CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Feb. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In today's world, mining faces considerable challenges. The difference between a productive operation and an inefficient one, often boils down to the right combination of people and products. Workers employ advances in chemistry to help reach higher product performance levels. It's this collaboration between mining companies and their suppliers that helps mines maintain, and in some cases even surpass, productivity goals. Quaker Chemical Corporation (NYSE:KWR) values this collaboration and supports customers at the local level: on-site, and one-on-one, to formulate solutions for their specific operation, with a portfolio that includes QUINTOLUBRIC^® fire-resistant longwall fluids and DUSTGRIP™ dust suppressants.

Tripling filter life through superior fluid dynamics and improved system cleanliness

Local communities along with regulatory agencies have put increased pressure on mining companies to improve methods of dust suppression. The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has required mine operators to increase the total incombustible content of the combined coal dust, rock dust and other dust; and has reduced the concentration limits for coal mine dust. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that facilities that generate dust minimize or mitigate the production of dust in their operation. To alleviate industry-related issues Quaker offers a family of DUSTGRIP™ products that:

Reduce the generation of airborne particulate matter from mines, roads, stockpiles, rail hauls, construction sites, quarries and other areas where air-born dust is a problem
Increase site safety and worker health
Are more effective than using water alone, reducing costs and saving time

Quaker will be showcasing these product lines at the 2015 SME (Society of Manufacturing Engineers) Annual Conference and Expo and CMA 117^th National Western Mining Conference, February 15^th-18^th, in Denver CO, Booth 736.
