Shailcon I-93 Polymer Quenchant

Polymer Quenchant

Shailcon I-93 is a polyalkylene glycol (PAG)-based, water-soluble quenchant designed for heat treatment processes. It is a blend of organic polymers and corrosion inhibitors, providing controlled cooling rates while minimizing residual stresses and part distortion during quenching.

It is diluted with water to the desired working concentration before use, making it suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features & Benefits:

Applications:

Heat Treatment of Steels : Gears, shafts, bearing components, and automotive parts.

Aluminium Alloys : Suitable for quenching non-ferrous materials.

Induction Hardening : Offers uniform and crack-free surface hardening.

General Quenching : For components requiring precise hardness with reduced distortion.

Technical Highlights:

Base : Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) solution.

Corrosion Protection : Integrated inhibitors prevent rust on quenched parts.

Dilution : Typically diluted in water (e.g., 5-20% concentration based on quenching requirements).

Residual Film : Provides temporary corrosion protection; easily rinsed off if needed.

Minimizes Distortion : Reduces the risk of cracking and warping by ensuring uniform and controlled heat extraction.

Adjustable Cooling Rates : Cooling speed can be tailored by varying the polymer concentration.

Corrosion Protection : Built-in inhibitors protect workpieces and equipment from rust formation.

Suitable for Diverse Applications : Effective for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Cleaner Operations : Leaves minimal residue and is easy to wash off parts.

Non-Flammable : Ensures a safer working environment compared to oil quenchants.

Reduces Quench Cracking : Controlled quenching lowers thermal shock, enhancing part integrity.
