Coolants and anti-corrosion agents for perfect metallographic sample preparation

Optimum cooling is essential during cutting. Excessive heat generation during the cutting process damages the specimen as well as the cutting wheel. QPREP coolant and anti-corrosion agent help to dissipate the heat and remove chips at the cutting point. A corrosion inhibitor must be added to the coolant, otherwise there is a risk of oxidation on the cut-off surface of the specimen as well as on machine components.

Product Advantages

• QPREP coolant and anti-corrosion agent are suitable for all types of cut-off machines
• QPREP ATM CoolCut is known for its environmentally and user-friendly handling
• QPREP coolant and anti-corrosion agent minimize the risk of thermal damage and corrosion during the cutting process

Recommended applications

• Cutting additive for all and especially corrosive sensitive materials
• When cutting coated samples that have been coated in a salt bath, the QPREP Defoamer should be used
• For cutting polymers and composites, the use of the QPREP coolant and anti-corrosion agent for plastics and composites is recommended
• QPREP ATM-CoolAdd CU is an additive to the cooling lubricant for specific requirements when cutting specific materials
