When adding a new lubricant to your installation, it is important to know whether this product is compatible with the currently used product. Testing lubricant compatibility goes further than appearance tests. Even more important is to test and maintain lubricant performance.
Hydraulic oils are somewhat compressible which can cause problems in hydraulic systems. Aspects like temperature changes and the presence of air bubbles in the hydraulic oil influence compressibility which can lead to uncontrolled decompression and other problems related to compressibility.
For many decades Q8Oils has been developing and manufacturing lubricants for all possible applications. We combine our general market insights in a wide series of sectors with extensive expertise in developing specialized lubrication solutions.
Reduce your machining costs with metalworking fluid management – Part 2 of 2
Although often overlooked, metalworking fluid management is an important factor in the manufacturing process. Poor or even lack of MWF management will highly decrease the quality and life of a MWF and produce extended problems in the production process, such as decrease the life time of tools, machines, etc. This means that MWF costs and other manufacturing costs associated with or influenced by MWFs will be high.

Engine oil manufacturers are challenged to balance the fragile equilibrium between oil efficiency and reducing engine wear. Q8Oils offers low HTHS engine oils for the PCMO- and HDDO market that reduce fuel consumption while maintaining engine protection.
The Biocidal Products Committee (BPC) prepares the opinions of the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) related to several processes under the Biocidal Products Regulation. Substances, which were on the market before 14 May 2000 are referred to as existing active substances.
An engine is assembled of many individual parts. A good oil flow to the critical areas is essential to guarantee the efficient and trouble-free operation of the engine. By lubricating an engine with the right engine oil, the engine will run smoother and offer better engine durability saving you maintenance- and fuel costs.
Under some conditions lubricants can become electrostatically charged. This can lead to heavy discharges, causing possible damage to parts and an increased build-up of oil sludge. By performing conductivity measurements of your lubricant you can avoid machine damage and oil deterioration.
