Metalworking: $490K Annual Savings Reducing Consumption And Biological Issues Machining Engines And Transmissions

Quaker Houghton’s team of experts in the product development laboratory performed extensive studies in the development of QUAKERAL® 350, a GEN III, secondary amine free product for the customer. QUAKERAL® 350 met all of the customer’s requirements and their 6 systems were converted to the coolant. Quaker Houghton was able to decrease system usage and eliminate downtime. In the past, the filters would rapidly fail due to high microbiological activity in several of the systems. Partial dumps would be required to get these departments running again. No additives have been required to maintain the systems and the customer has been very happy with the cost and process improvements.
