Metalworking and lubricating fluids designed to meet particular customer needs.
QA Lubricants can formulate metalworking or lubricating fluids for a special application. When your operation calls for a tailored product, we can work with you to define the performance targets and design a formulation around the equipment, materials, and process.
With an on-site chemist, QA brings formulation support close to your application. The conversation can include viscosity, lubrication needs, fluid compatibility, surface finish, and other properties that matter to your operation.
Our on-site chemist can help translate your requirements into a metalworking or lubricating fluid formulation. Laboratory samples provide a starting point for evaluating and refining a product around your process.
A viscosity bath and laboratory glassware support evaluation of fluid samples. Target properties and customer feedback guide the discussion as a formulation is developed for the application.
Share the equipment, materials, current fluid, operating conditions, and the challenge you want to address.
Work with QA to identify target properties and explore a formulation suited to the application.
Discuss sample results and application feedback to help shape the product toward your needs.
Have a special application? Tell us the fluid you use today, what you want to improve, and any specifications the new product needs to meet.
