Rustlick 69016 Tapping Fluid 12 Oz Water-based

Product Description

The RUSTLICK 69016 is a water-based tapping and cutting fluid supplied in a 12 oz bottle. Formulated under the Accu-Lube Tri-Logic RTD line, it is designed to reduce friction and heat during tapping, drilling, and cutting operations on ferrous metals, steel, and titanium. The brown liquid composition helps extend tool life and improve surface finish on the workpiece. It meets OSHA standards and is resistant to micro-organism growth, which supports longer fluid service life in shop environments. Machinists, pipefitters, and metalworking tradespeople use this fluid when threading and tapping operations demand reliable lubrication and clean results.

This tapping fluid is suited for light to medium-duty metalworking applications in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and trade service environments. It applies directly from the bottle to the cutting tool or workpiece before and during tapping or drilling. The water-based formula is easy to remove with aqueous cleaners after the job, reducing post-operation cleanup time. Compatible material applications include ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, and titanium workpieces where controlled lubrication is needed during threading operations.

Key Features

• Water-based formula resists micro-organism growth for extended shelf and sump life
• Extends cutting tool life by reducing friction and heat buildup at the cutting edge
• Improves surface finish on tapped and drilled workpieces
• Easy to remove with standard aqueous cleaners after use
• Suitable for ferrous metals, steel, and titanium applications
• OSHA-compliant formulation

Compatibility

Designed for tapping, drilling, and cutting operations on ferrous metal, steel, and titanium workpieces. Suitable for use in fabrication, maintenance, and general metalworking environments where a water-based cutting fluid is required.

Installation Notes

Applied by machinists, pipefitters, or metalworking tradespeople before and during cutting or tapping operations. Apply fluid directly to the tool or workpiece at the point of contact prior to beginning the cut. Store in a cool, dry location and keep the bottle sealed when not in use to maintain fluid integrity. Review SDS documentation and applicable OSHA guidelines before use in confined or poorly ventilated workspaces.
