Reduce your machining costs with metalworking fluid management – Part 1 of 2
Although often overlooked, metalworking fluid management is an important factor in the manufacturing process. Poor or even lack of MWF management will highly decrease the quality and life of a MWF and produce extended problems in the production process, such as decrease the life time of tools, machines, etc. This means that MWF costs and other manufacturing costs associated with or influenced by MWFs will be high.

Low HTHS oils: the art of balancing fuel efficiency and engine protection
Engine oil manufacturers are challenged to balance the fragile equilibrium between oil efficiency and reducing engine wear. Q8Oils offers low HTHS engine oils for the PCMO- and HDDO market that reduce fuel consumption while maintaining engine protection.
Formaldehyde releases biocides
The Biocidal Products Committee (BPC) prepares the opinions of the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) related to several processes under the Biocidal Products Regulation. Substances, which were on the market before 14 May 2000 are referred to as existing active substances.
Critical engine parts for lubrication
An engine is assembled of many individual parts. A good oil flow to the critical areas is essential to guarantee the efficient and trouble-free operation of the engine. By lubricating an engine with the right engine oil, the engine will run smoother and offer better engine durability saving you maintenance- and fuel costs.
How to avoid electrostatic discharges in hydraulic oils
Under some conditions lubricants can become electrostatically charged. This can lead to heavy discharges, causing possible damage to parts and an increased build-up of oil sludge. By performing conductivity measurements of your lubricant you can avoid machine damage and oil deterioration.
About the shelf life of lubricants
Once our lubricants leave the care of Q8Oils or its agents, their continuing fitness for use depends on the quality of storage and handling procedures. To guarantee a maximal shelf life of your lubricants, you should take into account several guidelines.
How to avoid LSPI challenges in downsized car engines
To meet the increasingly stringent emission regulations and fuel economy demands, car manufacturers are forced to downsize engines while improving their power and torque.
Q8 Mahler shows excellent results in Liebherr gas engines
At Q8Oils we develop high-performance stationary gas engine oils for many different engine brands. Our unique QRAS-analysis helps us to select the right lubricant for any application and to monitor all key performances of our lubricants. The historical data of these analysis confirm that Q8 Mahler performs extremely well in Liebherr gas engines.
