Product Description

The LPS 40230 is a synthetic, water-based cutting and tapping fluid packaged in a 1-gallon bottle. Sold under the trade name Tapmatic Plus 2, it is formulated for machining aluminum and aluminum alloys, reducing heat and friction during material removal operations. The amber-colored liquid meets OSHA standards and carries a flash point of 165.20 degrees F, indicating a relatively safe handling profile for shop environments. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades use this fluid during precision metalworking to extend tool life and improve cut quality on aluminum workpieces.

This cutting fluid is suited for light industrial and maintenance machining applications involving aluminum and aluminum alloy stock. It performs across a wide range of operations including boring, broaching, drawing, drilling, engraving, facing, finishing, grinding, milling, reaming, sawing, stamping, tapping, threading, and turning. Its synthetic, water-based composition makes it compatible with flood, drip, and manual application methods commonly used in shop and field service settings.
