Die Casting: 91% Wear Reduction by using Polyol Ester HFD-U Fields

2020-03-18T03:46:16-04:00

Quaker Houghton’s QUINTOLUBRIC® polyol ester HFD-U fluids are fire-resistant hydraulic fluids that do not contain water. HFD fluids are usually based on synthetic base stocks or esters that combine reasonable to good fire-resistant properties with excellent lubrication performance. HFD fluids are designed to operate in oil hydraulic equipment.

Die Casting : 91% Pump Wear Reduction With A Polyol Ester (HFD) Hydraulic Fluid

2020-03-18T04:48:55-04:00

QUINTOLUBRIC® 888 is a synthetic fluid that can be used in equipment designed for traditional mineral oil fluids and provides better performance than fluids containing water. In addition to fire resistance, the product provides excel¬lent biodegradability and low aquatic toxicity, making it ideal for use where better environment protection is required. It is approved by FM Global as a less hazardous hydraulic fluid.

Underground Coal Mine : $500,000 Savings Via Longwall Fluid Conversion

2020-03-18T07:42:45-04:00

To help mitigate the effects of the local water supply Quaker Houghton recommended the mine convert to QUINTOLUBRIC® 818-02, a full synthetic longwall fluid that can withstand the spikes in water hardness. Additionally, Quaker installed a new mixing station to filter the sediment from the water more effectively, and provide tighter controls on the longwall fluid concentration.

Fire Safety In Hot Forming Hydraulic Presses

2020-03-17T04:57:08-04:00

One of the main risks of fire is linked to the use of mineral oil in the hydraulic systems. At the units, substantial leakage has been observed. Most leakage takes place through accidents like ruptured hoses, or leaking couplings. Mineral oils are highly flammable and are a serious source of fire hazard in high temperature environments and applications close to open flames or red-hot metal parts. The risk is further increased by the rapid and aggressive ignition rate of mineral oils. Today mineral oil dangers present industries with a very real major risk. With QUINTOLUBRIC® 888, this risk can be reduced and managed preventively.

Relativity Of Acid Number For Hydraulic Fluids

2020-11-20T09:44:57-05:00

TAN merely measures the corrosive acids present in the fluid, and will increase over time as an indication of the deterioration of the fluid. However, different lubricant technologies such as mineral oil-based or polyol-ester-based hydraulic fluids and different additive technologies result in different TAN values
