Quaker Chemical’s Study Findings on Hydraulic Fluids to be Presented at STLE 2011

Quaker Chemical, a global provider of chemical specialties, process chemicals and technical services to various industries, including aluminum, aerospace, steel, tube and pipe, mining, coatings, automotive and construction materials, has conducted studies on hydraulic fluids.

Hydraulic fluids that are based on advanced synthetic polyol esters have generated significant attention in recent years, particularly in the field of power generation. These hydraulic fluids act as replacements for electro-hydraulic (EHC) fluids. Quaker Chemical has compared a wide range of EHC fluids in terms of environmental impact, fire-resistance, fluid expenditures and maintenance needs.

EHC fluids are used in the operation of steam turbines. Traditionally, steam turbines use either hydraulic fluids based on mineral oil or phosphate esters-based fire-resistant fluids.

In addition to educating the industry, the research conducted by Quaker Chemical has enabled technical professionals to create advanced fire-resistant polyol ester-based fluids. These hydraulic fluids are part of the company’s QUINTOLUBRIC product portfolio.

Quaker Chemical’s Global Development Manager, Dr. Nico Broekhof will present the findings in a paper titled, “Modern, Ester –Based Hydraulic Fluids for Power Generation” at the STLE 2011 conference in Atlanta on May 18.
