Steco Corp. Coolant Extends Cutting Tool Life
PMTS 2025: Tap Magic H2OX NC keeps tooling clean and cool while also providing maximum lubricity to protect and prolong the tool life.
Steco Corp.’s Tap Magic H2OX NC is metalworking product designed to be used in automated recirculating systems such as VMCs and automatic saw systems for non-ferrous metals. According to the company, this product keeps tooling clean and cool while also providing maximum lubricity to protect and prolong the tool life.
This is accomplished by utilizing a ester as the working extreme pressure (EP) agent to promote lubricity. By eliminating common EP agents such as chlorine and sulfur, this makes the product especially effective on non-ferrous alloys, aerospace and military applications or metals that require extensive postprocessing with minimal cleaning.
The product is said to provide long sump life (anti-bacterial/fungal additives), low skin irritation, corrosion resistance and low foaming formulation.
Steco Corp. says the semi-synthetic product provides a high level of tool protection while minimizing the sticky residual left by oil-soluble products typically used to enhance tool life. Dilution can be customized to the user’s application for optimal results and sump life is exceptional due to bacterial resistance and a defoamer that minimizes air getting into the bath.
