en.Wedoany.com Reported - Quaker Houghton announced that its HOCUT 4260 water-soluble metalworking coolant has received Boeing BAC 5008 certification, making it suitable for demanding aerospace manufacturing applications. Previously, this product had been approved by aerospace organizations including Airbus, BAE Systems, Bombardier, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and Safran.

Jonathan Dilley, Global Director of Aerospace and Defense at Quaker Houghton, stated that obtaining Boeing BAC 5008 certification validates the fluid's consistent performance in the most demanding aerospace manufacturing environments, while also reflecting the company's commitment to fluid technology that meets the industry's highest standards.

HOCUT 4260 is a boron-free and formaldehyde-free heavy-duty metalworking fluid specifically developed for aerospace materials, suitable for machining 2000-series and 7000-series aluminum alloys, fiber composites, titanium alloys, high-alloy steels, stainless steels, and other high-temperature alloys.

The product's key performance features include: suitability for machining and grinding of all aerospace materials, allowing customers to use a single coolant throughout the manufacturing process; a specialized additive package that helps reduce tool wear, extend tool life, and lower tool costs; keeping parts, machines, and the surrounding work environment clean; long sump life, reducing fluid handling, labor, and maintenance requirements, achieving lower total cost of ownership through longer fluid life, longer tool life, and higher operational efficiency; low foaming characteristics during high-speed and high-pressure operations under various water hardness conditions; and a formulation free of boron, formaldehyde, chlorine, secondary amines, or phenol, offering excellent environmental, health, and safety properties.
