CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Nov. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The IZOD IndyCar Series is one of the most competitive and technologically advanced racing series in the world. The racecars operate under extreme conditions that vary widely from track to track, and engineers exactingly monitor every detail of stress placed on the vehicle, creating a perfect real-world test situation.
In 2012, Quaker Chemical (KWR) formed a partnership with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing (SFHR) to see if together they could develop new greases that would reduce mechanical loss of energy and to extend the life of the bearings. The SFHR team was hoping for a subtle but crucial fraction-of-a-second advantage.
Since the partnership began the technical team from Quaker, along with SFHR's engineering team, have worked on projects designed to generate greases and lubricants specifically engineered to combat race conditions in the ultra-competitive IndyCar Series. And in its third year, the partnership has allowed Quaker to develop superior lubrication technology for use within its core industries. Most recently development work has been performed for CV joint grease and ball joints.
To share more detailed findings on the recent CV joint grease and ball joints as well as automotive grease for both electrical and mechanical component applications, Quaker's Brian Cichoski, Summit Business Development Manager, will present at the Society of Tribology and Lubrication – Detroit Chapter Dinner Meeting. This meeting will be held on November 19, 2014 at the Green Glass Building in Livonia, MI.
