Houghton FLUIDCARE® is a comprehensive chemical management program for manufacturers who want to reduce—and avoid—costs, improve process control and enhance finished-product quality. The key to its success is that it rewards process control rather than chemical usage. Houghton employs true chemical management experts who start by base lining ones cost per production unit, and then systematically takes steps to reduce that cost. By improving part quality and increasing efficiency, FLUIDCARE® enables one to provide customers with a better end product at a more competitive price. Houghton’s electronic chemical management system HOUGHTO-TREND® provides a complete chemical usage picture as well as operational performance snapshots in real-time. Only FLUIDCARE customers have access to this innovative web-based system, making it easy for managers to track and trend their chemical usage and performance data. Find out how many gallons of various fluids are used per year and if those amounts vary widely by department; if the amount of tramp oil in the coolant system is increasing over time; what products are being used and at what concentration; if your waste reduction program is a success; how your tooling costs are trending; and so much more.

The Houghton FLUIDCARE program is most successful when introduced to the plant as a partnership rather than just another chemical-supplier relationship. In addition, Houghton's technical resources to support its products and services are second to none in the industry. Our broad range of services including environmental management, waste treatment services and management of current Industrial Hygiene issues such as Myco bacteria.
