soluble metalworking fluids
soluble metalworking fluidsOur 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 differentgrades for different applications. We develop smart products that extend tool life and significantly reduce operatingcosts, while staying a step ahead of the new demands arising from higher fluid pressures, faster cutting speeds, newmaterials 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, workingenvironment and productivity, against cost. Q8 metalworking fluids are designed tomaximise cooling, resist foaming, improve tool life and eliminate corrosion and stainingto ensure excellent component surface quality. Our products are formulated to resist attacks from micro-organisms such as bacteria and fungi. They perform equally well inhard or soft water, maintain machine cleanliness and ensure operator safety all contributing to a user friendly workshop environment.
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 andsecondary amine.
• Q8 Brunel:soluble fluids and the flagship range for superior performance - boron, chlorine, formaldehyde and secondary amine free.
Ensuring a healthy environment for the machine operator is a key consideration in
our product and service philosophy.
Confidence in our products, services and people, has been a key factor in establishing Q8Oils
reputation as a trusted partner.
Complex chemistry, new materials and difficult applications require smart
engineering solutions.

QCareThe QCare service uses a network-enabled, tablet-based systems with a bespoke ‘app’ that enables Q8Oils field service technicians to monitor fluids, complete their audits and deliver results while still on site.
In addition, because FSTs are highly-trained metalworking experts, as checks are completed they can assist machine operators with identifying any problems and help to rectify them.
