Metalworking, one of the most important industry segments, is known for its continuous improvement of the production process. The ever increasing demand for high quality products requires a constant and flexible automation of the metalworking processes and introduction of numerically controlled machines as well as new materials for tools and fluids for cooling. All these developments have led to faster machines, higher permissible cutting temperatures and faster cutting speeds.
Metalworking industry uses huge quantity of cooling fluids and the health aspects of working with these fluids are as important as the need for tools and metal cutting fluids to have a long service life.
