Abstract
A technique for assessing the effective emulsifier concentration of industrial metal working fluid samples is described. It was used to study the effect of fungal biofilm formation in a soluble oil emulsion metal working fluid on emulsifier concentration. Results are presented which suggest microbial biodepletion of the emulsifier package of the fluid.
