Since 2004, QualiChem Metalworking has challenged the status quo. We have grown from a small specialty chemical company into a leading global supplier of metalworking fluids, cleaners, and corrosion inhibitors. Our approach is simple: Create the right PRODUCTS, Employ the right PEOPLE, and empower the right PARTNERS. Connect with us today to learn what QualiChem can do for you.

QualiChem, Inc., is a premier manufacturer of metalworking fluids, including coolants, straight oils, grinding fluids, forming fluids, and cleaners, serving the most advanced manufacturers in the aerospace, medical, energy, automotive, and consumer electronics industries. Our innovative technology utilizes unique additive packages in order to solve typical industry issues like foaming, odor, and residues to keep parts clean and operations running smoothly.

Refractometers are one of the most basic tools to measure water-diluted metalworking fluids'' concentration. In this video, John Wiley, Director of Global Marketing, provides a step-by-step guide for calibrating and using an analog and digital refractometer.

Taking a proper lab sample is crucial for accurate analysis and reliable test results. It ensures that the sample represents the true composition of the material being tested, minimizing any potential errors or discrepancies. By following standardized procedures and using appropriate sampling techniques, you can confidently obtain representative samples that will yield meaningful data.

Working alongside QualiChem and Star Metal Fluids, Central Valley Machine doubled its tool life while cutting coolant consumption in half. Longer-lasting cutting tools. Less coolant consumption. Cleaner machines. Greater process stability. Reduced operating costs. That is not a minor adjustment hiding inside a spreadsheet. That is a measurable improvement capable of affecting tooling budgets, machine availability, part quality, operator experience and overall profitability. QualiChem brings the chemistry: advanced metalworking fluids engineered to manage heat, improve lubricity, control foam, reject tramp oil, protect against corrosion and help extend both tool and sump life. Its product portfolio includes specialized solutions for different materials, applications and machining environments. QualiChem supplies the science. Star Metal Fluids helps translate that science into results on the shop floor by providing excellent service.
