CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., May 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In steel plants,
the hot strip mill encounters some of the most severe conditions as
far as lubrication is concerned. Quaker Chemical Corporation
(NYSE: KWR, "Quaker"), a longstanding supplier of steel processing
and maintenance fluids and greases, addresses these challenges with
QUAKERTEK™ CS, calcium sulfonate complex grease, and
QUINTOLUBRIC® 702-46 RD, water glycol based
fire-resistant hydraulic fluid, which will be highlighted at the
AISTech 2019 Conference & Exposition.
Under normal dry conditions, standard greases can perform well;
however, performance deteriorates quickly with water ingress
leading to high grease consumption, bearing failures, and increased
workload. In the presence of water, QUAKERTEK™ CS has the
formulated benefits:
- Resists water washout
- Offers extreme load carrying properties and lubricity
- Excellent corrosion protection
Designed to provide optimum performance in hydraulic systems
such as the hot mill, where fire-resistant fluids are required,
QUINTOLUBRIC® 702-46 RD features:
- Superior liquid and vapor phase corrosion protection
- High viscosity index
- Excellent sheer stability and chemical, thermal, and hydrolytic
stability
To complement the process fluid offerings, Quaker technical
experts will be presenting conference papers at AISTech
2019 during the lubrication & hydraulics and cold
rolling sessions:
- "Solutions for Long Products Lubrication to Avoid Long
Maintenance Stops," by Josef
Barreto-Pohlen, Global Technical Director-Greases, on
Tuesday, May 7 at 2:30 pm
- "Lubricant Development for Hard Steel Rolling: From Design
to Validation," by Bas
Smeulders, PhD, Research Scientist, on Tuesday, May 7 at 3:00
pm
Quaker's full steel portfolio,
(https://www.quakerchem.com/expert-experience/industry-expertise/steel ),ranging
from cleaners, rolling oils, corrosion preventives, surface
