Coolants > APEX 6500
Description
APEX 6500 is a moderate to heavy duty synthetic coolant. It has superior oil rejecting capabilities. Formulated with extremely high lubricity for high speed machining with high feed rates. APEX 6500 runs very clean and is low foaming in hard and soft water applications. Works well in both ferrous and most nonferrous applications.
Advantages
- SUPERIOR RUST AND CORROSION PROTECTION. PROTECTS BOTH
FERROUS AND MOST NONFERROUS METALS - INCREASED LUBRICITY VS CONVENTIONAL SYNTHETIC COOLANTS
- EXCELLENT STABILITY IN HARD AND SOFT WATER APPLICATIONS TO ENSURE
MINIMAL RESIDUE BUILD-UP - QUICKLY REJECTS TRAMP OILS TO THE SURFACE
- LOW FOAMING IN ALL WATER CONDITIONS
- PREVENTS BIMETALLIC CORROSION AND IS SAFE TO USE IN EQUIPMENT
WITH MOST COPPER, BRASS, BRONZE, AND ALUMINUM COMPONENTS
