Requirements on additives for tomorrow’s metalworking fluids Pages 6, 7 and 8


Keeping up with radical changes in the world’s manufacturing industry


In the first instalment of a multi-part article from Lanxess Deutschland GmbH, the changing trends driving the worlds manufacturing industry – from developments in design and manufacture to the changing availability of base oils – are detailed. This leads into an exploration of the requirements these changes will place and are currently are placing on additives for metalworking fluids.


Metalworking Fluid Development Pages 12 and 13


Opportunity out of Complexity?


Robert Stubbs, General Manager of Sea-Land Chemical Europe Ltd, outlines the complications brought to bear on raw material suppliers, customers and end users by the latest REACh regulations, before expounding on ways in which companies can work with, and even develop within, the strictures of these directives.


How base oil selection determines metalworking fluid stability Page 14, 15, 16 and 17


The advantages of Naphthenic base oils to metalworking fluid formulations In this detailed article, courtesy of Nynas AB, Professor Thomas Norrby, Dr Pär Wedin and Ms Linda Malm investigate the relationship between the formulation chemistry and the ultimate efficacy of a metalworking fluid; examining how emulsion droplet size distribution would vary in relation to formulating changes, and how this distribution would be affected over time.


Lower emissions by design Pages 24 and 26 What Euro VI means for vehicle hardware, lubricant formulation and base oil trends Emissions regulations are one of the key drivers for change in the heavy-duty diesel vehicle market. Infineum EMEA Crankcase Regional Executive Market Manager, Yannick Jullien, explores the impact that the European Euro VI vehicle emissions standard is having on aftertreatment system design, engine oil formulation and base stock selection.

4 LUBE MAGAZINE NO.139 JUNE 2017 Auf Wiedersehen


After eight and a half years with Lube magazine, the Lube-Media website and ELID, it is time for me to say “Auf Wiedersehen”. My personal circumstances have changed and therefore, I now look forward to more time at home and in the garden, with the occasional scuba diving trip! More can be read on page 10.


Laurie McHale has been handling this June 2017 edition of Lube and therefore thanks must go to him. For several weeks now, Laurie has been undergoing a sharp learning curve on all aspects of the publication, right from the initial gathering of materials through to planning the layout, proofing and finally to pressing the ‘approve and send-to-print’ button. This will enable us to provide a smooth handover to my successor, Nicola Thomas as continuity and consistency are vital. Read all about Nicky on Page 63.


When I started at UKLA in 2009, the global financial crisis/economic downturn between 2008 and 2013 was in its infancy. There was considerable apprehension all around. And now there are new and different predicaments happening globally: the largest humanitarian crisis since the end of the second world war with more than 20 million people in four countries facing starvation and famine; plus big political changes in the UK, France and the US. Today, there are still uncertainties. As time has gone by the sudden and large drop in 2008 indicated by the line in countless bar charts has risen and returned to a more acceptable level, and I am confident that, similar to the financial crisis, these more recent problems will eventually be resolved.


I’m also confident that under the leadership of Nicky, Lube magazine, the Lube-Media website and ELID will go from strength to strength, and will continue to provide the same quality of invaluable industry information, news and developments to our many, many subscribers around the globe, as well as generate new initiatives and innovations.


Until we meet again... Suzy Jarman Editor
