CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., March 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In the Tunneling
industry, situations occur every day that can be classified as
harmful. These situations occur not only because of the underground
environment, or heavy machinery used, but also because of the
hydraulic fluid chosen. With the high pressures and flow rates
typical in a tunnel boring machine (TBM), a small leak from a line,
a seal, or a hose could quickly discharge large amounts of fluid
into the tunnel. If a spill occurs, problems can quickly escalate
if the hydraulic fluid is not environmentally favorable.
If a fire-resistant hydraulic fluid with a favorable
environmental profile and low toxicity is used it can help minimize
the impact of leaks or spills, reduce safety hazards, and also
simplify water treatment requirements. Quaker Chemical
Corporation ("Quaker") offers QUINTOLUBRIC® 888
fire-resistant hydraulic fluids for reduced environmental
impact. In addition to a favorable environmental profile,
QUINTOLUBRIC® hydraulic fluids also:
- Keep machines working at optimal performance with fewer
interruptions
- Support longer life span for equipment
- Increase safety and reduce risk for a lower total cost of
ownership
