EMULSIONS

The Quaker Houghton range of emulsions are specifically designed for the most difficult machining processes and to provide the best performance on specialised materials. These product ranges are suitable for machining sensitive aluminium alloys, titanium, inconel, yellow metals and high alloy steels. The high lubricity emulsions contain sophisticated additive packages which provide outstanding machining characteristics with extended tool-life, stable at high cutting speeds and good wetting properties. These characteristics along with the low foaming performance can reduce coolant drag out and help deliver cleaner machine tools and components. These products provide a stable machining platform which serves to lower the total cost of operations.

CLEANERS

Quaker Houghton supplies a large variety of alkaline industrial cleaners under the brand names QUAKERCLEAN® and HOUGHTOCLEAN® that are ideal for the de-greasing of parts after machining and grinding.

These include spraying, immersion and Ultrasonic applications. The fluids are formulated to provide superior cleaning, temporary corrosion protection, good oil control and the removal of light to heavy soiling. Specialised products for the cleaning of sensitive materials, cleaning of fluids before disposal and long-term corrosion protection are available.

CORROSION PREVENTATIVES

The FERROCOTE® and ENSIS® ranges of corrosion preventatives consist of a range of solvent and water-based products that provides long-term indoor and outdoor protection to ferrous materials.

These products leave a residue of either a thin waxy or oily film. The film provides optimal retention of the product over the pieces while reducing oil dripping in the package. The residual films can be cleaned in industrial cleaning operations. The oily or waxy based FERROCOTE® and ENSIS® products have excellent water displacing and separation properties. Some of the FERROCOTE® and ENSIS® products include a vapour corrosion inhibitor and are formulated for long term storage of bearings and machined parts.

METAL FORMING PRODUCTS

The Quaker Houghton range of forming fluids includes synthetic lubricants, soluble oils, straight oils, vanishing oil lubricants, and specialized lubricants.

The metal forming range covers the spectrum of metal forming applications and includes deep drawing, wire drawing, tube forming and hot stamping. The product range consists of products that provide good lubricity, excellent corrosion protection and superior cleanliness of the part and machine tools. This range of low residue products has been used over many years in different applications by different customers.

SPECIALISED NEAT
