A New Standardin R&D

Since its inception in 2004, the ConstructionResearch Institute of Malaysia (CREAM) has

established itself as the premier body forconstruction and engineering R&D initiatives inMalaysia. With the launch of its state-of-the-artlaboratory Makmal Kerja Raya Malaysia (MKRM)in 2009, the research arm of the countrysConstruction Industry Development Board(CIDB) continues to expand its vision for R&Dexcellence, bringing the latest in testing and

technological advances to bear.

Te key to matching the coolingperformance of the mineral oils

was increasing the viscosity

of water. his is achieved by

using biopolymer additives to

increase the viscosity of water

from 1 mPas to 40 mPas. Oil

has a viscosity of 25-40 mPas.

With the addition of other water

soluble additives, the lubricant

can also be used as an anti

corrosion agent.

German researchers have discovered a way of using wateras a cooling lubricant which prevents work tools fromoverheating. Many industrials such as drilling, milling andgrinding currently use mineral oils which are a source ofpollution and potentially detrimental to human health.

his technology was developed byresearchers at the Fraunhofer Institute

for Process Engineering and Packaging

IVV in Freising, in a project supported

by the German Ministry of Education

and Research.

Te new lubricant has won the German

Raw Material Efficiency Prize in

December 2011, and is currently being

commercially produced under the name

BERUFLUID.

An increase in viscosi ty has been discoveredto be the key behind the viable use of water

as a cooling lubricant, and it is a more

environmentally friendly alternative to the

mineral oils that are currently being used.

Behind the Machine

Founded on the 29th o September 1954, CERN is aninternational organisation established or the purpose o

operating the worlds largest particle physics laboratory.

Located in northwest Geneva and spanning the border

between France and Switzerland, the acility itsel is an

estimated 100m underground and is considered the

Mecca or physicists. Due to its ocus on particle physics

research, it is commonly called the European laboratory

or particle physics.

Te acronym CERN comes rom its original French name

Conseil Europen pour la Recherche Nuclaire (European

Council o Nuclear Research) when it was merely a

provisional council overseeing the setting up o thelaboratory. When the council was eventually dissolved,

the decision was made to retain the acronym or the new

laboratory despite the organisations name change.

While CERN has slightly less than 2,400 ull-time

employees, it is host to roughly 10,000 engineers and

scientists who hail rom 113 dierent nations and represent

608 universities and research acilities across the globe.

Te organisation itsel had 12 member countries rom

Western Europe during its ratifcation, but at present has

21 member states, o which a large majority are European

Union (EU) members, as well as seven observers.
