A water-based, recyclable metalworking fluid comprises a polyalkylene glycol, an alkanolamine, a polyglycol surfactant, a polyol surfactant, a biocide and a corrosion inhibitor. The biocide may comprise a mixture of biocidal compounds effective against bacterial and fungal organisms. The material may also include an isoalkoxy amine oxide and a glycol ether. The composition may also include ancillary ingredients such as viscosity controlling agents, defoamers, coloring agents and the like. It is a notable feature of the composition of the present invention that it is free of hazardous materials and fatty acids. Also disclosed is a method for using the composition in a metal-shaping operation.

Water-based metal working fluid

Disclosed is a process of recycling and reusing an aqueous degreasing solution for further use as a component of a coolant solution which is itself recycled and reused in metal cutting machines. Also disclosed is a method of degreasing parts, and a degreasing apparatus which is controlled such that an appropriate amount of the aqueous degreasing solution is introduced into the coolant solution. Finally, disclosed herein is a method and system for preparing a coolant in which an aqueous degreasing solution is further utilized as a feeder solution for a coolant solution, with the resulting solution being able to be separated into its component parts and reused in the cutting and cleaning of metals to form metal parts.
