water hardness
Water hardness affects cutting fluid balance.
Different geographic regions have different
degrees of waterhardness. Compensating
for water hardness will optimize fluid
performance.
keep an eye on: Evaporation losses !balancing losses � concentration of ions with time

Problems due to foaming
Unwelcome consequences of foaming
- reducing fluid‘s lubricity- obstructing skimming of tramp oil- handicapping chip management
- Heating up of the fluid- part quality issues- speed up corrosion processes- fluid evaporation
- safety issues- bubbles onto the shop floor cause slip hazards
becomes more important due to new trends in machining / processing(high pressure cooling)
