                                  PART I

     As used in this Report, the term "Quaker," unless the context
otherwise requires, means Quaker Chemical Corporation, its subsidiaries,
and associated companies.

Item 1.        Business.
General Description
     Quaker develops, produces, and markets a broad range of formulated
chemical specialty products and services for various heavy industrial,
institutional, and manufacturing applications. Quaker's principal products
and services include: (i) rolling lubricants (used by manufacturers of
steel in the hot and cold rolling of steel); (ii) corrosion preventives
(used by steel and metalworking customers to protect metal during
manufacture, storage, and shipment); (iii) metal finishing compounds (used
to prepare metal surfaces for special treatments such as galvanizing and
tin plating and to prepare metal for further processing); (iv) machining
and grinding compounds (used by metalworking customers in cutting, shaping,
and grinding metal parts which require special treatment to enable them to
tolerate the manufacturing process); (v) forming compounds (used to
facilitate the drawing and extrusion of metal products); (vi) paper
production products (used as defoamers, release agents, softeners,
debonders, and dispersants); (vii) hydraulic fluids (used by steel,
metalworking, and other customers to operate hydraulically activated
equipment); (viii) products for the removal of hydrogen sulfide in various
industrial applications; and (ix) programs to provide recycling and
chemical management services.
     AC Products, Inc., a United States subsidiary, is a producer of
products primarily for the aerospace industry.  Businesses previously
conducted by Quaker Construction Products, Inc., QSC Products, Ltd., Multi-
Chemical Products, Inc., and Selby, Battersby & Co. were sold in 1994.
Collectively, these businesses made and/or sold sealants, coatings, and
flooring systems for construction, industrial use, and/or maritime use.
     In 1995, the Company entered into agreements to (i) acquire 90% of
the common stock of a chemical specialty business in Brazil, and (ii)
create a manufacturing joint venture in the People's Republic of China.
If consummated, these acquisitions will require cash investments in 1995
of approximately $5.4 million.  Additionally, the acquisition in Brazil
will require additional outlays in 1996 and 1997 totalling up to
approximately $2.6 million.
     For additional information regarding the aforementioned acquisitions
and divestitures, see Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
which appears on page 24 of the Registrant's 1994 Annual Report to
Shareholders, the incorporated portions of which are included as Exhibit 13
to this Report.

                                    2
<PAGE>
     Substantially all of Quaker's sales worldwide are made directly
through its own sales forces.  Quaker salesmen and saleswomen visit the
plants of customers regularly, and through training and experience, identify
production needs which can be resolved or alleviated either by adapting
Quaker's existing products or by applying new formulations developed in
Quaker's laboratories. Sales personnel may call upon Quaker's regional
managers, product managers, and members of its laboratory staff for
assistance in obtaining and setting up product tests and evaluating the
results of such tests.  In 1994, certain products were also sold in Canada,
Korea, and India by exclusive licensees under long-term royalty agreements.
     Generally, separate manufacturing facilities of a single customer are
served by different sales personnel.

Competition
     The chemical specialty industry is composed of a number of companies
of similar size as well as companies larger and smaller than Quaker. Quaker
cannot readily determine its precise position in the industry. Many
competitors are in fewer and more specialized product classifications or
provide different levels of technical services in terms of specific
formulations for individual customers. Competition in the industry is based
primarily on the ability to provide products which meet the needs of the
customer and render technical services and laboratory assistance to
customers and, to a lesser extent, on price.

Major Customers
     During 1994, Quaker's five largest customers (each composed of
multiple subsidiaries or divisions with semi-autonomous purchasing
authority) accounted for approximately 15% of its consolidated net sales
with the largest of these customers accounting for approximately 4% of
consolidated net sales. No one subsidiary or division of these five
customers accounted for more than 3% of consolidated net sales. During the
same period, approximately 46% of consolidated net sales were made to
customers in the steel industry.

Raw Materials
     Quaker uses over 500 raw materials, including mineral oils, fats and
fat derivatives, ethylene derivatives, solvents, surface active agents,
chlorinated paraffinic compounds, and a wide variety of organic and
inorganic compounds.  In 1994, only one raw material accounted for as much
as 10% of the total cost of Quaker's raw material purchases. Quaker has
multiple sources of supply for most materials, and Management believes that
the failure of any single supplier would not have a material adverse effect
upon its business.

