Thermal and physical properties of lubricants
Knowledge about thermal and physical properties of lubricants enables OEM’s to improve their equipment designs. Q8Oils has tested and measured the most important properties of some of its products. To support our partners we give them insight into this valuable information.
New Q8 Formula Truck products support the 3 market drivers for the HDD-Market
Three main market drivers continue to force a rapid change in the European heavy duty diesel (HDD) market. The continuous focus on efficiency, durability and emissions impacts future engine design. Engine oil technology as part of the engine design, is a key ingredient on the fuel saving menu.
How sealants and anti-rust fluids affect lubricant anti-wear properties
The main circulation lubricant in industrial applications comes into contact with anti-rust fluids and sealants used to prevent leakages. Q8Oils has tested and analysed how these products affect lubricant anti-wear properties.
In order to understand what could happen if the system is not properly flushed before start-up and if excessive amounts of sealant are used, Q8Research has investigated this issue.
Lubricant compatibility testing
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 oil compressibility: what is it and what are the risks?
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.
We are generalist & specialist
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.

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.
