Soluble Oils

Soluble oils are used extensively in the metal processing industry as a coolant in cutting, milling and grinding applications.

These are usually emulsions of 5% oil and 95% water and when disposed of are likely to have a residual content of chlorine which is included in their formulation to provide cooling for machining tools.
