An aqueous-based cutting fluid for machining photoreceptor substrates contains: (A) at least one antioxidant; (B) one or more surfactants, at least one of which is a polysiloxane surfactant; (C) at least one lubricant; and (D) water. The cutting fluid can also optionally contain one or more biocides. The cutting fluid is environmentally safe, non-toxic and biodegradable and can be removed in a postmachining cleaning process using only high quality distilled water. |
