Quaker Houghton, analyzed the customer’s process and developed PLUNGER SLICK®202; a premium low viscosity plunger lubricant formulated for high pressure die casting. Due to the increased thermal stability of PLUNGER SLICK®202, Quaker Houghton was able to provide several benefits to the customer and obtained unanimous approval by all departments including oper¬ations, engineering, purchasing, and safety, health and environmental.

The Quaker Houghton team developed a new “talc-based technology” tip lubricant. The team made adjustments with viscosity- base oils and water vs. oil lubrication and developed the new PLUNGER SLICK® 200T oil based plunger lube.

Quaker Houghton analyzed the customer’s process and recommended switching their plunger lubricant to PLUNGER SLICK® 130, a product formulated for superior performance and excellent boundary lubrication. PLUNGER SLICK® 130 incorporates the highest quality base stock to ensure consistent performance at high temperatures; this increased thermal stability allows for minimized potential decomposition products that contribute to process defects, such as porosity.
