Quaker Houghton’s HOCUT 4260 soluble coolant for metal-cutting applications has received additional global approvals from two aerospace and defence industry giants: BAE

Systems and Airbus. The company says the approvals validate the fluid’s performance capabilities in critical aerospace manufacturing applications and strengthen Quaker Houghton’s position in the aerospace market.

BAE Systems has approved HOCUT 4260 – a heavy-duty, boron- and formaldehyde-free metalworking fluid – for use in the grinding and machining of all aluminium alloys, steels and titanium deployed in BAE and F35 (Lockheed Martin) manufactured aircraft. Airbus has granted approval for machining plastics and composites, including unreinforced PA6, PA66, PEEK, PTFE, and non-continuous glass and carbon fibre reinforced materials.
