Metalworking fluids are liquids that flow or are sprayed over metal that is being altered mechanically or physically. Cutting fluids tend to be alkaline and are often soap-like. As such they denature keratin, defat the skin, and remove water from it, causing dryness, fissures, and frank eczematization. Cutting oil dermatitis is a difficult problem for the involved worker who must continue to support his family despite the presence of this progressive, pruritic, and painful eruption.
金属加工液是流动的或喷洒在正在进行机械或物理加工的金属上的液体。切削液往往呈碱性，且通常类似肥皂。因此，它们会使角蛋白变性，使皮肤脱脂并使其脱水，导致皮肤干燥、皲裂和明显的湿疹化。对于受影响的工人来说，切削油皮炎是个难题，尽管出现了这种渐进性、瘙痒性且疼痛的皮疹，他们仍必须继续养活家人。
