UCON® Quenchants Offer the Following Advantages

1. Non-Flammable, UCON® Quenchants are FM approved. Fire insurance, cost reduction can be anticipated.
2. Quenching with UCON® Quenchants eliminates smoke, soot and residues common to oil quenchants. Equipment maintenance and cleanliness are easier to achieve.
3. UCON® Quenchant parts do not require washing prior to tempering.
4. UCON® Quenchant contain no heavy metals. If external contaminants are avoided, used quenchant (e.g. from rinsing) may be sewered where permitted by local or federal statutes.
5. UCON® Quenchants exhibit low bio-chemical oxygen demand, further, at low dilutions, UCON® Quenchants are compatible with sewage bio-mass and aquatic life.
6. Quenching speeds can be adjusted by changes in both temperature, concentration and/or agitation.
7. Quenchant concentration can be monitored by hand refractometer readings supplemented by kinematic or Brookfied viscosity measurements.
8. Correct polymer selection for the type of metal to be quenched will produce low distortion and reduce residual stress.
9. UCON Quenchants are shipped from strategically located sites throughout the U.S. and Canada.
10. UCON® ULTRA PLUS SERIES will provide maximum bio-stability, corrosion protection and low foaming characteristics.
