Q8Oils major contributor to new UKLA guide on metalworking fluid safety
Q8Oils is pleased to have made an important contribution to a new guide on good practice for the safe handling of metalworking fluids in the workplace.
Behind the hype of bio-based metalworking fluids
Forced by new regulations lubricants manufacturers worldwide are replacing the mineral base oils in metalworking fluids by natural sourced derivatives.
Turbine oils for the long run
The major challenges for gas and steam turbine oils is viscosity, oxidation and thermal stability. The Q8 Volta high performance turbine oils are based on Group III base fluids, delivering excellent wear protection and oxidation stability. These products have received an impressive list of OEM approvals and are first choice for many gas and steam turbines owners.
The value of performance evaluation tests for gas engines
The energy market is high-demanding when it comes to the lubrication of gas engines. The performance of the oil is of the utmost importance for gas engine owners. Switching to a new oil is not common because operators fear the financial risks of an inferior oil performance. Yet relying on a professional performance evaluation test, many existing gas engines could benefit from the added value of new lubricants.
Future development for Q8 Mahler Oils
Until the early 1980s there was no requirement for a group of lubricating oils specifically formulated for gas engines, despite the first commercially viable gas engine having been developed and sold in 1860. A lot has changed since then, and with the Q8 Mahler range, Q8Oils is ready for the future.
Q8 Mahler oils assure top performance for Sagunto WTP gas engine
Gas engines are subjected to extreme operating conditions, speeding up the deposit formation process in the oil and thus posing high engine wear risks. The Q8 Mahler is especially developed to perform in these harsh circumstances.
