Description
Castrol HoniloTM 500 is a neat lapping fluid, which is designed for wet lapping operations to support abrasive powders in
suspension for long periods without sedimentation.
Honilo 500 is of a thixotropic nature, which implies a comparatively high viscosity under static conditions, but it thins down
rapidly under mechanical working, i.e. immediately when the lapping machine is set in motion. Consequently there Is no
appreciable time lag before the mixture of oil and abrasive attain maximum working fluidity.
Application
Castrol Honilo 500 has been specially formulated to mix with silicon carbide abrasives (normally of grit size 320) in the
ratio varying from 1:1 to 1:2 (Honilo 500: Silicon Carbide), and is specially recommended for lapping of various bevel and
hypoid gears. It is also used for flat tapping of stellited
rings with diamond abrasives.
Advantages
Very high degree of surface finish on both internal & external lap surfaces.
Reduced energy requirements as it liquefies even under slight pressure.
Excellent anti-setting properties.
