Technology has changed the world in many ways over the course of history. In some ways the changes are subtle and the impact is soft and basic. In other ways the changes are dynamic and dangerous.  Today Metalworking Fluid formulations can last for years without change and can improve the cutting tool life, but are we really sure they are equally safe for Mankind?  Until the day when all the machine tools in the world are operated by robots, we will continue to debate the safety of metalworking fluids. Even today we hear so many metalworking fluids related skin complaints.

We at MWFMAG believe in delivering education and solutions into the hands of the End Users.  This article link from Milacron provides a “Skin Treatment Cycle" for affected employees.  A worth reading technical article.  We appreciate the effort that Milacron has invested in communicating answers about this problem to end users.  We need the contributions of all MWF suppliers and formulators to provide the safest possible environment for the world's workers.
