Metalworking fluids

Metalworking fluids are used to cool down and lubricate metal workpieces when being processed and all share a common problem: sensitivity to bacteria and fungi (yeasts and moulds). Not only do they jeopardise hygiene and the health of workers, these microorganisms also primarily cause quality problems.

Fungi grow massively, consuming carbon sources that reside in the functional fluid. They can plug metalworking fluid lines or pipes, slowing down operations and increasing production costs.

 

A highly effective solution 

Sodium PYRION™ is a broad-spectrum industrial biocide which is highly effective against most bacteria, yeasts and moulds commonly found in metalworking fluid systems. Sodium PYRION 40% is 100% water soluble and stable at high pH. This ready-to-use product has excellent compatibility with water-based functional/metalworking fluids.
