Metalworking fluid is a liquid that functions both as a coolant and a lubricant in metalworking processes. These chemicals are often referred to as coolant or metal coolant and can also be called cutting fluid because they can be used in metal cutting processes.

Coolant solutions used in grinding processes sometimes produce unpleasant odors due to bacterial growth in the storage tank and the indoor working environment.

Solution

To address this odor problem, Eonchemicals offers a solution by conducting a trial with the product EonTrim SC310. This product is a grinding coolant containing antibacterial agents and corrosion inhibitors, making it resistant to bacteria and rust. Its features and benefits include:

• Compatible with various types of workpiece materials
• Eliminates issues of “hot chip” and “clinkering”
• Keeps machines clean by leaving an easily removable film layer
• Excellent sump life and low operational costs
• Does not produce smoke, making it more operator-friendly
• Highly effective and free from sulfur or chlorine
• Does not contain nitrites, heavy metals, or phenolic compounds
• Easy to recycle or dispose of

Success Story

An automotive company once experienced an unpleasant odor problem with the coolant solution they were using. Eonchemicals provided a solution with the EonTrim SC310 product following these procedures:

• Drain and clean the existing coolant in the storage tank
• Add water to the tank first, then add EonTrim SC310, and stir until homogeneous
• Measure the concentration using a refractometer until it reaches 3%
• Observe the odor produced during the grinding process for 30 days
• Monitor and maintain the concentration at the 3% level

Trial Results

During the 30-day trial, the EonTrim SC310 solution did not produce a foul odor (no bacterial growth), whereas the existing product began to smell bad by the third day. Other observations showed that EonTrim SC310 did not cause irritation to users in the field.

Conclusion

EonTrim SC310 is a grinding coolant that can effectively and safely address unpleasant odors in the grinding process of cutting blades.
