Efficient tankside treatment for metalworking fluids
Metalworking fluids are indispensable for the operation of modern machine tools such as computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines (photo). To ensure that the metalworking emulsions retain their properties during the application, they need to be protected from fungal and bacterial contamination. Vinkocide BB WM is a newly developed biocide product for the tankside addition (post-preservation) of metalworking fluids that are frequently used in the metalworking industry. Vinkocide BB WM is highly effective against molds and yeasts and shows excellent water miscibility and self-emulsification thanks to an innovative formulation. The new formulation, based on the active ingredient BBIT, is non-reactive with metals and remains stable for a long time at pH values of 7–12 and high temperatures. — Vink Chemicals GmbH & Co.