                                    3
<PAGE>
Patents and Trademarks
     Quaker has a limited number of patents and patent applications,
including patents issued, applied for, or acquired in the United States and
in various foreign countries, some of which may prove to be material to its
business.  Principal reliance is placed upon Quaker's proprietary formulae
and the application of its skills and experience to meet customer needs.
Quaker's products are identified by trademarks which are registered
throughout its marketing area. Quaker makes little use of advertising but
relies heavily upon its reputation in the markets which it serves.

Research and Development--Laboratories
     Quaker's research and development laboratories are directed primarily
toward applied research and development since the nature of Quaker's
business requires continuing modification and improvement of formulations
to provide chemical specialties to satisfy customer requirements.
     Quaker maintains quality control laboratory facilities in each of its
manufacturing locations. In addition, Quaker maintains in Conshohocken,
Pennsylvania, laboratory facilities which are devoted primarily to applied
research and development.
     Most of Quaker's subsidiaries and associates also have laboratory
facilities. Although not as complete as the Conshohocken laboratories,
these facilities are generally sufficient for the requirements of the
customers being served. If problems are encountered which cannot be
resolved by local laboratories, such problems may be referred to the
corporate laboratory staff, which also defines and supervises corporate
research projects.
     Approximately 181 persons, of whom 105 have B. S. degrees and 28 have
B.S. and advanced degrees, are employed in Quaker's laboratories.

Number of Employees
     On December 31, 1994, Quaker had 955 full-time employees, of whom 334
were employed by the parent company, 529 were employed by its non-U.S.
subsidiaries and associates, and 92 were employed by all U.S.
subsidiaries.

Product Classification
     Incorporated by reference is the information concerning product
classification by markets served appearing under the caption "Supplemental
Financial Information" on page 26 of the Registrant's 1994 Annual Report to
Shareholders, the incorporated portions of which are included as Exhibit 13
to this Report.

Non-U.S. Activities
     Incorporated by reference is the information concerning non-U.S.
activities appearing in Note 9 to Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements on page 23 of the Registrant's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders
and under the caption "General" of the Operations section of
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations which appear on pages 28 and 29, respectively, of the aforementioned
Report, the incorporated portions of which are included as Exhibit 13 to
this Report.

Item 2.        Properties.
     Quaker's principal facilities in the United States are located in
Conshohocken, Pennsylvania and Detroit, Michigan.  Quaker's non-U.S.
subsidiaries own facilities in Woodchester, England; Uithoorn, The
Netherlands; Villeneuve, France; and Santa Perpetua de Mogoda, Spain.  All
of these facilities are owned mortgage free. Financing for the Corporate
Technical Center in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania was arranged through the use
of industrial revenue and development bonds with an outstanding balance at
December 31, 1994 of $5,000,000.  A non-operating facility in Pomona,
California and operating facilities in Verona, Italy and Sapulpa,
Oklahoma were sold in 1994.
     Quaker's aforementioned facilities consist of various manufacturing,
administrative, warehouse, and laboratory buildings.  Substantially all of
the buildings are of fire-resistant construction and are equipped with
sprinkler systems. All facilities are primarily of masonry and/or steel
construction and are adequate and suitable for Quaker's present operations.
The Company has a program to identify needed capital improvements which
will be implemented as Management considers necessary or desirable.  Most
locations have various numbers of raw material storage tanks ranging from
6 to 63 having a capacity from 500 to 80,000 gallons each and processing
or manufacturing vessels ranging in capacity from 50 to 12,000 gallons
each.
     In order to facilitate compliance with applicable federal, state, and
local statutes and regulations relating to occupational health and safety
and protection of the environment, the Company has an ongoing program of
site assessment, currently directed primarily to facilities in the United
States for the purpose of identifying capital expenditures or other actions
that may be necessary to comply with such requirements.  The program
includes periodic inspections of each facility in the United States by
Quaker and/or independent environmental experts, as well as ongoing
inspections by on-site personnel.  Such inspections are addressed to
operational matters, recordkeeping, reporting requirements, and capital
improvements.  In 1994, capital expenditures directed solely or primarily
to regulatory compliance amounted to approximately $700,000.

                                    5
<PAGE>
     Quaker's executive offices are located in a four-story building
containing a total of approximately 47,000 square feet. A corporate
technical center containing approximately 28,700 square feet houses the
laboratory facility. Both of these facilities are adjacent to Quaker's
manufacturing facility in Conshohocken.
     Quaker's Mexican associate (40% owned) owns a plant in Monterrey,
Mexico.

