Product Applications
  • Focus InhibitR AL is designed to be used in soluble oil, semi-synthetic, and synthetic metalworking fluids.
  • Recommended treat rates of Focus InhibitR AL in concentrates range from 0.5% to 3%, depending on the particular machining operation, fluid type, pH of fluid, and dilution rates of the finished fluid in water. This additive is supplied in an acid form that may need to be neutralized or used in combination with a coupling agent for use in some semi-synthetic and synthetic metalworking fluids.
