Description
Aqua-Quench 222 from Quaker Houghton is a new polyalkylene glycol (PAG) based quenchant polymer which has been especially developed to give a extra long life in use. Its slower cooling rate during the critical martensitic transformation temperature range minimises risk of cracking and distortion and so enables the treatment of higher hardenability steels not previously suitable for quenching in conventional PAG type quenchants. Its formula permits to avoid very high concentration in comparison with previous traditional PAG.
Aqua-Quench 222 eliminates the smoke, fume and fire hazards associated with oil quenching and provides flexibility of quenching speed. Its corrosion inhibitor system provides excellent protection to quench tank, fixtures and fittings, cooling systems and associated pipework.
Aqua-Quench 222 can be used for Induction hardening for specific parts. Aqua-Quench 222 guarantees long service life without repeated biocidal treatments, thanks to advanced boron-free and formaldehyde-releasing free technology.
