Rustlick 85005 Synthetic Cutting Fluid 5 Gallon Pail

Product Description

The RUSTLICK 85005 is a synthetic cutting fluid formulated for metalworking operations including machining and grinding. It ships in a 5-gallon pail with a net fill of 18.9 liters and weighs approximately 45 pounds. The fluid is a liquid-form synthetic compound with a specific gravity of 1.5 and a flash point of 200 degrees F. It is designed to provide lubrication and cooling at the cutting zone, helping to extend tool life and maintain workpiece surface quality. Machinists, CNC operators, and tool-and-die shops are the typical end users. The tan-colored fluid is part of the RUSTLICK Cutting Fluids series.

This cutting fluid is suited for grinding and machining applications involving most metals. It performs across a range of operations including surface grinding, cylindrical grinding, and general metal cutting. The 5-gallon pail format is practical for shop sumps and machine tool coolant reservoirs. The synthetic composition supports cleaner sump conditions compared to straight oil formulations, reducing residue buildup and simplifying maintenance intervals in production environments.

Key Features

• Synthetic composition for clean sump performance and reduced residue
• Effective for grinding and machining of most metals
• Flash point of 200 degrees F provides a safety margin in heated cutting environments
• Specific gravity of 1.5 for consistent fluid film and coverage
• Liquid form for direct use in machine tool coolant systems and sumps
• 5-gallon pail format for convenient shop handling and sump filling

Compatibility

Designed for use in metalworking fluid systems requiring a synthetic cutting fluid, including machine tool coolant sumps used in grinding and general metal machining operations.

Installation Notes

This fluid is applied by qualified machine operators or maintenance personnel following equipment manufacturer guidelines. Before servicing a coolant sump, shut down the machine and follow lockout/tagout procedures per OSHA standards. Consult the machine tool manufacturer specifications for proper dilution ratios and sump concentration levels before adding fluid. Dispose of spent cutting fluid in accordance with local environmental regulations.
