Workhorse semi-synthetic MWF — mineral oil + emulsifier blend. 5-10% dilution in water. Translucent emulsion, excellent rust protection, stable bacterial control. Used widely across Indian CNC machining + general machining operations. Compatible with all common steels + aluminium + brass.
Fully-synthetic water-based coolant — no mineral oil. 3-8% dilution. Clear / transparent solution, lower tramp-oil emulsification (easier coolant tank cleanup), longer bath life. Preferred for high-precision CNC + stainless steel machining.
Traditional soluble oil — milky emulsion at 5-10% dilution. Lower cost-per-litre, heavier mineral-oil content for cooler post-rinse part finish. Used in general fabrication + lower-precision machining where coolant-tank cleanup demands aren't critical.
Specialty synthetic for high-cutting-speed applications + difficult materials (stainless, super-alloys). Premium additive package for tool-life optimisation. Used by tier-1 auto-ancillary precision machining.
Chlorine-free EP-fortified coolant for plants with environmental + worker-safety policies. Heavy-sulphur or boric ester EP chemistry. Equivalent performance with cleaner chemistry.
Periodic concentration measurement (refractometer), pH monitoring, tramp-oil skimming guidance, bacterial-count tracking. Vasundhara supports coolant tank maintenance for major customers.
Standard property values across the range. TDS / MSDS / per-batch COA available on enquiry.

Common questions from CNC + machining operators sourcing Kixx cutting coolants through Vasundhara.
Semi-synthetic for general CNC + most production machining (best price-performance). Synthetic for high-precision + stainless / specialty material machining + applications needing better tramp-oil separation. Soluble oil for general fabrication + lower-precision where coolant-tank cleanup demands aren't critical. Match coolant chemistry to actual machining severity + cleanup economics.
Standard tool: handheld refractometer (₹2,000-5,000 unit cost). Brix reading × refractive correction factor (typically 1.0-1.5) = actual % concentration. Measure weekly minimum. Top up concentrate to maintain target % as water evaporates. Refractometer + factor calibration on Kixx datasheet.
Five practices extend bath life 2-3×: (1) tramp-oil skimming weekly (slideway oil + machine hydraulic leaks contaminate coolant); (2) pH monitoring monthly (target 9.0-9.5; pH drop below 8.5 = bacterial issue); (3) concentration control via refractometer (avoid over-dilution); (4) filtration (paper-band or magnetic for ferrous swarf); (5) bacterial-count tracking + biocide top-up. Vasundhara supports the maintenance protocol.
Yes — Kixx synthetic coolants are functional equivalents to Houghton Hocut series / Castrol Syntilo / Quaker Houghto-Drill at matched application. Cross-equivalence documentation provided. Migration typically straightforward — Vasundhara supports the changeover. Pricing typically 15-25% below imports at matched specification.
Yes — anaerobic bacterial growth (Desulfovibrio + others) produces sulphurous odour (smells like rotten eggs / sewage on Monday morning). Causes: (1) coolant pH dropped below 8.5; (2) tramp oil accumulated > 3%; (3) bacterial-count exceeded ~10⁶ cfu/mL. Fix: (a) tramp oil skim, (b) biocide shock dose, (c) concentrate top-up to restore pH, (d) consider bath replacement if heavily contaminated. Bacterial issues catch up with neglected coolant tanks.
Yes. Vasundhara coordinates monthly refractometer + pH checks + tramp-oil measurement + quarterly bacterial-count analysis for major supply customers. We help interpret results + plan top-up / drain decisions + flush-and-fill scheduling. Coolant management service is bundled with annual rate-contract supply.
