We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Coolants",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Customized tooling made for fine machining from
Kennametal UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Extending its manufacturing facility at Ruebig/Nabburg, Germany, as the competence centre for fine machining, Kennametal now offers precision reaming tools and tools for fine-boring
operations".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Water soluble metalworking fluid meets HSE guide from
Fuchs Lubricants (UK) Plc: "A water soluble metalworking fluid has been developed in response to the new Health and Safety Executive guidelines, concerning the control of bacterial contamination in used coolants".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Fuchs Lubricants (UK) Plc
concerning its Mobile Coolant Testing Kit
- take a look at Coolant testing kit checks HSE compliance
which says: "To conform with UK Health and Safety guidelines, a cutting lubricants supplier has introduced a mobile coolant testing kit for checking water soluablee fluids for bacterial contamination".
Take a look also at the news release from Fuchs Lubricants (UK) Plc, Metal cutting coolants optimise machining,
as well as Anti-corrosion primer paint resists heat from Scott Bader Company,
and Cleaner sucks up wet swarf, sludge, dust from Flextraction.
