Fluid problem solved

By developing a new generation of bactericide-free cutting fluids, Henkel is reported to have succeeded in banishing the drawback of emulsions splitting in use and the related bad odour nuisance. These new emulsions are said to have proved themselves in industrial practice.

After intensive development work, Henkel formulated a microbiologically robust cutting fluid that contains no bactericides (such as formaldehyde splitters), and does not need any later addition of bactericides to keep it stable. The new product is suitable for many different kinds of machining - from roughing to grinding.
