Casting Wax Spures 1584 is a medium wax, offering ample flexibility and sufficient rigidity making this wax particularly suited for making sprues. Sprues are soft and pliable wax extrusions used in lost wax casting for gating and runner systems. Sprues form a mount for the wax pattern and create a channel for the elimination of wax. They form a channel for the entry of molten metal, providing a reservoir to compensate for alloy shrinkage.

GHO-5555 is medium viscosity high performance shaving and hobbing oil. GHO-5555 contains an oiliness additive for additional performance, especially on draggy, soft metals. It is designed primarily for gear hobbing, form grinding, and gear cutting where pressurized coolant systems are used.

ASTRO-MIST A is an oil-free nitrite-free water-extendable grinding fluid concentrate. This product contains wetting agents for superior cooling and corrosion inhibitors for in-process rust protection of machine tools and metal parts. It offers excellent performance in most grinding operations on cast iron, steel, and most non-ferrous metals except magnesium.

Premium Rose – Light Cut (higher color) Typically used in Metal & Metal Substitute Finishing to polish and finish light soft metals, paints and plastics.

Air Float Rose - Low Cut (higher color) Typically used as a Fine polish, usually used after Once Ground or Double Ground.

J-Cut MO-240-EP is a heavy duty lubricant formulated for the machining and sawing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The high film strength of J-Cut MO-240-EP in conjunction with non-chlorinated extreme pressure additives, provides excellent performance on difficult to machine alloys such as stainless steel and exotic alloys. Based on renewable resources, J-Cut MO-240-EP is biodegradable and essentially non-toxic.

ATP® 134 is borosilicate glass with excellent lubricating and heat retention properties used in extrusion operations.

Cream 30 – Extremely Light Cut (mirror color) Typically used in Metal Finishing to polish and finish very soft metals, aluminum, stainless, chrome, brass, paints and small ornament pieces, coins, etc.

Hercules EP 8 is an extreme pressure industrial gear oil fulfills the requirements of DIN 51517-3 for CLP type gear oils and U.S. Steel 224 performance. Hercules EP 8 offers good wear protection, safety against scuffing, aging resistance and a high thermal endurance. In addition, the product behave neutral towards conventional seals and bearing metals.

ASTRO-SOL N is a soluble oil concentrate designed to be extended with water for the machining and grinding of virtually all metals except magnesium. When diluted, this product appears as an opaque liquid and when concentrated, it is dark amber in color.

Rose 30 – Extremely Light Cut (mirror color) Typically used in Metal Finishing to polish and finish very soft metals, aluminum, stainless, chrome, brass, paints and small ornament pieces, coins, etc.
