Description
Enviroquench – 5 gallon pail (Water Based Quenchant)
6000056 Enviroquench ® is a new environmentally friendly water based polymer quenchant that can provide a quenching response like that of fast quench oil. It is far superior to oil in its safety and environmental characteristics. It is non flammable, provides desirable cooling characteristics, more reliable control in use, little or no environmental impact and better economy.
Unlike polyalkylene glycols, SKU 6000056 Enviroquench is completely water soluble at all concentrations and temperatures. It causes little or no foaming, contains a biocide and is fortified with suitable additives to prevent multi-metal corrosion. At 25% concentration and 120 Deg F (49 Deg C) and good agitation, ENVIROQUENCH® provides quenching response at all stages of quenching that approximates those exhibited by fast quench oils. Consequently, those conditions necessary for achieving maximum hardness in steel with minimum distortion or
cracking can be realized. However, to obtain the best results for a particular quenching application, it is highly recommended to optimize the main operating parameters such as concentration, temperature, agitation, duration of quenching, loading pattern etc. This optimization is essential since different conditions may be required for different steel or parts made of the same steel but differing in size.
Most of the polymer film deposited on the metal surface during quenching re-dissolves in the solution thus minimizing the drag-out losses. The remaining film is quickly and completely washed off with just plain water at ambient temperature.

6000056 Enviroquench CONCENTRATION CONTROL:
Shell Cup Test Method (Shell Cup #2)
1. Submerge the cup in the 80°F sediment and air free solution. Allow approximately 30 seconds for the cup to attain sample temperature.
2. Lift the cup vertically out of the solution, starting the stopwatch as the bottom of the cup breaks the surface.
3. Record the time required for the cup to empty, stopping the watch when the stream first breaks.
4. Read concentration from the plot of time (seconds) versus percent by volume concentration.
