Default Fuchs 761B coolant...any thoughts

Thought I was set to go with Trim E-906, seems like a real nice full soluble. I had had enough with semi's. They last, but...

Now I am being asked to evaluate Fuchs 761B semi-synthetic coolant. Has anyone used, any thoughts, good, bad, indifferent. We run everything except exotics. Seems to me this fluid may be overkill...

Thanks,
I'm getting tired of flushing out machines...

We have a DMG product and that (FUCHS 761) is one of the authorized coolants for the machine - the other being Blauser. The "B" is for Boeing - it meets Boeing spec for flight/space flight I assume.

We really like it. It stays clean, smells nice and does not cause skin irritation. It is not cheap.

It seems non of the better ones are cheap...thinking about it the "cheap" one we used to use isn't cheap anymore either.

The cheap one we used to use worked well on everything with a decent sump life, not half bad if you kept up with it. The they changed the formulation and we would only get 3 months on it if we skimmed regularly.
