Product Description

M-251 is an environmentally friendly , low foaming water soluble corrosion inhibiting additive for synthetic cutting fluids. It provides corrosion protection to carbon steel, copper, galvanized steel, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals and their alloys. M-251 provides both contact and vapor phases corrosion potection during and after operation.

M-251 is compatible with most water-based lubricants and with a range of biocides. It is compatible with sea water, which allows the use of this additive in off-shore conditions.

Packaging & Storage

M-251 is available in 5 gallon (19 L) plastic pails and 55 gallon (208 L).

To ensure best product performance, store in original packaging, indoors, and out of direct sunlight at 40-100 °F (4-38 °C).
