<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Superedge</strong> <strong>AL</strong><br />
High Performance Soluble Metalworking Fluid<br />
Description<br />
<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Superedge</strong> <strong>AL</strong> is a high performance soluble metalworking fluid based<br />
on solvent refined paraffinic mineral oil especially designed for machining<br />
aluminium and its alloys.<br />
<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Superedge</strong> <strong>AL</strong> contains emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors and special<br />
lubricity additives, making it also suitable for use with ferrous metals. It contains<br />
a very effective biocide package which protects the in use emulsion from both<br />
bacteria and fungus.<br />
<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Superedge</strong> <strong>AL</strong> forms a fine milky emulsion in potable water and does<br />
not stain copper alloys.<br />
<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Superedge</strong> <strong>AL</strong> is a low foaming product.<br />
Application<br />
<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Superedge</strong> <strong>AL</strong> is suitable for use on all metal types especially<br />
aluminium and its alloys where exceptional tool life and surface finish is a<br />
requirement.<br />
<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Superedge</strong> <strong>AL</strong> must be premixed with water prior to use by adding the<br />
concentrated product to water with a moderate degree of agitation.<br />
The final working concentration should be between 5 and 15% depending on the<br />
severity of the operation.<br />
The concentration should be measured using a <strong>Castrol</strong> hand-held refractometer<br />
using a conversion factor of 1.2.<br />
<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Superedge</strong> <strong>AL</strong> should be delivered to the cutting area in a copious flood<br />
application to provide maximum lubrication and cooling.<br />
Benefits<br />
• Formulated on solvent refined mineral oil – does not contain hazardous<br />
aromatic constituents. Safe for operators.<br />
• Contains special lubricity agents for aluminium – maximizes tool life and<br />
provides good surface finish. Minimises scrap and rework.<br />
• Contains biocide and fungicide – resists microbiological spoilage.<br />
• Good wetting characteristics – keeps machines and tools clean.<br />
Improves tool life.<br />
• Low odour – operator acceptance. No complaints in service.<br />

Spillage:<br />
Disposal:<br />
SM<strong>AL</strong>L – 20 litres or less<br />
Soak up on <strong>Castrol</strong> Diatomaceous Earth or similar inert oil<br />
absorbent. 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<br />
clothing to minimise exposure. If possible contain the spill. Place<br />
inert absorbent material such as vermiculite, sand or dirt onto<br />
spillage. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect the material and<br />
place into a suitable labelled container. Do not dilute material but<br />
contain. If large quantities of this material enter the waterways<br />
contact the Environmental Protection Authority, or your local<br />
Waste Management Authority.<br />
Oils must not be allowed to enter ground water, water<br />
courses, sewerage or drainage systems. Refer to local waste<br />
disposal authority for legal requirements.<br />
