TRUEGARD #2010 Heavy Duty coolant Soluble Oil - 5 Gallon Pail

TRUEGARD #2010 is a concentrate that should be added to water (not the other way around) to form a stable, bright white emulsion. Adding oil to water - rather than water to oil - is the standard practice for soluble oil concentrates to ensure a uniform, non-separating mix.

When checking coolant concentration with a refractometer, multiply your refractometer reading by 1.1 to get the actual concentration of TRUEGARD #2010 in the sump. This correction factor accounts for the specific optical properties of this concentrate, ensuring you maintain the correct mix ratio for your application.

The product is formulated to work with steel, copper, and aluminum alloys, with lubricity additives specifically designed to improve part finish and extend tool life across these materials.

Yes - in its undiluted form, TRUEGARD #2010 functions as a water washable stamping, punching, and drawing compound, giving it versatility beyond standard diluted coolant applications.

It is designed for a wide range of heavy duty metalworking operations including broaching, tapping, milling, drilling, turning, sawing, reaming, and grinding, making it a single-fluid solution for shops running diverse machining processes.

Strong bacterial resistance helps prevent the microbial growth that causes sump odor, rapid pH drop, and fluid degradation, which means longer coolant sump life, less frequent changeouts, and reduced maintenance burden in production environments.
