CIMSTAR QUAL STAR LF

CIMSTAR ® QUAL STAR ® LFSEMISYNTHETIC, METALWORKING FLUID CONCENTRATEAPPLICATIONSCIMSTAR ® QUAL STAR ® LF is recommended for general-purposemachining and grinding of ferrous metals.Metals: Cast Iron, Nodular Iron, Carbon Steels, High Speed Steel,High Alloy Steels, Stainless Steels, AluminumDuty Range: For moderate to heavy-duty operationsFEATURES &BENEFITSCIMSTAR ® QUAL STAR ® LF is a new-generation semi syntheticmetalworking fluid. It blends the technological advantages of modernday synthetic fluids with the performance capabilities of soluble oils.Designed to be low foaming in soft water (less than 125-ppm totalhardness).LUBRICITY - Physical and chemical lubricants provide goodmachining and grinding properties - Keeps parts and tools coolEXCEPTIONALLY MILD - Ideal for individual machine applications -Can be used in central system applicationsEXCELLENT FERROUS CORROSION CONTROL - Rust inhibitorpackage is extremely effective in preventing in-process rust onmachines and parts - Effective on cast/malleable/gray/nodular ironsNON-FERROUS CORROSION CONTROL - Contains non-ferrouscorrosion inhibitors which prevent stain on aluminum alloys, brass,copper and bronzeSUPERIOR RANCIDITY CONTROL - Effective protection againstbacteria and moldGENERAL-PURPOSE PRODUCT - Can be used economicallythroughout the shop on light, moderate and some heavy-dutyoperations; just vary the dilution to suit the job requirementsMACHINE FRIENDLY - Liquid residue keeps machine toolcomponents free movingENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY - Can be recycled for reuse

RECOMMENDEDSTARTINGDILUTIONSFOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLYUse between 5.0% (1:20) and 10.0% (1:10) for machining andgrinding ferrous and nonferrous metals.CIMSTAR ® QUAL STAR ® LF is to be mixed with water for use (addconcentrate to water).Add no other substances to the concentrate or mix unless approvedby CIMCOOL ® Technical Services. Not recommended for use withmagnesium or alloyed magnesium.For concentration analysis, use the MI Titration Procedure, Non-Solvent Titration Procedure, Total Alkalinity Titration Procedure,CIMCHEK Test Strip, or Refractometer.TYPICALPHYSICAL ANDCHEMICALPROPERTIESPhysical state: LiquidAppearance and odor: Slightly hazy, chemicalColors available: Undyed, pinkSolubility in water: 100% MiscibleWeight, lb/gal, 60°F (15.6°C): 8.46Specific gravity, (H 2 O = 1): 1.014Boiling point, °F (°C): 212 (100)Flash point,COC,°F (°C): None, self extinguishingFire point,COC, °F (°C): NAExtinguishing media: NAUnusual fire & explosion hazards: NoneFreezing point (or pour point), °F, (°C): 30 (-1)If frozen, thoroughly thaw prior to using.pH, concentrate: 9.7pH, 5.0% mix, typical operating conditions: 8.9Total chlorine / chloride, wt%, calculated: 0.00 / < 50 ppmTotal sulfur, wt%, calculated: 0.16Silicones: NonePACKAGINGAvailable in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, and bulk containers.REFRACTOMETER FACTOR = 1.6 Multiply the scale reading obtained on your CIMCOOL ®Metalworking Fluid or other acceptable refractometer by the Refractometer Factor to obtain the mixconcentration in percent.NOTE: Calibrate the refractometer so that it reads 0.0 with water, before testing the sample mix.Remove gross contaminants from the sample mix before testing.For additional information concerning CIMSTAR ® QUAL STAR ® LF, refer to its OSHA MSDSor contact CIMCOOL ® Technical Services at 1-513-458-8199.Minor formulation changes or normal variations in the manufacture of this product may cause slight variances in the data presented on this sheet.Consumable Products Division/ Milacron Marketing CompanyCincinnati, Ohio 45209Date 12/5/00
