For what it's worth, David here's a description of another version: LINK https://www.ryeoil.co.uk/shop/neatcut-fe22/ " Neatcut FE22 is a neat cutting oil formulated with sylphurised ester additives using solvent refined base oil. Used in general machining operations on low and medium tensile steels. " I'm sure the full facts must be out there somewhere ... MichaelG.
