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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
Q8Oils launches two new Brake Fluid products meeting the requirements for DOT 4+ and DOT 4 LV: Q8 Brake Fluid DOT 4+ and Q8 Brake Fluid DOT 4 LV.
In the wire drawing industry, the terms superfine and ultrafine are commonly used to describe sizes of fine wire, but how do you describe it in your wire drawing application, how also does wire size relate to life and what you can see?
We recently spoke with André Volkers, Technical Sales Manager for cold rolling oils in the metalworking line of Q8Oils. After an 11-year career as an R&D specialist at a major industrial world player, he started working as a Research Scientist in the Specialties group of Kuwait Petroleum Research & Technology in 2010. In 2012, he switched to Q8Oils as product manager Specialties, with responsibility for such products as base oils, extracts, bitumen and propellants. He has been the technical sales manager for cold rolling oils at the metalworking fluids department for more than 2 years.
