We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Cutting Fluid",
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 Water soluble metalworking fluid meets HSE guide from
Fuchs Lubricants (UK) Plc, which we summarised at the time by saying "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".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Metal cutting coolants optimise machining from
Fuchs Lubricants (UK) Plc: "A range of coolants is designed to offer optimum machining performance and surface finish, especially when used in modern CNC machines, as well as provide the best machine cleanliness".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Jemtech (UK)
concerning its Vasco 5000 water miscible cutting fluid
- take a look at Coolant extends tool life machining titanium
which says: "The use of a water miscible cutting fluid to machine a component in Ti6AL4V titanium increased tool life ifrom 120 min to 150 min and the fluid was not prone to foaming".
Take a look also at the news release from Jemtech (UK), Meeting metal cutting fluids regulations,
as well as Cutting tools release cutting fluid at 360 bar from Iscar Tools,
and High power VMC offers CNC systems choice from Dugard.
