CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Feb.
3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In today's world, mining faces
considerable challenges. The difference between a productive
operation and an inefficient one, often boils down to the right
combination of people and products. Workers employ advances in
chemistry to help reach higher product performance levels.
It's this collaboration between mining companies and their
suppliers that helps mines maintain, and in some cases even
surpass, productivity goals. Quaker Chemical Corporation
(NYSE:KWR) values this collaboration and supports customers at the
local level: on-site, and one-on-one, to formulate solutions for
their specific operation, with a portfolio that includes
QUINTOLUBRIC® fire-resistant longwall fluids and
DUSTGRIP™ dust suppressants.
A 100% synthetic true solution, QUINTOLUBRIC® 818-02
is a fire-resistant hydraulic fluid used in longwall shields, it
keeps operations running smoothly by:
- Tripling filter life through superior fluid dynamics and
improved system cleanliness
- Not forming damaging abrasive scum
- Being maintenance free - keeps equipment clean and
corrosion-free for years of service

longwall hydraulic fluids, please visit:

Local communities along with regulatory agencies have put
increased pressure on mining companies to improve methods of dust
suppression. The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
has required mine operators to increase the total incombustible
content of the combined coal dust, rock dust and other dust; and
has reduced the concentration limits for coal mine dust. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that facilities
that generate dust minimize or mitigate the production of dust in
their operation. To alleviate industry-related issues Quaker
offers a family of DUSTGRIP™ products that:
- Reduce the generation of airborne particulate matter
from mines, roads, stockpiles, rail hauls, construction sites,
quarries and other areas where air-born dust is a problem
- Increase site safety and worker health
- Are more effective than using water alone, reducing
costs and saving time

Quaker will be showcasing these product lines at the 2015 SME
(Society of Manufacturing Engineers) Annual Conference and Expo and
CMA 117th National Western Mining Conference,
February
15th-18th, in Denver CO, Booth 736.
