The potentiation of the antimicrobial activities of cutting fluid preservatives by EDTA
The potentiation of the antimicrobial activities of cutting fluid preservatives by EDTA was confirmed in experiments in which 500 ppm of the disodium salt of EDTA was used in combination with 12 different metalworking fluids containing 500 ppm of o-phenylphenol, tris(hydroxymethyl) nitromethane, hexahydro- 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)-s-triazine alone or complexed with iodine, hexahydro- 1,3,5-triethyl-s-triazine, 1-(3-chloroallyl)- 3,5,7-triaza- 1-azoniaadamantane hydrochloride, 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, 4-(2-nitrobutyl) morpholine and 4,4-(2-ethyl-2-nitrotrimethylene) dimorpholine, or the sodium salt of 2-pyridinethiol- 1-oxide as a preservative. Based on a previous observation that the proper selection of the hydraulic fluid employed in the cutting machine is a major factor in controlling rancidity, the possibility of spoilage control by treating the fluid with EDTA alone was also demonstrated; the EDTA had a greater beneficial effect with a synthetic coolant than with an oil emulsion. Published data on the effects of EDTA indicate that it poses no significant water pollution problems upon disposal, exhibits a low order of animal toxicity, and rarely causes human allergies.
