good success the pump and lines of the entire coolant system should be cleaned prior to the introduction of TRI-X-100.  This is necessary to avoid a rancid condition that may be present from the coolant previously used in the system.  The use of BIG RED -- a multi-purpose concentrated cleaner -- is recommended for this cleaning.  Use 4 to 6 oz. of BIG RED  to each gallon of water.  This removes the tramp oils, scums, etc.  Some mechanical cleaning may be necessary.  Rinse well with clear water containing a bleach to ensure starting out fresh and clean.  The amount of bleach should be about 2 oz. per gallon.
