Safety & Compliance
Safe and responsible.
Safety when using metalworking fluids is not an optional extra, but a fundamental requirement for continuous operation. Our Nano-Fluids are formulated to meet the requirements for workplace safety, material protection and environmental compatibility – without compromising performance.
Toxicology & operator safety
Carbon Nano-Onions
- 100% carbon – chemically inert, non-toxic
- Insoluble, non-reactive in emulsion or oil
- Stably incorporated – no migration into the air
- Non-volatile, not bioavailable
- No absorption through skin or mucous membranes
Operator safety
- Odourless – no additional burden on the workplace air
- Skin-compatible when used at the correct concentration
- Inhibits the growth of bacteria, germs and fungi – no biocide dosing required during operation
- Stable pH value – no aggressive shifts
TOXICOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION
From a toxicological perspective, particle size is not the determining factor, but rather chemical composition, reactivity and bioavailability. Carbon Nano-Onions meet all relevant criteria in a particularly uncritical manner.