Item 3.        Legal Proceedings.
     The Company is a party to proceedings, cases, and requests for
information from, and negotiations with, various claimants and federal and
state agencies relating to various matters including environmental matters,
none of which is expected to result in monetary sanctions in an amount or
in an award that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition.  For information concerning pending asbestos-related
cases against a subsidiary and amounts accrued associated with certain
environmental investigatory and noncapital remediation costs, refer to
Note 11 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appears on
page 24 in the Registrant's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders, the
incorporated portions of which are included as Exhibit 13 to this Report.

Item 4.        Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
     No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
last quarter of the period covered by this Report.

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     (all dollar amounts in thousands except share and per share data)


NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation
     All majority-owned subsidiaries are included in Quaker Chemical
Corporation's (the "company's") consolidated financial statements, with
appropriate elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The
consolidated balance sheet includes total assets of $86,723 and $79,651 and
total liabilities of $21,705 and $19,221 in 1994 and 1993, respectively, of
non-U.S. subsidiaries. The consolidated statement of operations includes
net income of non-U.S. subsidiaries of $4,372, $3,729, and $9,391 in 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively. Investments in associated (less than majority-
owned) companies are stated at the company's equity in their underlying net
assets.

Translation of foreign currency
     Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries and associated
companies are translated into U.S. dollars at the respective rates of
exchange prevailing at the end of the year. Income and expense accounts are
translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year.
Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded directly
in shareholders' equity and will be included in income only upon sale or
liquidation of the underlying investment.

Cash and cash equivalents
     The company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Inventories
     Inventories of the parent company are valued at the lower of cost or
market value, with cost determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method. Inventories of subsidiaries are valued primarily at first-in,
first-out cost, but not in excess of market value.

Property, plant and equipment
     Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, and capital leases
are recorded at the present value of future minimum
lease payments. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method on
an individual asset basis over the following estimated useful lives:
buildings and improvements, 10 to 45 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to
15 years; and capital leases, remaining life of the lease. At December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively, $1,214 and $1,301 of leased equipment and
accumulated depreciation thereon in the amount $848 and $520 in 1994 and
1993, respectively, are included in the property, plant and equipment
accounts.
     Expenditures for renewals and betterments which increase the estimated
useful life or capacity of the assets are capitalized; expenditures for
repairs and maintenance are charged to income as incurred.

Excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies and
other noncurrent assets
     Excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies and other
noncurrent assets consist primarily of intangibles arising from
acquisitions. They are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods of 5 to 40 years (5 to 20 years on acquisitions subsequent to
1991). At December 31, 1994 and 1993, accumulated amortization of the
excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies amounted to $1,754 and
$1,621, respectively.

Pension and postretirement benefit plans
     The company's policy is to fund pension costs allowable for income tax
purposes. See Note 6 for the cost of pension and postretirement benefits
other than pensions.

Revenue recognition
     Sales are recorded primarily when products are shipped to customers.
Other income, principally license fees and royalties offset by
miscellaneous expenses, is recorded when earned. License fees from
unconsolidated non-U.S. associates, and royalties from third parties
amounted to $1,841, $1,254, and $1,135 in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

Research and development costs
     Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Company
sponsored research and development expenses during 1994, 1993 and 1992 were
$9,919, $11,037, and $11,134, respectively.

Earnings per share
     Earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the year.

                                    17
<PAGE>
Concentration of credit risk
     Financial instruments, which potentially subject the company to a
concentration of credit risk, principally consist of cash equivalents,
short-term investments and trade receivables. The company invests excess
cash in money market securities and financial instruments having maturities
typically within 90 days. The company has not experienced losses from the
aforementioned investments.
     The company sells its principal products to the major steel,
automotive and related companies around the world. The company maintains
allowances for potential credit losses. Historically, the company has
experienced some losses related to bankruptcy proceedings of major steel
companies in the U.S. However, such losses have been immaterial.

Environmental liabilities and expenditures
     Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable
that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the
liability can be reasonably estimated. Accrued liabilities are exclusive of
claims against third parties and are not discounted. Environmental costs
and remediation costs are capitalized if the costs increase the value of
the property from the date acquired or constructed and/or mitigate or
prevent contamination in the future.

