The microbiology of metalworking fluids
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2012Metalworking fluids (MWFs) are complex mixtures of chemicals and are indispensable materials in industry. They are used as cooling and lubricating agents in different machining process such as grinding, milling, and cutting. The quality of MWFs is affected by physical, chemical, and microbial contaminates.

Analysis of allergens in metalworking fluids
Contact Dermatitis, 2008Background: Metalworking fluids (MWFs) are well‐known causes of occupational contact dermatitis in machinists.Objective: To gain information about skin sensitizers in MWFs and to compare it with the information in safety data sheets (SDSs).Methods: A total of 17 samples of MWF concentrates were analysed for skin sensitizers known or suspected to be ...

Metalworking fluids and nitrosamines
Tribology International, 1984Abstract The USA Environmental Protection Agency has issued a regulation prohibiting the use of nitrite in any cutting fluid containing a triethanolamine salt of a tricarboxylic acid. This is the first time that the Agency has placed any restriction on the composition of cutting fluids.

Metalworking Fluids and the Skin
1989An epidemiological study was performed to estimate the extent of occupational skin problems in metalworkers. In 9 factories, 286 metalworkers were investigated. Skin problems of hands and forearms were common. Exposure to soluble oils caused minor and major skin disease far more often than exposure to neat oils (62% and 25%, respectively ...

Determinants of Metals Exposure to Metalworking Fluid Among Metalworkers in Taiwan
Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health, 2013Metalworking fluids (MWFs) aerosols are known to have carcinogenic potential to humans that monitoring of MWFs is necessary to reduce risks. This study summarizes biological monitoring and occupational hygiene findings from a survey of metalworkers exposed to heavy metals in a socket manufacturing plant.

Metalworking Fluids and Malignant Melanoma in Autoworkers
Epidemiology, 2011Occupational exposure to mineral oil-based metalworking fluids has been consistently linked with skin conditions such as contact dermatitis and squamous cell skin cancer, especially of the scrotum. We examined the incidence of malignant melanoma in a study of autoworkers.We followed a cohort of autoworkers from 1985 through 2004 for cancer incidence ...

The Chemistry of Metalworking Fluids
2017Metalworking fluid formulations are relatively complex compared with other lubricants because they must provide multiple functions when used. The main types of metalworking fluids used in metal removal fluids and metalforming fluids are straight or neat oils, emulsifiable oils, semisynthetic fluids, and synthetic fluids.

Unconventional metalworking fluids
Industrial Lubrication and Tribology, 2003Outlines the increasing use of unconventional metalworking fluids as one of the measures necessary for manufacturing industries to take to maintain their competitiveness, focusing on Germany. Notes environmental concerns and describes the use of base fluids, additives and the testing compatibility with machine tool elements.

The irritant effect of different metalworking fluids
Contact Dermatitis, 1994The irritant effect of different water‐based cutting fluids (CFs) on the skin was investigated in healthy subjects (n= 10) using 2 non‐invasive bioengineering methods. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) was measured by an evaporimeter EP1 (Servo Med), skin blood flow (SBF) was recorded with a laser Doppler flowmeter (MBF 3D, Moor Instruments England ...
