FEATURES

-  Excellent oiling power

-  Good anti-rust protection

-  Low tendency to foam formation

-  High stability also with medium-high hardness waters 40 F

-  Low alkalinity and therefore excellent compatibility with operator's skin

APPLICATIONS

Specific for hard chip removal operations and for grinding operations on yellow alloys. Excellent for brass-copper-aluminium and its alloys.

REFAN 162 is a highly modern product in treatments designed to ensure clean and hygienic conditions in lubricating/coolant systems of machine tools. In fact one of the most complex problems in engineering workshops is that of cleaning the tanks and the entire recirculating system from spent solutions of emusified mineral and synthetic oils, and also to safeguard hygiene. This operation is absolutely necessary in order to avoid rotting and dermatitis, especially when changing these solutions.

REFAN 162 also allows this cleaning/hygiene ensuring operation to be carried out while working thus avoiding useless and costly stopping of the machine tools. Thanks to this capacity of REFAN 162 to be able to operate while the machine is working, it allows perfect cleaning and hygiene even in the most inaccessible parts of the machinery such as fluid feeding tubes, feeding nozzles, recirculation pumps and return line filters.

WHY USE REFAN 162?

Dirt and bacteria cause considerable problems in lubricating/coolant systems, such as separation of oil, dirty deposits, clogging of piping, corrosion and alteration of the emulsion caused by microorganisms.

HOW REFAN 162 WORKS

Its balanced formula containing surfactants and bactericides allows removal of bacteria from the emulsions undergoing decomposition, while wetting substances dissolve the deposits of dirt and colonies of bacteria. Strong corrosion inhibitors prevent corrosion of the metal parts.

ADVANTAGES OF USING REFAN 162

Use of REFAN 162 offers many advantages such as: economical use as the product is applied at about 1% and in just one operation it ensures cleaning and hygienic conditions. There is no need to stop the machine tools because REFAN 162 can be used during the machining operation. The perfectly clean and hygienic tanks and systems in general mean a longer working life of the cutting fluids.

TESTS PERFORMED USING REFAN 162

The following germs were detected when examining a cutting fluid 4% under decomposition:

Pseudomonas spec., Flavobacterium spec., Aerobacter spec., Bacillus spec., Desulfuricans, Aspergillus spec., and yeasts (funghi).

The test shows the effectiveness of REFAN 162.

REFAN 156 - multi-purpose milky lubricant/coolant

Lubricant/coolant technology had up-to now looked with scepticism to the definition of “multi-purpose” for the application of an emulsifying oil, but the research in the field has allowed this additional step forward, giving as result REFAN 156.

REFAN 156 is an emulsible milky lubricant/coolant for mechanical chip removal operations.

MAIN FEATURES

REFAN 156 disperses promptly in water causing milky emulsions finely dispersed, stable in water with a hardness till 80°F with a high anti-rust and biostatic power, allowing therefore to limit the number of fluid filling up or replacement. REFAN 156 is a lubricant/coolant EP and therefore suitable for heavy machinings and materials difficult to machine, thanks to its particular additives allows to tools very high performances. REFAN 156 is a biostable and flexible lubricant/coolant, suitable to any type of material even the non-ferrous ones.

Lubricant/coolant at transparent emulsion with water, composed by particles of boric amide at high stability with water soluble anti-corrosion and antifoam additives EP.

FEATURES: - REFAN 151 S

-  is first of all a powerful coolant with excellent stability in very hard waters too.

-  It makes opaque neither the machined workpieces nor the machine tools.

-  It increases tools life.

-  It does not make smoke.

APPLICATIONS

General chip removal and cutting machinings on ferrous and not-ferrous metals. Adviced dilutions:

3-6% for cutting and chip removal operations.
