Updated portfolio on show
Published: 18 December, 2015
Q8Oils says it will be promoting its recently-launched products and service-led initiatives at Southern Manufacturing 2016, Farnborough, 9-11 February 2016, on stand T134.
Q8Oils says its revolutionary Q8 Brunel water-soluble machining and grinding fluid now offers ten grades developed to out-perform all other fluids. Suitable for use in hard or soft water, with ultra-low-foaming properties, they are said to be ideal for high-speed machining applications and the demanding fluid delivery pressures found on modern machine tools. The range is also designed to be fully-compliant with the latest European legislation.
Also on show will be Q8 Berlioz, a range of soluble cutting and grinding fluids developed to be tolerant to hard and soft water and free of formaldehyde, chlorine and secondary amines. All six grades have been formulated for the light- to heavy-duty machining of numerous ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys on CNC machines, machining centres, flexible manufacturing systems and all centralised systems.
With Q8Oils so confident in its new grades and existing portfolio, the company says it will continue to promote ‘The Challenge’, which offers machinists the opportunity to trial Q8 solutions on a payment-by-results basis.
Another service-led initiative being promoted is QCare, a network-enabled, tablet-based system with a bespoke ‘app’ that enables Q8Oils field service technicians to monitor fluids, complete audits and deliver results while still on site.

Q8OILS reports when it launched its Field Service Technician (FST) service at the MACH exhibition in 1992 it was an instant hit with visitors and was so well received in the wider industry that, at METCUT 1994, it received the Metalworking Production ‘Technical Innovation’ award.
ADEPT PURE WATER, a specialist in water purification equipment, reports it has supplied a reverse osmosis plant to Brompton Bicycle, the folding bike manufacturer. The high quality finish on Brompton’s bikes is the result of corrosion resistant powder coating. “We are looking to meet at least 1000 hours in salt spray testing”, says factory manager Tony Hobbs, “and that means that surface preparation is absolutely critical. The best way of achieving high quality surface is by using pure water.”
With ever increasing sustainability, regulatory and financial pressures, VEOLIA WATER TECHNOLOGIES says now is the time to Rethink Water with its help. The company says Circular Economy initiatives operated by WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) have achieved water reductions in many industries so what more can be done in 2017? Veolia says rethinking water can open up a wide range of opportunities to manage water more efficiently, reduce consumption and save money via water reuse or reduced discharge costs.
