Effect of varying concentrations of EDTA on the antimicrobial properties of cutting fluid preservatives.
The potentiating effects of EDTA and its disodium, trisodium and tetrasodium salts were studied in combination with several cutting fluid preservatives. It was found that a ratio of 1 part preservative to 2 to 4 parts chelating agent produced marked increases in antimicrobial action.
