Quenching Oil
For controlled cooling, use quenching oil instead of water to minimize cracking and distortion after heat treating parts and tools. It's nonstaining and chlorine and sulfur free. Use full strength.
Heat-and-Quench Surface-Hardening Compounds for Steel
Create a hard, wear-resistant surface on carbon steel parts. Sprinkle compound over a heated part, heat again, and cool in quenching fluid.
Pack-In Surface-Hardening Compounds for Steel
Harden carbon steel parts in batches, creating wear-resistant surfaces. Place parts in a vented steel container, pack compound around parts, seal container tightly, and heat to 1750° F.
Surface-Protection Compounds for Steel
When heat treating steel to harden it, use these compounds to protect the surfaces you don’t want to harden. Also known as stop-off paint, all are compatible with gas mixtures that are used in gas carburizing and carbonitriding processes. Brush or dip the compounds on your surfaces and then air dry before heat treating. After heating, any residue that’s left behind can be easily washed away with hot water.
Solvent-based compounds stand up to temperature and humidity better than water-based compounds, so they dry quicker. To maintain their original consistency, use the optional xylene to thin these compounds.
Water-based compounds emit less VOCs (volatile organic compounds) than solvent-based compounds for less impact on the environment. To maintain their original consistency, simply use water to thin these compounds.
Compounds cannot be sold to the listed areas due to VOC regulations.

Cure-and-Seal Coatings for Concrete Floors
Seal freshly finished concrete to prevent it from drying too quickly during the curing process. These coatings also protect against mild chemicals, salts, soaps, and detergents. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer.
