CIMTAP paste

**CIMTAP – paste for drilling and thread cutting**

**What is CIMTAP?**
CIMTAP is a special high-performance water-soluble paste developed for drilling and thread cutting.
It serves as a modern cooling and lubricating agent that significantly extends tool life, improves the quality of the machined surface, and makes the work itself easier.
Thanks to its consistency, it is suitable for both manual use and machine applications.

**Where is it used?**
CIMTAP paste is ideal for cooling and lubrication during:
drilling holes,
thread cutting,
other operations requiring reduced friction and heat dissipation.

It can be used on a wide range of materials—from steel, stainless steel, and nickel alloys to aluminum, brass, and copper.
It is not suitable only for magnesium and its alloys.

**Why use CIMTAP?**
Metal machining always puts high stress on tools.
CIMTAP solves this by:
reducing friction between the tool and the workpiece,
effectively dissipating heat and preventing overheating,
significantly extending the life of drill bits and taps,
being suitable for threading operations,
preventing clogging of drill and tap flutes with chips,
ensuring clean and precise threads,
making work easier for the operator.

A major advantage is also easy removal—just rinse with water or an alkaline cleaner.

**How to use it?**
CIMTAP can be applied in several ways:
Directly on the tool – by brushing or dipping (without dilution).
For spraying – solution 1:2 (50%) to 1:4 (25%) with water.
On machines – repeated use with dilution 1:20 (5%) to 1:30 (3.3%) with water, or by adding it to a CIMCOOL mixture.

**Main advantages**
Universal use for various materials.
Significantly extends the life of drill bits and taps.
Suitable for threading operations.
Reduces friction and temperature during machining.
Prevents clogging of flutes with chips.
Clean, precise, and high-quality threads.
Easy application and removal.
Suitable for both direct and multi-level use.

**Conclusion**
CIMTAP is a reliable and efficient helper for anyone working with drilling and thread cutting.
It improves work quality, protects tools, prevents chip removal issues, and significantly increases productivity.
It is therefore an excellent choice for professionals as well as demanding industrial applications.
