Overview
Quenching oil is a metal-quenching oil made from paraffinic base oil and additives. It is supplied as a single product.
The specification table lists each grade separately, with the test method for every value, so grades can be compared directly before ordering.
Application
Quenching baths where the steel grade, section and bath conditions have been reviewed with our technical team.
Feature
KV40 26 cSt, KV100 5 cSt, VI 105, pour point -6 °C, flash point 190 °C.
Follow the equipment manufacturer's viscosity recommendation at operating temperature, then compare the grades' published values in the specification table.
Next step
The range above is what we publish. Formulation to a customer brief is a route of its own, and a sample is the first stage of it.
