Thread: lathe cutting fluid.

05/01/2020 12:00:21

Hello everyone

I have been reading all the replies as to long term life of water based coolant and the growth of bacteria. Having worked in the automotive and aerospace industry all my working life, this is not a new problem even with up to date coolants. As was mentioned in an earlier thread the use of neat cutting oil is probably the best solution. If anyone is interested as to the health problems caused by soluble cutting fluids and airborne solubles,go onto the internet and search for Rover Power Train coolant health problems. This became quiet serious and actually helped change the law regarding the use of these coolants. There is a paper written by a leading professor of Birmingham University Hospital who set up a working medical ward at Power Train to monitor and assess the long term effects of the airborne particulates and bacteria present in the cutting fluids.

I was actually one of the people affected by the coolant mist and was subjected to tests, luckily i was passed ok, some less fortunate souls ended up with long term industrial asthma and alveolitis.
