Lenox LXBSBA5GAL Semi-synthetic Sawing Coolant 5 Gal

Product Description

The LENOX LXBSBA5GAL is a semi-synthetic metalworking sawing coolant supplied in a 5-gallon pail, part of the Lenox Band-Ade series. Formulated for general-purpose sawing applications, it delivers low-foaming performance and ester oil lubrication to reduce heat buildup and extend blade life. The fluid is chlorine-free and uses a semi-synthetic composition that balances cooling efficiency with lubrication. At a 9:1 dilution ratio (10% concentration), it produces a refractometer reading of 3.3, allowing technicians to verify mix concentration quickly with a standard refractometer. It is colorless to yellow in appearance with a specific gravity range of 0.996 to 1.1.

This coolant is designed for use in band saw and sawing machine applications across general-purpose metalworking environments. It suits fabrication shops, maintenance operations, and production cutting where a versatile, non-chlorinated cutting fluid is required. The semi-synthetic formula works with ferrous and non-ferrous metals in typical trade and industrial sawing scenarios. It is packaged in a single 5-gallon pail suitable for direct use in sump systems or as top-off stock in ongoing operations.

Key Features

• Semi-synthetic formula provides very good cooling with ester oil lubrication for blade protection
• Low-foaming design reduces sump maintenance and keeps cutting zones clear
• Chlorine-free composition supports safer handling and broader material compatibility
• Refrac reading of 3.3 at 9:1 dilution (10%) enables fast concentration verification
• Extends blade life, reducing tool costs in high-volume sawing operations
• Supplied in a 5-gallon pail for straightforward sump filling and storage

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose sawing applications as part of the Lenox Band-Ade series of metalworking fluids and coolants.

Installation Notes

This fluid is added to band saw or cutting machine sump systems by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before servicing the sump or coolant reservoir. Mix the concentrate with water at the recommended 9:1 ratio before adding to the system, and verify concentration with a refractometer prior to use. Dispose of spent coolant in accordance with local environmental regulations.
