M 251 is an environmentally harmless, minimal foaming, soluble in water, and rust inhibitor for synthesised cutting fluids.

It protects copper, carbon steel, galvanised steel, nonferrous and ferrous metals, and alloys from corrosion. M 251 protects both vapour and contact vapour phases from corrosion during & after operations.

M 251 is suitable with various water-based lubricants and a variety of biocides. It is stable with seawater, making it suitable for usage in offshore environments.
