Castrol Ilocut® 5720 Chlorine-Replacement Cutting & Grinding Oil
Description
Castrol Ilocut 5720 is a fully compounded, medium viscosity cutting oil that uses Castrol's chlorine replacement
technology, in combination with sulfurized extreme pressure additives and boundary lubricants, to make a versatile
general purpose machining and grinding oil for ferrous metals, stainless steels and titanium alloys. This is a clean, clear
blue-green oil that is ideal for combination operations on multi-spindle automatics and turret lathes. It is a good choice
for precision, fine finish work on centerless grinders and crush-dress form grinders where it keeps grinding wheels clean,
open and free-cutting for maximum rates of stock removal and economical grinding ratios. Because Ilocut 5720 contains
active EP sulfur, copper and brass, work should be cleaned soon after machining to prevent staining.
Application
• Centerless grinding
• Drilling
• Milling
• Screw machining
• Turning
Advantages
• Chlorine replacement oil - for cost savings when disposing of parts' cleaning solutions and waste oil.
• Excellent tool life - for best finishes and minimum down-time to change cutters or dress grinding wheels.
• Versatile, medium viscosity for all-around shop use - recommended for manufacturing aerospace fasteners and
precision parts.
• Highly foam resistant - inhibited to prevent foam when used at high speeds and in high pressure applications.
• Pleasant to use - attractive, clear, blue color with clean, fresh citrus odor.
• Easy to clean off parts - with conventional mild alkaline cleaners or petroleum solvents.
