TRUEGARD SYNCOOL 428 is a heavy duty water based cutting fluid concentrate. When diluted properly, TRUEGARD SYNCOOL 428 is suitable for most machining operations on ferrous and nonferrous metals. Outstanding lubricity combines with the superior cooling power of a chemical coolant.

TRUEGARD SYNCOOL 428 utilizes a unique combination of extreme pressure additives to prevent welding at the tool point. This immediately reduces heat generation and improve surface finish. This chemical lubricity permits the chips to slide easily over the tool at the chip-tool interface. This reduces friction and thus heat generation.

TRUEGARD SYNCOOL 428 also reduces surface tension, allowing the coolant to thoroughly wet all machining surfaces. This increases the rate of heat removal, allowing the tool and work to remain cooler. Better tool life is readily achieved.

TRUEGARD SYNCOOL 428 contains the latest development in fungicides to ensure long coolant life and productivity. TRUEGARD SYNCOOL 428 is inherently low foaming. This precludes the use of silicone defoamers which can cause fish-eyeing on steel surfaces. Other defoamers which leave a heavy cream on the coolant surface are also unnecessary. TRUEGARD SYNCOOL 428 is a technologically advanced product for the modern machine shop.

 

  • Refractometer Factor: 3.6



    Frequently asked questions

    Find answers to common questions about our products and services
    • Syncool 428 is suitable for use on both ferrous and nonferrous metals, making it broadly applicable across a wide range of machining operations in a typical machine shop environment.

    • Syncool 428 is a concentrate that must be properly diluted with water before use - it is not applied straight from the drum. Refer to the product data sheet for specific dilution ratios appropriate to your machining application.

    • A refractometer factor of 3.6 means you multiply your refractometer's Brix reading by 3.6 to calculate the actual coolant concentration percentage in your sump. This allows you to accurately monitor and maintain the working concentration over time, ensuring consistent performance and avoiding under- or over-dilution.

    • Silicone-based defoamers can cause fish-eyeing defects on steel surfaces, while other heavy defoamers leave a cream residue on the coolant that complicates sump maintenance. Because Syncool 428 is inherently low foaming, neither type of defoamer is needed, helping protect surface finish quality and keeping the coolant sump cleaner.

    • The product uses a combination of extreme pressure additives to prevent welding at the tool point and reduce friction at the chip-tool interface, lowering heat generation. It also reduces surface tension so the coolant thoroughly wets machining surfaces, increasing the rate of heat removal and allowing both the tool and workpiece to stay cooler - directly contributing to better tool life and improved surface finish.

    • Syncool 428 incorporates the latest development in fungicides specifically to inhibit microbial growth, which is a primary cause of coolant breakdown, foul odors, and reduced productivity. This helps extend coolant service life and maintain consistent performance in long-running machining operations.
