Fire-resistant, polyol ester-based hydraulic fluid

QUAKER Chemical Corporation has obtained approval from the German Steel Institute (VDEh) for Quintolubric ® 888-68 fluid. With the VDEh approval, Quaker says that it is the first fire-resistant hydraulic fluid manufacturer to meet the new, more stringent standards for polyol ester-based hydraulic fluids issued by the leading German association. After a year of data collection and extensive laboratory testing, Quintolubric 888-68 successfully passed the new SEB 181 224 specification. “The process was supervised by German Steel Institute (VDEh) and there was a lot of re- testing involved,” commented Ronald Knecht, OEM manager, fluid power – EMEA. “But we passed all re-tests in one go, and are now the only manufacturer of polyol ester-based fire resistant hydraulic fluids that has been approved.” The new SEB 181 224 specification was issued in 2011 by VDEh’s Hydraulic Fluids Committee, as a spin-off of the ISO 12922 international standard, which was developed to increase safety in steel mills.
