Antibacterial Water Soluble Oil with NO SMELL!!

12/11/2006 9:33 PM

I heard lots of suppliers have Antibacterial Water Soluble Oil for metal working fluid. However, I found that almost all product have stinky smell. Possible Urene or Amine smell. How can we treat such smell problem? Exchanging bacteria smell with that Amine smell is not a bad deal.. However, It is still too stinky to operator to work with it happily.

The product you need is HaloPure FT and I am the national distributor, based near Detroit, MI USA. It is different than any previous technology and patented as such. We capture individual chlorine atoms and adhere them to a polystyrene bead substrate that has mass surface structure created through another patented process. The Chlorine atoms react to organics in a one to one exchange destroying the cell wall. The chlorine also reacts to the H2S, nuetralizing the odor. You place a pack of beads in a closed looped fluid stream. Your odor will dissapear within 3-5 hours. The packs last 60 days. No chlorine is released into the fluid system. You can contact me at joet@greatlakespump.com for more documentation on the product.

You can see more information at www.halosource.com

One thing you will find is that people can get used to just about any kind of smell over time. This is why people who do not bathe regularly get used to their own body odor, when it would surely knock over other people they approach.

As long as the chemical concentration that causes the smell is not toxic, nor a long-term carcinogen, you may be able to disguise the smell somewhat with another, stronger, but more pleasant smell. This is the basis behind many seasonings used with some foods, because years ago, before refrigeration, many foods, particularly meat, would start to smell bad before they actually became unhealthy. Cooking kills bacteria, but not necessarily eliminates all bad odors. In the same way, your chemical treatment of coolant may not eliminate all bad smells.

There are also some chemicals which eliminate odors, not just disguise it with another smell. In the US there is a household product called "Febreze" which eliminates odors in fabrics, but I do not kow how it works. There may be something similar for industrial odors. Their website also includes a new product, "Air Effects", to eliminate odors in air, as well as adding a nice scent.

In googling "eliminates odors" I found another product "PureAyre" which is said to eliminate odors on surfaces and in the air by the action of enzymes which break apart the bonds of the chemicals which cause the odor.

There is also a Swiss company, IQAir, which makes equipment to eliminate odors, including amines and ammonia. Check out their website for more information. These mechanical filters are said to remove gases as well as particles from the air. They are large then household (consumer) room devices, but smaller than whole building commercial/industrial systems. It might be just what you need for your machining area if you can enclose it.

When I worked for an automotive controls company that began a grey iron (very dirty!) machining operation, we found the only way to control the spread of contamination in the air was to build a "dirty room" around the operation, to keep the rest of of the plant relatively "clean". With a good exhaust sytem in this room, you can keep positive pressure outside the room which will keep the flow of odors inside and exhaust them to the outside of the building.

In other words, there are many possible ways to reduce the odors, and you might just need them all, since no one method may be 100% effective.
