DESCRIPTION
ASTRA/MUTI SOFT SOAP is different to normal soft soap in that it is actually a cutting and lubrication oil for shallow to medium length under ground diamond bit drilling holes. ASTRA/MUTI SOFT SOAP contains a synthetic soap to give foam formation, which helps with the removal of cuttings and thus keeps the drilling hole clean and promotes faster penetration.
