Castrol Ilocut 11 is a high performance, highly chlorinated neat cutting oil, free from sulphur and heavy metals. It has been developed to deliver maximum machining performance in the most demanding operations, especially broaching and gear manufacturing of steels and difficult nickel alloys.
Applications
- Heavy-duty broaching operations
- Gear manufacturing of steels and stainless steels
- Machining of steels, stainless steels and difficult nickel alloys
- Compatible with non-ferrous metals
Typical use according to product data
- Core product for broaching and gear manufacturing where highest EP performance is required
- High-load operations with severe tool stress
- Applications demanding excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy
Advantages
- Advanced additive technology provides very high extreme pressure (EP) lubricity
- Helps to lower production costs through extended tool life
- Improved surface finish and increased cutting speeds support process efficiency
- High EP lubricity reduces temperature build-up and smoke, improving operator acceptance
- Multi-metal machining enables product consolidation
- Low odour, light colour and low mist promote a better working environment
Directions for use
- Use Ilocut 11 neat; do not dilute with water.
- Suitable for central systems and individual machines designed for high EP neat oils.
- Check seal and paint compatibility before introduction.
- Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
FAQ – Castrol Ilocut 11
What is Ilocut 11 mainly used for?
Ilocut 11 is mainly used for heavy-duty broaching and gear manufacturing of steels, stainless steels and difficult nickel alloys.
Does Ilocut 11 contain sulphur or heavy metals?
No. The product is highly chlorinated but sulphur- and heavy metal free.
Can Ilocut 11 be used on non-ferrous metals?
Yes, Ilocut 11 is compatible with non-ferrous metals according to the product data sheet.
How does high EP performance help in production?
High EP performance reduces tool wear and cutting temperatures, lowers smoke generation and allows higher cutting speeds, helping to reduce overall production costs.
Is Ilocut 11 suitable for central systems?
Yes, provided the system is designed for high performance, chlorinated neat cutting oils and has appropriate filtration.
