Emulsifiers ensure that all components of water-miscible metalworking fluids remain evenly distributed in the liquid during use. This is the only way to fully benefit from the friction-reducing properties of oils and the excellent cooling performance of water, allowing both …

Why Economy, Ecology, and Social Responsibility Must Be Seen as a Unified Whole in Industry In the 1990s, the concept of the “sustainability triangle” gained traction in environmental discussions.  It was particularly influential in the chemical industry, which contributed valuable …

Where Are Forming Lubricants Used? Forming includes those manufacturing processes in which tools apply significant external forces to deliberately change the contours of materials. A prerequisite is the close interaction between material and tools, which enables force transmission while also …

Tube drawing is a critical manufacturing process that creates precise, high-quality metal tubes used in everything from automotive parts to construction materials. The process transforms stock materials into finished tubes with precise dimensions. The starting materials are typically steel hollow …

Coagulants cause coating particles in wastewater to join together into micro-flocs and allow them to be separated during further treatment. Read here about where wastewater is generated during painting processes, how detackification works, what requirements detackification agents must meet, and …

Everything You Need to Know About the Process Flocculation is a process in which very small solid particles, finely dispersed in a liquid, clump together into loose aggregates. The fluid and flocs can then be separated with minimal effort. Read …

Since the mid-19th century, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have steadily increased. With industrialization and rising carbon dioxide emissions, concentrations have surged from an average of 280 ppm (parts per million, a unit measuring the concentration of gases in …

« The Importance of Surface Treatment for Equipment Efficiency » In common terminology, the phrase “maintenance and servicing of machinery and equipment” is frequently used. Strictly speaking, servicing is a broader category that includes maintenance. The latter ensures continuous trouble-free …
