Complete range of quenching fluids for heat treatment.
Experts in quenching methods.
In heat treatment, the quenching process is defined as the controlled extraction of heat from the workpiece undergoing quenching. Since the development of the first oil-based quenching fluid around 1880 by Quaker Houghton, the publication “Practical Metallurgy for Engineers” in 1923, and the pioneering of biostable water-soluble quenching fluid for induction and immersion hardening, we continue to offer a wide array of cold quenching oils, hot quenching oils, and water-soluble polymer quenchants. Quaker Houghton provides premium industrial solutions to ensure the necessary mechanical properties and reduce distortion in heat-treated components for the automotive, aerospace, bearing manufacturing, and other industries. As a global leader in heat treatment, Quaker Houghton supplies quenching fluids and related products, technologies, and application expertise across a broad range of sectors.
