Applications
Shell Dromus BA is high mineral oil containing soluble for easy to medium duty machining, including grinding, on a wide variety of materials including as well ferrous as non-ferrous metals.
Recommended Concentrations
The concentration varies depending on the type of machining operation, the water hardness and the required inter-operational corrosion protection. The recommended concentration for use in medium water hardness is:
General machinig: 6 – 8%
Heavy duty machining: 8-12%
