Quaker Houghton AQUA-QUENCH 260

Description

Product Description

Aqua-Quench 260, a pale amber-colored fluid concentrate, is designed for the hardening of ferrous alloys and solution treatment of aluminum alloys. Let’s explore its features, benefits, specifications, and more.

Performance of Aqua-Quench 260

• Aqua-Quench 260 is an oil-free, non-flammable, and water-soluble synthetic quenchant.
• It offers controlled cooling rates, minimizing distortion and ensuring excellent dimensional control.
• The unique property of “inverse solubility” imparts an efficient cooling mechanism.

Features of Aqua-Quench 260

1. Versatility: Suitable for both ferrous and aluminum alloys.
2. Application Flexibility: Use in open quench tanks, continuous furnaces, and selective surface hardening equipment.
3. Uniform Quenching: Eliminates steam pockets and soft spots associated with water quenching.
4. Safety: Water-based, eliminating fire hazards and smoke from quenching oils.
