Polyquench 15XN

Description

‍

POLYQUENCH 15-XN is a water solution of an organic polymer, non-nitrite corrosion inhibitor, and biocide. The normal solubility of the polymer provides a wide temperature range of application. The quenching results are determined by the combined action of concentration, temperature, and degree of agitation. Residue remaining on the as-quenched parts is non-sticky, lubricious in nature and readily water washable. These physical properties make POLYQUENCH 15-XN a favorite choice for induction hardening processes.

Key Properties

• Composed of an organic polymer, a non-nitrite corrosion inhibitor, and a biocide. It is highly soluble in water in all proportions, which facilitates its use in various industrial applications.
• Has a clear, light amber appearance and exhibits a viscosity of 190 cSt at 40°C. Its specific gravity is noted as 1.05, and it has a pH value of 9.5. Additionally, its freezing point is -9°C, allowing for use in colder conditions without freezing.
• Can be used in concentrations ranging from 1% to 30% by volume in temperatures from ambient up to 60°C. Adequate agitation (greater than 0.5 m/s) is recommended to ensure effective quenching results, which are crucial for metallurgical transformations such as induction hardening processes.
• The inherent corrosion inhibitors in POLYQUENCH 15-XN provide substantial protection against rust. If additional corrosion resistance is required, a small amount of RUST INHIBITOR XN can be added without affecting the quenching properties.
