CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., May 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Steel mills face
complex challenges in manufacturing where process fluids can
optimize operations. Quaker Chemical Corporation (NYSE:KWR,
"Quaker"), a longstanding supplier of steel fluids, offers
integrated process solutions ranging from cleaners, rolling oils,
corrosion preventives, temper fluids, and surface treatment, which
will be featured at AISTech 2017 - the Steel industry's
premier technology event.
Furthermore, for many mills, the threat of fire is very real.
Hydraulic systems operating under high pressure can ignite through
sudden line ruptures or by coming into contact with a high
temperature ignition source. These occurrences can dramatically
impact production. At the same time, in some processes, the less
obvious factors can affect productivity. Corrosion and washout
caused by water contamination and ingress lead to frequent
maintenance needs and possibly, equipment failure.
Quaker addresses these challenges with
QUINTOLUBRIC® 702-46 RD, a water glycol based
fire-resistant hydraulic fluid, and QUAKERTEK™
BGG, a water-resistant lithium complex grease.
Designed to provide optimum performance in hydraulic systems
where fire-resistant fluids are required,
QUINTOLUBRIC® 702-46 RD features:
- FM (Factory Mutual) Approval
- Superior liquid and vapor phase corrosion protection when
compared to competitive products
- Excellent stability with a high viscosity index
Formulated for use in areas where water-resistance is a primary
concern, QUAKERTEK™ BGG grease:
- Seals out water and contaminants
- Provides long-term lubrication and corrosion protection where
constant water exposure is common
- Performs well in high temperature applications due to its
dropping point of > 500ºF (260ºC)
Quaker's entire steel portfolio,
