members with an integrative overall concept for significantly
reducing the production costs associated with lubricoolants.
Exploiting cost saving potential through the efficient use of
lubricoolants represents an important means of increasing
competitiveness, particularly at high-wage locations. The focal topics are:
Measuring lubricoolant contamination
The research topics are geared to the needs of the member
