<strong>Castrol</strong> Clearedge ® <strong>V6</strong><br />
Metalworking Fluid<br />
Description<br />
<strong>Castrol</strong> Clearedge ® <strong>V6</strong> is a biostable extreme pressure soluble oil based on solvent refined<br />
mineral oil. <strong>Castrol</strong> Clearedge ® <strong>V6</strong> contains synthetic lubricity additives, extreme pressure<br />
additives and corrosion inhibitors. It is based on<br />
materials which are naturally resistant to bacterial attack.<br />
Application<br />
<strong>Castrol</strong> Clearedge ® <strong>V6</strong> is designed for use in most production engineering applications. It is<br />
le for large central systems and for smaller individual coolant sumps. <strong>Castrol</strong> Clearedge ® <strong>V6</strong><br />
will perform a wide range of machining operations, including milling, drilling, tapping, reaming<br />
and broaching. It is ideal for systems where a range of operations are performed on a variety<br />
of different metals - steels, cast irons and even difficult alloys such as stainless steel and<br />
aluminium.<br />
Benefits and Qualities<br />
• Exceptional emulsion stability and bacteria resistance. Long coolant life. Ideal for large<br />
central systems.<br />
• Contains no nitrites or phenols. Operator and environment friendly. Good working<br />
environment. Lower disposal costs.<br />
• Low foaming properties. Will not cause foaming in large high speed systems. Troublefree<br />
operation.<br />
• Can be used on a wide range of metals and operations. Versatile. Allows product<br />
rationalisation - one grade for all uses.<br />
• Good corrosion protection. High quality output.<br />

Measuring Emulsion Strength<br />
To ensure optimum performance of the emulsion, check the emulsion strength weekly and<br />
adjust if necessary. A quick, easy and accurate. method is by using a refractometer, such as<br />
the Atago N10 Hand Sugar Refractometer, available from <strong>Castrol</strong>.<br />

Method<br />
• Zero instrument according to manufacturer’s instructions, including making allowance<br />
for temperature variations.<br />
• Allow coolant to circulate and then take representative sample of coolant from coolant<br />
system, preferably from the ‘clean’ tank. Avoid picking up tramp oil. If necessary, allow<br />
sample to stand a few minutes and remove the oil from the surface.<br />
• Pour a large drop of coolant sample on the prism and close flap. Ensure a full film of<br />
coolant is trapped between the flap and the prism. Hold the instrument up to the light<br />
and take the per tage 9<br />
• For <strong>Castrol</strong> Clearedge ® <strong>V6</strong> the refractometer reading is the actual coolant<br />
concentration. (This is not the case for all coolants.)<br />
• After use rinse the refractometer flap and prism surfaces in tapwater and wipe dry.<br />

Spillage:<br />
Disposal:<br />
SMALL - 20 LITRES OR LESS<br />
Soak up on <strong>Castrol</strong> Diatomaceous Earth or similar inert oil absorbent.<br />
Arrange for disposal through an approved facility.<br />
LARGE - GREATER THAN 20 LITRES<br />
Remove all sources of ignition. Increase ventilation. Evacuate all<br />
unnecessary personnel. Wear full protective equipment and clothing to<br />
minimise exposure. If possible contain the spill. Place inert absorbent<br />
material such as vermiculite, sand or dirt onto spillage. Use clean nonsparking<br />
tools to collect the material and place into a suitable labelled<br />
container. Do not dilute material but contain. If large quantities of this<br />
material enter the waterways contact the Environmental Protection<br />
Authority, or your local Waste Management Authority.<br />
Dispose of waste according to federal, E.P.A., state and local regulations.<br />
Assure conformity with all applicable regulations.<br />
