Once our lubricants leave the care of Q8Oils or its agents, their continuing fitness for use depends on the quality of storage and handling procedures. To guarantee a maximal shelf life of your lubricants, you should take into account several guidelines.
How to avoid LSPI challenges in downsized car engines
To meet the increasingly stringent emission regulations and fuel economy demands, car manufacturers are forced to downsize engines while improving their power and torque.
Q8 Mahler shows excellent results in Liebherr gas engines
At Q8Oils we develop high-performance stationary gas engine oils for many different engine brands. Our unique QRAS-analysis helps us to select the right lubricant for any application and to monitor all key performances of our lubricants. The historical data of these analysis confirm that Q8 Mahler performs extremely well in Liebherr gas engines.
How Q8 Bach RSB and RSD cold rolling oils advance safety
To assure a certain metal-to-metal contact and a solid grip of the cold rolling mills, the viscosity of cold rolling oil should be as low as possible. However low viscosity oils usually come with low flashpoints and undesired VOC emissions. That is not the case for the new generation of Q8 Bach RSD cold rolling oils with increased safety profile.
The importance of quality control for cold rolling oils
Most cold rolling mills continuously reuse their cold rolling oil. The quality of the used cold rolling oil in the clean oil tank depends on many factors. Q8Oils offers their cold rolling oil customers worldwide regular quality checks. This way the quality of the cold rolling oil is monitored and the right products can be ordered to maintain the desired oil performance.
Hydraulic Oil in Cold Rolling Mills
Cold rolling mills exist in various sizes, each requiring a specific lubrication method. Larger cold rolling mills use cold rolling oils both for lubrications and cooling. Other oils, such as hydraulic fluids may contaminate the cold rolling oil. To guarantee the performance of your cold rolling oil and the quality of the metal surface, you must use the right hydraulic oil for your cold rolling mills.
New synthetic multipurpose gear oils for passenger cars
Q8Oils launches 2 new Synthetic multi-purpose, dedicated Manual Transmission Fluids for Passenger Car & Light Duty vehicles, to be used in synchromesh manual gearboxes and synchromesh manual transaxles where there also is a demand for high load carrying.
Introducing: Q8 CHF 22S
Q8Oils is happy to announce the new Q8 CHF 22S, a new synthetic high VI (>300) hydraulic fluid for automotive hydraulic systems using high quality synthetic base oils in combination with specially selected additives.
Introduction to cold rolling
Cold rolling is a process by which metal is passed through rollers at temperatures below its recrystallization temperatures. The metal is compressed and squeezed, increasing the yield strength and hardness of the metal.
Gas Engines: Analytical tools, oil sample results and field testing
The Q8Oils laboratories are equipped with an extensive range of analytical tools to determine performance and characteristics of newly formulated oils. Among these are high pressure differential scanning calorimeters (HPDSC), kinematic viscosity analysers (KV), rotating pressure vessel oxidation test (RPVOT), total acid number (TAN) and total base number (TBN) analysers, Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and Infrared spectroscopy (IR).
