Hysol XF extends sump life, reduces
costs
Hysol XF is developed for general and arduous machining applications, especially where high pressure delivery systems and soft water conditions may lead to foaming and other environmental problems
Castrol Hysol XF is developed for general and arduous machining applications, especially where high pressure delivery systems and soft water conditions may lead to foaming and other environmental problems High performance lubricity and extreme pressure additives also provide excellent tool life and surface finish; and the combination of a chlorine-free formulation and an advanced bio-stability package ensures longer sump life, lower maintenance and significantly reduced disposal costs

Hysol XF was originally formulated for the Castrol global aerospace manufacturing customers, and in competitive trials at Stork Fokker solved serious fungus and bacteria problems and was the only fluid that didn't foam.
With the fungus, bacteria and foaming problems eliminated, consumption has reduced dramatically.
Also, where previously Stork Fokker had employed up to five people just to change the cutting fluid and clean and empty machine sumps (some daily!), Hysol XF only needs changing every two to three years or longer and only two people are needed for the job.
Machine maintenance and downtime has also been reduced and it is estimated that Hysol XF is achieving overall savings of between 40 and 50%.
Other industries have now adopted this versatile, semi synthetic metalworking fluid, which is proving ideal for use in heavy duty machining applications such as reaming, drilling, turning and grinding, with materials such as ferrous metals, aluminium, copper and titanium.
