☀️ How ready are your emulsions for the summer shutdown?

During the summer holiday period, many CNC machines come to a standstill & that’s exactly when bacteria get the opportunity to grow in your coolant emulsions.

The result is familiar to many operators:
❌ Unpleasant odours
❌ Reduced fluid quality
❌ Additional maintenance before restarting production

The good news: with the right preparation, these issues can be avoided. ✅

Here are some practical Q8Oils tips to keep your emulsion systems in top condition during shutdown periods 👇

🔹 Choose a bacteria-resistant emulsion
The Q8 Brunel XF product range is specifically formulated with enhanced resistance to bacterial growth, helping to maintain fluid stability during periods of downtime.

🔹 Remove tramp oils from the surface
Oil layers block oxygen, retain heat and create ideal conditions for bacterial growth. Using oil skimmers allows you to efficiently remove tramp oil and protect your emulsion. ⚙️

🔹 Keep the emulsion circulating
Circulating the emulsion in the tank keeps the fluid moving and oxygenated, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial growth. 🔄

🔹 Monitor the pH value of your emulsion
Bacteria struggle to survive at a pH level of 9 or higher. Regular checks with pH strips and timely adjustments help keep your emulsion healthy. 📊

With the right products, monitoring and expertise, Q8Oils supports you in keeping your machining processes stable, hygienic and ready to perform — even during extended shutdowns.

🏁 Monza Race Weekend Report

A strong and confidence-building weekend for Q8Oils ambassador Sebastien Baud at Monza, during the second round of the European GT3 Championship.

Qualifying on Sunday morning delivered a solid performance. Sébastien placed the Aston Martin inside the Top 15 of the session and within the competitive Silver Cup group.
However, the race itself was highly disrupted. After a difficult start and time lost, the car unfortunately dropped to the back of the Silver pack.

When Sébastien took over, he delivered a stint by setting the fastest lap of the race during his final tour. He also brought the car back into contention within the Silver Cup fight, just before multiple Safety Car periods neutralised the closing stages.

Despite the result not fully reflecting the pace, the weekend showed clear progress: strong qualifying ex*****on, and growing confidence in the car ahead of the season’s major target.
Now, focus shifts to preparation for the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa here in Belgium, a highlight of the season! Go Seb Go!
