CRC Trefolex CDT Cutting Oil 300g

CRC Trefolex CDT Cutting Oil is a cutting, drilling and thread cutting lubricant for use on all types of metal, supplied as a 300g aerosol (CRC product number 3063). It is extreme pressure resistant, to increase tool life and improve cutting, with a viscosity modifier that gives extra cling so it can be used at any angle.

It suits critical machining in Machinability Group 1 (except operations such as deep drilling where a low viscosity oil is required) and for less critical operations in Machinability Group 2. The aerosol is classified as extremely flammable; the hazard details are below.

Using it

Directions: read all directions and warnings before using. Shake the can well before using. Coat the area, ensuring total coverage, to give maximum lubrication.

Use the extension tube in hard to reach areas and for spot lubrication.

Storage and handling

Do not puncture, incinerate or store above 50°C. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area below 50°C.

Limits and safety

Classified as hazardous under Safe Work Australia criteria. Signal word Danger. H222: extremely flammable aerosol. H229: pressurised container, may burst if heated. Transport: UN 1950, AEROSOLS, Class 2.1. Flash point below 23°C for the aerosol with propellant; the higher flash points are for the oil without propellant. Not classified as a health or environmental hazard. Not for operations such as deep drilling where a low viscosity oil is required. Aerosol cans will conduct electricity, so keep them away from live electrical sources such as battery terminals, solenoids and electrical panels. Read the safety data sheet before use.
