Tap Magic 53840Q Aqueous Cutting Fluid 30 Gal Drum

Product Description

The TAP MAGIC 53840Q is an aqueous cutting fluid supplied in a 30-gallon drum, designed for use in metal cutting and machining operations. Aqueous cutting fluids serve as coolants and lubricants during drilling, tapping, milling, turning, and other material-removal processes. The water-based formula helps dissipate heat at the cutting zone, reduces tool wear, and flushes away chips and swarf. This drum format suits shop environments with high-volume fluid needs, central sump systems, or bulk dispensing setups. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and shop supervisors handling production metalworking equipment are the primary users of this product.

This cutting fluid is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments performing repetitive or production-volume cutting operations. The 30-gallon drum size makes it a practical choice for facilities that refill sumps regularly or maintain multiple CNC or manual machine tools. Aqueous-type fluids are commonly used across ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications where cooling performance and chip evacuation are the primary concerns.

Installation Notes

This product is handled and applied by machinists or toolroom technicians in a machine shop environment. Before adding or replacing cutting fluid in a sump, shut down the machine and follow the equipment manufacturer's guidelines for sump cleaning and fluid concentration ratios. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling and dispensing cutting fluids, including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Dispose of spent fluid in accordance with local environmental regulations governing water-based metalworking fluids.
