APPLICATIONS
Shell Sitala CE 3402 is a high quality, soluble oil designed for machining operations of steel and Aluminium
alloys.
The product contains EP and lubricity additives, which make it suitable for severe machining operations,
which require a high-level of surface finishing.
Shell Sitala CE 3402 has been developed to be used at high pressure, for operations using tools with internal
cooling as deep hole drilling, boring, milling, also in MAPAL reaming high amount of lubrication will be
provided.
The product provides an excellent biostability and due to its high level of detergency, exposed machine parts
and work pieces are kept very clean.
Proposed Concentrations
Percentage of use varies due to the average machining operations, the hardness of water, the required work
pieces protection, etc... The percentage of use with average hardness of water is usually:
• General turning and machining : 4-6%
• Grinding : 4-6%
• Severe cutting operations : 6 - 10 %
• High stock removal grinding, creep feed grinding
and tool sharpening : 7 - 15 %
• Extremely sever machining operations
with high surface finish : 8 - 15 %
REMARKS
-Preparation of an emulsion:
Shell Sitala CE 3402 has a natural tendency to dissolve and disperse quickly in water when an emulsion is
prepared whether manually or by a blending device. When the dilution is made by hand, we recommend the
addition of the product to water (not vice versa) to give a greater possibility of even dispersion in the liquid
mass.
The above operation, if carried out slowly and under continuous stirring, will give a highly stable emulsion,
assuring the best performance of the coolant.
Blending is also possible using suitable mixing devices (whether of the suction or the positive displacement
type). We do recommend checking from time to time the setting and performance of such systems.
