Soluble Oil B

A water-mix soluble cutting fluid for compatible metalworking operations. When correctly mixed with water, Soluble Oil B forms a milky emulsion that provides cooling and lubrication at the cutting zone while helping protect components and machine-tool surfaces from corrosion.

Working Concentration:

5-10%

Product Type:

Soluble Cutting Fluid

Application:

Cutting and Grinding

Product Description

Gem Soluble Oil B is a water-mix metalworking fluid developed for general cutting and grinding operations. When added to water at the appropriate concentration, it forms a dense, milky-white emulsion designed to provide cooling and lubrication between the cutting tool and workpiece.

The formulation helps control heat and friction during machining while supporting corrosion protection for components and machine-tool surfaces. It is also designed to help control foaming and maintain emulsion stability in properly managed recirculating coolant systems.

The stated working concentration is 5–10% concentrate in the prepared emulsion. The appropriate concentration within this range will depend on the machining operation, material, water quality and coolant delivery system.

Always add the concentrate gradually to water with adequate mixing. Do not add water directly to the neat concentrate.

Applications

Cutting Operations

For compatible metal-cutting processes requiring a water-mix fluid to provide cooling, lubrication and corrosion protection.

Grinding Operations

Suitable for compatible grinding applications where heat control and consistent delivery of the working emulsion are required.

Machining Centres

For use in compatible machining centres operating with recirculating water-mix coolant systems.

Coolant Delivery Systems

Suitable for compatible low- and high-pressure coolant delivery systems, subject to the requirements of the machine, tooling and machining process.

Always check the required product type, grade, specification and compatibility against the vehicle or equipment manufacturer’s recommendations before use.

Common Questions

Gem Soluble Oil B is intended for compatible cutting and grinding operations. It is mixed with water to form a milky emulsion that provides cooling and lubrication at the cutting zone while helping protect components and machine-tool surfaces from corrosion.

Measure the required quantity of water first, then add the concentrate gradually while maintaining good circulation or agitation. Always add concentrate to water rather than adding water to the neat concentrate.

The stated working range is 5–10% concentrate in the prepared emulsion. The appropriate concentration within that range will depend on the material, machining operation, water quality and coolant delivery conditions.

Concentration should be checked regularly using a suitable refractometer and the applicable product correction factor, where one has been provided.

No soluble cutting fluid should be assumed to be suitable for every metal or alloy. Confirm compatibility with the workpiece material, tooling and required surface finish before introducing the product into a production system.
