Hello all,

I have an operator using Accu Lube Gel Paste on grinding discs and cut off wheels. It is a lubricant that increases the longevity of the discs, and overall makes the process faster and easier. However, after reading the SDS, it states that we should not be using it on materials that are strong oxidizers (we are working with aluminum).

Does anyone know of any aluminum friendly cutting gels or anything along those lines? The goal is to find something that will help the operator by increasing the life on discs and helping the wheel cut with ease while not introducing anything into the material that can cause any defects.

Thank you.
