Water soluble machining and grinding fluids

The Q8 Brunel range is formulated to be fully compliant with latest European industry legislation, providing a range of products that are free from boron, boric acid, chlorinated paraffin, secondary amine, formaldehyde releasing biocides and nitrites.

Introducing the new Q8 Brunel range, Q8Oils product line manager, Stuart Duff, says: "Following extensive research and both laboratory and field-trial testing, we have reinvented the way in which the industry approaches soluble metal working fluid chemistry by developing a completely new approach that focuses on three key customer requirements – product performance, environmental protection and operator health.”

He insists that, subject to customer requirements, significant improvements to tool life and surface finish are achievable and claims that: "Q8 Brunel is so advanced that it has the potential to reduce the operating costs for every customer.”

Q8 Brunel is fully compliant with European environmental and chemical legislation. All Q8 Brunel grades comply with TRGS 611 and are suitable for use in hard and soft water where they display low foaming properties. They are suitable for high speed machining applications and the demanding fluid delivery pressures found on modern machine tools; and it is here where significant tool life improvements are said to be achievable.

In addition, all grades are suitable for use in hard or soft water with ultra-low foaming properties and Q8 Brunel metal working fluids are well suited to high speed machining applications and the demanding fluid delivery pressures found on modern machine tools.
