Description:

CASTROL BLANK WASH LV is a mineral oil based metal stamping fluid. It is pale amber in colour with low viscosity and low odour. It is a blend of high performance extreme pressure additives in a fully solvent refined paraffinic mineral oil.
CASTROL BLANK WASH LV is blended to a viscosity designed to give maximum wetting and flushing in Automotive Wash rollers whilst maintaining lubricity for stamping operations. 

Application:

CASTROL BLANK WASH LV is specially formulated for use in wash-roller units as a dual purpose washing and lubricating fluid. It contains additives to break down and release soils, greases and particulates leaving a clean blank prior to stamping.
Once in the press CASTROL BLANK WASH LV provides excellent lubricity and metal flow, resulting in clean, blemish-free skin panels. It is of sufficiently low viscosity to allow for easy filtration through cartridge filtration units.
