Castrol Ilocut 330 is a high-performance neat cutting oil based on highly refined mineral oils – formulated without chlorinated paraffins. It is specifically designed for general machining of high-alloy steels and is particularly suitable for broaching and gear cutting of medium-alloy steels. Due to its active sulfur content, the product is not recommended for non-ferrous metals.
Applications
- General machining of high-alloy steels
- Broaching and gear cutting of medium-alloy steels
- Suitable materials: cast iron, low- and medium-alloy steels, high-alloy steels / nickel-chromium alloys, titanium alloys, aluminum alloys (see product datasheet for details)
- Typical operations: drilling, grinding, general machining, broaching / gear cutting
Benefits
- Excellent EP performance due to advanced additive technology – longer tool life
- Very good lubricating and cooling properties for improved surface finish
- Chlorine-free formulation – easier disposal and compliance with regulations
- Stable performance even in demanding machining operations
Directions for use
- Use neat, do not dilute
- Not suitable for non-ferrous metals (active sulfur)
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
Technical data (typical values)
- Viscosity @ 40 °C: approx. 23 mm²/s
- Density @ 15 °C: approx. 0.85 g/ml
- Flash point: > 200 °C
- Copper corrosion (3 h / 100 °C): 4c
