Benefits & Savings of using VX-55 *  Longer Fluid Life. *  Increased Tool Life.   *  Prevents Clogging of Filters, Sprayers and Pipes by sludge and bio-film deposits.  *  Improved productivity, reduced labour (fewer fluid change-outs, less downtime). *  Consistently manufactured quality products.   *  Reduced costs (reduced purchase and waste disposal costs). *  Cleaner, Safer and more Environmentally Sound Working Environment.   Safe & Non-Foaming Compatible with all water soluble cutting and cooling fluids.   Effective over a wide pH range.  Non-hazardous in use. Water soluble, non-foaming, biodegradable, effective at low concentrations. Good high temperature stability. Problem Control of bio-film in metalworking fluids can be difficult.  This bio-film becomes a safe haven for viable micro-organisms to act as a continuous source of contamination to the system causing slime and sludge contamination to degrade the MFW. Microbial Growth Causes an Unhealthy Atmosphere  The Metalworking Fluid to become rancid and produce a rotten-egg odour.  This impacts fluid performance by  causing in-balance in the oil / water ratio.  It breaks down the corrosion inhibitor content of the MWF and affects its corrosion protection properties.   How VX-55 Works VX-55 works by changing and sequestering the crystalline structure of the bio-film preventing it from forming. Is highly effective at very low levels giving long lasting protection to your metalworking fluid at low cost. Dosage Rates for VX-55 Highly concentrated.  Maintenance dose 1:1,000.  Shock dose 1:500. How to Use Simply add to water when making up solution this will prolong life of your diluted cutting / cooling oil fluid  by up to 50% - 100%.   Hence dramatically reducing disposal costs.
