Formulation and Testing of a Microfiltration Compatible Synthetic Metalworking Fluid

It was initially thought that no metalworking fluid could be developed to meet industry specifications and be compatible with membranes to use microfiltration to remove contaminants. However, Rajagopalan’s team developed a new formula for a metalworking fluid that met both qualifications. Their formulation was very sensitive to trace contaminants; thus the team recommended that care be taken to address these issues during any new metalworking fluid formula.Ope
