RTD® Cleancut Hand Applied Metal Cutting Fluid

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ROCOL® RTD® Cleancut hand-applied metal cutting fluid is an advanced, oil-free cutting lubricant engineered to improve all day-to-day precision machining operations—whatever the metal being worked. Formulated with a low viscosity profile, this water-soluble fluid penetrates quickly and deeply into the tightest cutting areas, ensuring instantaneous cooling and high-efficiency lubrication right at the tool’s cutting edge.

By being completely oil-free, sulfur-free, and chlorine-free, RTD® Cleancut eliminates the severe problems of excessive fuming and bad odors often associated with conventional oil-based formulations, thereby significantly improving operator working conditions and preventing acid corrosion on the workpiece. It is completely non-staining to sensitive yellow metals and light alloys.

Furthermore, for less arduous or light-duty workshop tasks, it can be diluted up to a 1:1 ratio with water, making cleanup processes exceptionally simple, safe, and highly economical. It is also fully compatible with existing water-soluble cutting fluids, allowing users to dissolve it straight into the machine sump to fortify the extreme pressure properties of the current system without causing any tramp oil problems.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Multi-Metal and Non-Staining Performance: Meticulously designed for a broad spectrum of non-ferrous and ferrous metals, guaranteeing zero staining on delicate materials like aluminum, copper, and brass.

• Oil-Free and Fume-Free Technology: Eliminates excessive smoking, fuming, and harsh odors, providing an incredibly clean, professional, and operator-safe workshop environment.

• Water-Dilutable and Highly Economical: Can be cut back with water at up to a 1:1 ratio for lighter machining applications, offering greater operational economy and cost reduction.

• Machine Sump and Fluid Compatibility: Being totally water-soluble, it blends seamlessly with water-mix cutting fluids in CNC sumps to fortify existing fluids without creating hazardous tramp oil.

• Rapid Penetration and Superior Finish: The ultra-low viscosity allows the fluid to quickly flood the tool-workpiece interface, doubling tool life and delivering pristine, burr-free surface geometry.

APPLICATIONS

Ideally specified for day-to-day manufacturing, maintenance, and precision engineering operations involving multi-metal configurations. Perfect for manual thread tapping, high-precision reaming, and drilling on yellow metals (copper, brass), aluminum alloys, as well as ferrous metals.

FAQ?

Q: Can ROCOL® RTD® Cleancut be mixed with other cooling fluids in CNC sumps?

A: Yes. RTD® Cleancut is totally water-soluble and fully compatible with water-mix cutting fluids. Once dissolved into the machine sump, it safely fortifies the existing fluid’s cutting properties without triggering tramp oil separation issues.

Q: What is the maximum recommended dilution ratio for RTD® Cleancut with water?

A: For less arduous or everyday general machining operations, RTD® Cleancut can be cut back with water up to a 1:1 dilution ratio for greater economy.

Q: Will RTD® Cleancut cause staining on aluminum or copper surfaces?

A: No. RTD® Cleancut is specially formulated to be non-staining, making it perfectly safe and highly recommended for sensitive non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass, and copper.
