Aqua-Quench

Aqua-Quench is a premium line of water-soluble quenching media (water-based polymer quenching fluids) from Quaker Houghton, designed for controlled heat treatment of steels and alloys. Aqua-Quench products provide uniform and reproducible cooling rates, allowing for the achievement of the required hardness while minimizing the risk of cracks, warping, and internal stresses in the parts.

Aqua-Quench fluids differ in various concentrations of polymers, enabling precise selection of the quenching speed according to the specific type of steel, part size, and desired mechanical properties. Aqua-Quench fluids are characterized by high stability of the working solution, excellent anti-corrosion properties, low foaming, ease of cleaning, and significantly lower fuming compared to oil-based quenching media. They comply with modern environmental requirements and significantly improve working conditions in thermal shops.

By choosing Aqua-Quench quenching fluids, you achieve high precision and repeatability in the heat treatment process, reduced scrap, extended equipment life, and significant cost reduction compared to traditional oil quenching. The series is ideal for hardening automotive industry parts, agricultural machinery, tools, gears, shafts, springs, and other critical components.
