Houghto-Quench 3430

Medium-Fast, High Quality Quench Oil

 

DESCRIPTION

 

Houghto-Quench 3430 is a medium speed quenching oil suitable for use at temperatures up to 180ºF (82ºC). It is based upon specialty solvent refined base oil to minimize oxidation and ensure consistent performance under the most arduous of operating conditions. A carefully formulated additive package is incorporated into Houghto-Quench 3430 to reduce the duration of the vapor blanket cooling stage and provide moderately accelerated quenching characteristics, together with excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability.
