BENZ KOOL 550

  • Technology: Semi-synthetic Fluid
  • Materials: Multi-metal
  • Applications: Severe

AMSOIL Industrial BENZ KOOL 550 Semi-Synthetic Metalworking Fluid is designed for high-performance cutting and grinding operations that work with a variety of alloys, especially aluminum and yellow metals. It maintains long-term stability and reduces soap formation for high-pressure and through-tool coolant applications to promote superior tool life and surface finish.

  • Excellent boundary lubrication properties promote improved tool life and surface finishes.
  • Durable microemulsion improves cooling properties and minimizes fluid carry-off to reduce usage.
  • Excellent foam control in high-pressure applications for improved cutting performance and fluid maintenance.
  • Chlorine-free technology for improved environmental profile and reduced disposal costs.
