USAGE RECOMMENDATION
SMART CUT® Water Soluble Coolant Usage Recommendations
Operator- and environmentally-friendly, SMART CUT® Water Soluble Coolant contains no oils, silicones, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and completely water-soluble, making it ideal for use in clean rooms, research laboratories, and production environments where safety and cleanliness are critical. Unlike traditional oil-based coolants, it leaves no sticky residues and rinses off easily with water, reducing cleanup time and keeping equipment and work surfaces clean.
The non-foaming nature of this coolant makes it especially well-suited for high-speed and automated equipment, ensuring consistent fluid flow and uninterrupted machining operations. It maintains stable operating conditions even under demanding loads, and is compatible with virtually all types of precision diamond machining equipment, including low-speed saws, dicing saws, CNC systems, wafering machines, and high-speed polishing and grinding equipment.
Designed to deliver measurable improvements in productivity and performance, SMART CUT® Water Soluble Coolant can improve cutting, drilling, grinding, & machining performance by 10% to 50% or more, depending on the material being processed, the type of tooling used, and the condition of the previous coolant. These improvements can include faster cutting speeds, reduced chipping and subsurface damage, longer tool life, and greater consistency across batches and setups.
Plain water has a boiling point of 212°F, but temperatures within the cutting zone often exceed 500°F. At such high temperatures, water evaporates before it can effectively cool the diamond wheel and material, resulting in reduced tool life, material damage, and the formation of microcracks due to overheating. While water may cool diamond and CBN tools, it lacks the lubrication properties necessary for optimal performance in cutting, slicing, dicing, drilling, grinding, and polishing operations.
SMART CUT® Advanced Materials Formula Coolant is a premium, water-soluble synthetic coolant specifically designed for a wide range of advanced materials and applications, including:
-
Carbon Fiber Composites
-
Graphene
-
Titanium Alloys
-
High-Temperature Ceramics
-
Silicon Carbide (SiC)
-
Gallium Arsenide (GaAs)
-
Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD)
-
Zirconia (ZrO2)
-
Quartz and Silicon Wafers
-
Advanced Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC)
This formula is similar in composition to the SMART CUT® General Materials Formula, but it is specifically engineered with a higher ratio of active ingredients. This increased concentration is essential for handling the extreme demands of cutting and machining advanced materials that experience higher temperatures and greater resistance to machining forces. The higher concentration of coolant and lubricant components improves heat dissipation and friction reduction, which are critical for maintaining tool performance and ensuring the integrity of delicate materials.
Why is this important?
Advanced materials, such as carbon fiber composites and high-temperature ceramics, often have unique properties like extreme hardness, heat resistance, and complex microstructures. These materials generate more heat during cutting and require enhanced cooling and lubrication to prevent premature tool wear, cracking, and material degradation. The higher ingredient ratio in the Advanced Materials Formula provides superior cooling, lubrication, and swarf dispersion, significantly improving cutting efficiency, tool life, and cut quality, especially when working with these challenging materials.
How it Works
When added to deionized (DI) water, SMART CUT® Advanced Materials Formula Coolant works effectively to reduce material thermal stress, edge damage, and internal cracking, preserving the integrity of the material being processed. As both a coolant and lubricant, SMART CUT® benefits both the diamond tools and the material, ensuring that the cutting process remains smooth, efficient, and high-quality.

SMART CUT® Coolants Helps Manufacturers and R & D Labs
-
Reduces Surface Tension - by 25-40 dynes/cm2. SMART CUT® Coolant allows more water into the material kerf / pores, dissipating heat generated by friction.
-
Bonds Water Molecules - into the kerf and to the diamond tool, allowing better swarf dispersion and lubrication.
-
Prevent Swarf Accumulation - on the diamond tool and in Back and frontside edges, minimizing chipping and internal cracking.
-
Extend Diamond & CBN Blade, Drill, Wheel, & Tool Life - by up to 30%. The lubricated blade / diamond tool runs cooler, reducing metal fatigue and blade / diamond tool wear.
-
Improve Material Yield and Reliability - from the reduced amount of chipping, cracking and consequent edge damage.
-
Eliminate Additional Material Processing - Depending on the application and your objectives, SMART CUT® Coolant frequently eliminates and minimizes secondary and subsequent material processing.
-
Improved Machining Tolerances - Many of today’s demanding advanced material applications provide challenges to advanced material manufacturers and R & D facilities. Obtaining tolerances less than a millionths of an inch, is not uncommon. SMART CUT® Coolant promotes attainment of close tolerances by removing heat generated at the point of contact between the tool and work piece. Heat can cause deformations in both the tool and work piece that results in the loss of tolerance. When the generation of heat and its subsequent removal by a coolant is momentarily interrupted any coolant product will adversely affect the performance of a tool and therefore ruin a tolerance specification.
TOP 10 REASONS Why SMART CUT® Coolant is SUPERIOR
1. Operator Sensitivity - SMART CUT® Coolant is formulated with operator friendly additives that will not irritate skin (dermatitis), nasal passages, or eyes.
2. Bio-resistance - SMART CUT® Coolant is formulated with biocides and fungicides to biologically control the growth of bacteria, fungi, and mold in the coolant system. The bio-resistance will determine its suitability for recycling in large central systems.
3. Corrosion Protection - SMART CUT® Coolant is formulated with corrosion inhibitors, which provide protection to machinery and the substrate. The protection needed will be determined by the customers requirements. With proper concentration, no corrosion should occur on the machinery.
4. Hard Water Stability - SMART CUT® Coolant should be stable in all water conditions. Hard water ions react with coolant additives and reduce the effectiveness of the coolant solution.
5. Mixability -Concentrate SMART CUT® Coolant should mix easily or .bloom. into the water. Any difficulty in mixing will not be tolerated by the customer.
6. Foam -All water based coolants can potentially foam SMART CUT® Coolant is formulated with defoamers to prevent foaming under most conditions. The proper selection of coolant concentration will help alleviate potential problems.
7. Residue -All water based coolants can potentially foam SMART CUT® Coolant will not leave a .hard-to-remove. residue on the surface of the machine or substrates. As the water in the coolant. evaporates organic residue will be left on the machines. This residue should not be sticky and should be easily re-dissolved in water.
8. Oxidative Stability - High temperatures and pressures will cause changes in the composition of the coolant, such as fragmentation or polymerization of the additives in the coolant formulation. This can decrease the performance of the coolant and create difficult to remove deposits.
9. Emulsion Stability - Concentrate SMART CUT® Coolant mixes easily with water and should not separate or create an invert on the surface of the coolant mixture. Customers currently using soluble oils may be experiencing particular difficulties with this problem.
10. Tramp Oil Rejection - SMART CUT® Coolant should reject the tramp oils and way lubricants, which may contaminate the sump. Other coolants which do not reject tramp oils are prone to attack by bacteria and fungal organisms.
