Hostacor IT is a pre-neutralized, low foaming corrosion inhibitor mainly used in cutting & grinding fluids, in rolling emulsions and water-based hydraulic fluids (HFA-E, HFA-S).

Hostacor IT is an excellent corrosion inhibitors for steel and show very good hard water stability. 
Hostacor IT can be used alsone or in combination with other water-soluble corrosion inhibitors or lubricants.

Application
Hostacor IT is used alone or in combination with other water-soluble corrosion inhibitors and lubricants in cutting and grinding fluids and in aqueous hydraulic systems.
The preferred application is machining of ferrous metals. 
Since Hostacor IT is a weakly alkaline alkanolamine salt, the addition of suitable inhibitors is recommended for the machining of non-ferrous metals and aluminum.

If using Hostacor IT alone, following concentrations are recommended:
Grinding: 0.5 – 0.8 %
Turning: 1.0 – 1.5%
Milling: 1.0 – 1.5%
Drilling: 1.0 – 1.5%
High frequency hardening: 0.5 – 1.0%

Foaming behavior
Hostacor IT is a low foaming product. 
Hostacor IT can normally be used without addition of defoamer. 
When making formulations based on Hostacor IT, it is important to ensure that all mixing equipment have been properly cleaned.
Traces of surfactant can result in a markedly higher tendency to foam. 
Hostacor IT is an excellent corrosion inhibitor and shows good hard water stability.
To improve lubrication and to minimize foaming, the combination of Hostacor IT with EO/PO-mixpolymers like Genapol B, Genapol PN 30 or Genapol PS is recommended.

Suitable mixing ratio:
10 – 50 % Genapol B, Genapol PN 30 or Genapol PS
90 – 50 % Hostacor IT

Storage behaviour
Hostacor IT darkens during storage, the color changes to red brown. 
This does not affect the application properties of Hostacor IT.
Hostacor IT is sensitive to frost. 
If the product becomes opaque, thick, or frozen due to the effect of cold, it can slowly be thawed at room temperature and used again after short stirring.
Maximum storage time: 2 years
