MAXIM SYNTHETIC 238 DATAFILE

GENERAL PURPOSE METALWORKING FLUID

 

MAXIM SYNTHETIC 238 is a water rejecting, polyalkylene glycol based synthetic cutting, sawing and grinding fluid formulated to perform exceptionally in a variety of machine operations.

 

MAXIM SYNTHETIC 238, when diluted with water; exhibits excellent cooling properties for superior finishes and increased tool life.  238 is recommended for use when machining, sawing and grinding ferrous and non ferrous materials where machinability requirements range from mild to moderately severe.

 

MAXIM SYNTHETIC 238 remains highly transparent to afford the machine operator full view of the work. Unlike many synthetics, the 238 remains fluid in and on the surfaces of the machining center allowing slideways, chucks, and tooling to work freely without a hard-to-clean, dry residue. The translucent dilute is non-foaming, silicon free, and retains its oil rejecting characteristics in both soft and hard water.  These and related traits compel the 238 to be an excellent choice in central coolant recovery systems where undiminishing filterability and rapid tramp oil separation is a contingency for favorable fluid recovery.

The effective biostatic system formulated into the  238 yields a higher resistance to microbial degradation and rancidity than conventional fluids; this allows for longer coolant life in machine sumps and central coolant systems without special maintenance procedures. 

MAXIM SYNTHETIC 238 incorporates a three part DEA FREE corrosion inhibitor package that provides complete protection for machine surfaces and parts in process.  238 also contains an inhibitor to prevent galvanic corrosion between stacked parts.  This feature makes 238 well suited for the machining of cast iron as well as a variety of machine operations on aluminum and most aerospace alloys.
