• VERSATILE
• ECONOMICAL

It keeps the metal being machined at a reasonable temperature which prevents undue expansion. This is important where tolerances are in the ten thousandths of an inch, since even the slightest heating causes expansion and inaccurate machining. This product prevents dry welding of chips by maintaining low temperatures. You should notice a trace of smoke going down from the tool when using TRI-X-100. If the smoke goes up, it means the tool is hot and the coolant is not performing satisfactorily. The coolant is working only fair if the smokes hangs around the tool.

Contains a special oil giving the product enough lubricity to reduce the forces in a machining operation, thereby cutting the power consumption to a minimum. The excellent lubricity of this product  speeds up production work and helps the tool give a high mirror finish. The excellent lubricity of TRI-X-100 helps prevent dry welding of chips, and this means the chips scraps bring more money for salvage because they are not burned.

Contains an enormous amount of special emulsifying agent so the oil/water mix is complete and stable. The emulsifier prevents the tiny oil droplets from rejoining into big drops. The emulsifier also helps TRI-X-100 to have excellent disbursing properties. The disbursing properties of this product keeps the small 
chips, which tend to cling together, from accumulating and congesting the coolant system. It picks up the chips immediately as they are formed and flushes them away from the cutting area.

Contains a unique inhibitor known as "phos-x" that imparts outstanding rust proofing properties. It inhibits rust on parts and machinery at concentrations as low as 1 part TRI-X-100 to 75 parts water. "Phos-x" also adds to the EP qualities of this product at the point where the cutting tool comes in contact with the material being machined thus giving longer life and a smoother finish. Also incorporated into TRI-X-100 are products to inhibit the breakdown of oil products when mixed with water. This helps eliminate odors and bacteria growth. It helps eliminate dermatitis from forming on workers hands because they are not subjected to large amounts of bacteria.

Suitable for machining a wide variety of metals in such operations as turret lathes, drill presses, grinders, reamers, broaches, milling machines, and saws. TRI-X-100 is mixed at
the rate of 1 gallon per 20 to 30 gallons of water for most operations. As always, the type of metal, the type of machining operation and water hardness must be taken into consideration.

It is economical to use. For example, it is used at one part TRI-X-100 to 50 or 70 parts of water for grinding operations. Naturally, the hardness of the water will influence how much TRI-X-100 to use. Soft water is always preferred.

For good success the pump and lines of the entire coolant system should be cleaned prior to the introduction of TRI-X-100. This is necessary to avoid a rancid condition that may be present from the coolant previously used in the system. The use of BIG RED - - a multi-purpose concentrated cleaner - - is recommended for this cleaning. Use 4 - 6 oz. of BIG RED to each gallon of water. This removes the tramp oils, scums, etc. Some mechanical cleaning may be necessary. Rinse well with clear water containing a bleach to ensure starting out fresh and clean. The amount of bleach should be about 2 oz. per gallon.
