The installation of a coolant re-cycling system 10 years ago acted as a springboard for the establishment of a USA based coolant specialist's first overseas subsidiary.
The installation of the UK's first Master Chemical coolant re-cycling system in the manufacturing plant of BICC Components (now BICCGeneral) 10 years ago acted as a springboard for the establishment of the USA based coolant specialist's first overseas subsidiary Since that time Master Chemical Europe has established itself in its UK headquarters in Needham Market, Ipswich, Suffolk with a team of 12 sales and technical support personnel servicing customers both in the UK and Europe

Coolant cleans up surface and edge grinding
Cleaner machine tools, prolonged coolant life and lower operating costs are three main benefits experienced by Stanley Tools since making the switch to TRIM C270 synthetic grinding coolant.
"The principles of re-cycling, the elimination of waste and optimising coolant performance have proved highly successful for Master Chemical in the USA and in the past decade we have continued to mirror that performance in Europe," explains Master Chemical Europe's Director of Technical Services, Graham Venn.
"Against a background of increasing legislation to ensure safe and correct disposal of industrial waste along with the constraints of the environmental protection act and newer legislation such as the land fill tax, manufacturers are becoming increasingly aware of the financial benefits of re-cycling." "A decade ago, companies were disposing of literally hundreds of barrels of used coolant a month.
That scenario is now changing rapidly against a background of greatly increased environmental awareness and the harsh realities of the costs and potential penalties associated with disposal." "Systems such as Master Chemical offers are increasingly proving a worthwhile investment with the pay-back sometimes achievable in months rather than years in reduced coolant usage and waste dispoal costs." "Technically, Master Chemical has always been a market leader producing base coolants and bespoke additives that maintain coolant in the best of condition while providing optimum metal cutting conditions across the widest range of materials and machining environments." "We have ten years of success to build on along with a vast library of knowledge and applications experience - for Master Chemical the future looks very promising." he concludes.
