I am not familiar with the particular brand, but I use coolants based
on the metal I am working on.

If there is no big warning, then I would assume that the stuff you
buy at your local supply house is fine.

the viscosity has to be such that it can be sprayed.
the acidic/caustic levels have to be such that they do not attack
metals or most plastics or O-rings.
the lubracation has to have some form of rust preventitive.

other than those common properties, the differences as far as I have
seen are much like engine oil, some small recipe changes but pretty
much the same with a few exotic stuff (spelled expensive) stuff.
