CT 499 from Chemtool Inc. is a uniquely formulated metalworking fluid that is based upon synthetic ester technologies that does not contain chlorine or sulfur. CT 499 is particularly well-suited for cut-off operations where fluid misting application/near dry lubricants are utilized. The superb lubrication properties of CT 499 allows for extended tool and cut-off saw life while depositing only a minimal residual film.

CT 499 is particularly effective as a saw lube for aluminum billets and extrusions for both cast and regular aluminum alloys as well as most nonferrous metals. CT 499 exhibits favorable physical properties (low odor, clear appearance and low misting properties) which quickly gains operator acceptance. CT 499 is also designed for use on copper, brass and all yellow metals.

CT 499 Benefits:

Outstanding lubrication based upon blend of synthetic esters

Contains no sulfur nor chlorine

Contains nonferrous corrosion inhibitor

Low odor and transparent appearance for worker acceptance

Low viscosity ideal for misting applications

High flash point Low smoking characteristics

Low V.O.C. value of only 0.4 grams per liter Low pour point ideal for varying use environments

Ideal for utilization on all nonferrous metals
