All of our products require various specifications before they can be distributed – That’s our commitment to quality! Our Laboratory is responsible for Quality Control (QC) testing and insuring every blend exceeds our quality standards. Testing varies from product to product, from our Eastern Premium to Excel Metalworking Fluids line, but EVERY sample is both visually inspected and scanned with our FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectrometer to insure the molecular “fingerprint” is correct and detect any potential contamination. The FTIR can also aid in reverse engineering. FTIR is used in Quality Control/Quality Assurance to insure that all components are present and in proper quantities.

We want to ensure the product that we’re delivering is exactly that. Plain and simple.

We also have calibrated Cannon-Fenske tubes and oil baths at 40°C and 100°C to measure the kinematic viscosity of our product at the appropriate temperature and can calculate its viscosity index when needed. Some of our other QC methods include measuring pH, alkalinity, and density.
