CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Feb. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hydraulic
presses for hot sheet metal forming are a critical asset for
manufacturers engaged in press hardening operations. If fires
take place on the press when the metal reaches temperatures around
900°C (1652°F), the manufacturer runs the risk of serious safety
hazards for operators, large capital loss, increased
insurance premiums and production losses.
To address how fire-resistant hydraulic fluids can be used as a
fire prevention tactic for hydraulic presses, Metalforming
Magazine will be hosting the webinar, "Fire Resistant Fluids
for Hot Forming", on Thursday, March
3rd, 2-3PM
EST. This webinar will be led by Ronald Knecht, Global Business Development and
OEM Manager—Fluid Power for Quaker Chemical Corporation (NYSE: KWR,
"Quaker").
Late in 2015, Quaker announced that its synthetic fire-resistant
hydraulic fluid, QUINTOLUBRIC® 888, had been approved by
press manufacturer, AP&T (Automation, Presses, and Tooling).
The oil was extensively tested in AP&T's press-hardening line
to ensure it would not negatively affect hydraulic components and
gaskets.
"The oil works at least as well in our lines as conventional
hydraulic oil, and it also has superior qualities in terms of fire
safety and the environment," said Patrik
Haglund, Presses Product Manager for AP&T.

learn more about these fire-resistant fluids and how they can keep
hot-forming machines working at optimal performance with fewer
interruptions and a longer life span, for a lower total cost of
ownership, increased safety, and reduced risk.
