A significant part of manufacturing is still undertaken by metal removal machining processes for the creation of precision metallic parts. Modern machine tools are capable of achieving high levels of performance, but this is only achieved if all the factors involved in their operation function perfectly together as a whole. A key element in this performance is the cutting fluid but traditionally the effective application of the correct coolant can been seen as an afterthought from a process engineer perspective, and a costly nuisance for operations staff who have to manage and dispose of them in facilities.
