A metalworking fluid is a complex mixture of chemicals that can damage the environment. Make sure to check out your SDS to make sure you know what the fluid can do when not used properly. Your SDS needs to be GHS compliant to meet current regulations and should guide you through use and disposal. If something alarms you on the SDS, you should contact your supplier immediately.
Another aspect of fluid chemistry is how the components affect the environment. Many additives leave a large carbon footprint and the production process can harm the environment. Additives are available that reduce the effects on the environment by employing sustainable raw materials and advanced production techniques.
Metalworking fluids do not have to harm the environment. If you would like to know more about your SDS, send us a message or call us at 562-595-8491 and ask to speak to an Account Manager.
