soluble metalworking fluids
Our metalworking fluids are the result of more than 100 years of product development and application experience.
Our chemists and product engineers take a unique, innovative and progressive approach to developing different
grades for different applications. We develop smart products that extend tool life and significantly reduce operating
costs, while staying a step ahead of the new demands arising from higher fluid pressures, faster cutting speeds, new
materials and tool technologies.
As well as performance requirements, we recognise our customers’ commercial needs.
By offering a range of fluids from light duty through to extreme performance products;
we can help you balance criteria such as surface finish, severity of the operation, working
environment and productivity, against cost. Q8 metalworking fluids are designed to
maximise cooling, resist foaming, improve tool life and eliminate corrosion and staining
to ensure excellent component surface quality. Our products are formulated to resist
attacks from micro-organisms such as bacteria and fungi. They perform equally well in
hard or soft water, maintain machine cleanliness and ensure operator safety all
contributing to a user friendly workshop environment.
Ensuring a healthy environment for the
machine operator is a key consideration in
our product and service philosophy.
There are three product families in the Q8Oils metalworking fluids portfolio.
Selection depends on the type of chemistry required:
• Q8 Baroni:
soluble fluids without chlorinated paraffin.
• Q8 Berlioz:
soluble fluids that are free of formaldehyde, chlorine and
secondary amine.
Confidence in our products, services and people,
has been a key factor in establishing Q8Oils
reputation as a trusted partner.
• Q8 Brunel:
soluble fluids and the flagship range for superior performance boron, chlorine, formaldehyde and secondary amine free.
Complex chemistry, new materials
and difficult applications require smart
engineering solutions.