Reclassification
     Certain reclassifications of prior years' data have been made to
improve comparability.


NOTE 2--REPOSITIONING OF OPERATIONS

     In 1993, in response to changing economic and competitive market
dynamics, the company implemented a broad scope program of changes designed
to improve operating efficiency. The repositioning program included
activities associated with the consolidation of certain of the company's
facilities; closure and sale of the company's manufacturing facilities in
Pomona, California and Verona, Italy; the divestiture of nonstrategic
business operations and workforce reductions. The consolidated statement of
operations for 1993 included charges before income taxes of $11,900 ($7,854
after tax, or $.85 per share) related to this program. Of the total 1993
charges, $5,200 related to the workforce reductions, while the remaining
$6,700 provided for the other aspects of the program. The cash outlays in
1993 associated with the program were approximately $2,200. As of December
31, 1993, approximately $7,600 and $2,100 remained in accrued liabilities
and other noncurrent liabilities, respectively.
     During 1994, the company substantially completed the consolidation of
certain facilities in the United States and Europe; sold its manufacturing
facilities in Pomona, California and Verona, Italy; divested the businesses
which comprised its wholly-owned subsidiary, Quaker Construction Products,
Inc., and achieved a majority of the workforce reductions outlined in the
1993 program. As of December 31, 1994, it was determined that the
repositioning activities would be accomplished for less than originally
anticipated and accordingly, the company reduced operating expenses by $525
($347 after tax, or $.04 per share). The cash outlays in 1994 associated
with the program were approximately $3,300. As of December 31, 1994,
approximately $1,800 and $2,000 remained in accrued liabilities and other
noncurrent liabilities, respectively. These future cash outlays primarily
represent termination benefits related to the workforce reductions.


NOTE 3--ASSOCIATED COMPANIES

NOTE 4--INVENTORIES

     Inventories valued under the LIFO method amounted to $4,913 and $4,879
at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The estimated replacement
costs for these inventories using the first-in, first-out method were
approximately $6,407 and $6,115, respectively.

     United States income taxes have not been provided on the undistributed
earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries since it is the company's intention
to continue to reinvest these earnings abroad for working capital and
expansion needs. The amount of such undistributed earnings at December 31,
1994 was approximately $53,000. Any income tax liability which might result
from ultimate remittance of these earnings is expected to be substantially
offset by foreign tax credits.
     The benefits of net operating losses approximating $1,300, expiring in
1996 and later, have been recorded.



NOTE 6--EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Pension plans
     The company maintains various noncontributory retirement plans
covering substantially all of the employees of the company and its U.S.
subsidiaries. The benefits for these plans are based primarily on years of
service and employees' pay near retirement.
     The plans of non-U.S. subsidiaries are, for the most part, either
fully insured or integrated with the local governments'
plans and are not subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions."

The pension costs for all plans include the following components:

                                                      1994      1993      1992

The significant assumptions for the plans were as follows:

Long-term rate of return on plan assets              9.25%      9.5%      9.5%

Profit sharing plan
     The parent company also maintains a qualified profit sharing plan
covering all employees other than those who are compensated on a commission
basis. Contributions for 1994 and 1992 were $367 and $310, respectively. No
contributions were made in 1993.

Other postretirement and postemployment benefits
     The company has postretirement benefit plans that provide medical and
life insurance benefits for certain retired employees of the parent
company. These benefits vary based on age, years of service and retirement
date. Coverage of health benefits under the plan may require the retiree to
make payments where the insured equivalent costs exceed the company's fixed
contribution. The cost of the life insurance benefit plan, which provides a
flat two thousand dollars per retiree, is noncontributory. Both the medical
and life insurance plans are currently unfunded.

     The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation was 8.0% and 7.5% in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
     In valuing costs and liabilities, different health care cost trend
rates were used for retirees under and over age 65. The average assumed
rate for medical benefits for all retirees was 8.7% in 1994--gradually
decreasing to 5.5% over 12 years. A 1% increase in the health care cost
trend rate would increase aggregate service cost for 1994 by $44 and the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 by
$621.
     The parent company maintains a plan under which the company will
provide, in certain cases, supplemental retirement benefits to officers of
the parent company. Benefits payable under the plan are based on a
combination of years of service and existing post-retirement benefits.
Included in total pension costs are charges of $353, $270, and $330 in
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, representing the annual accrued benefits
under this plan.
     Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS
112, "Employer's Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." The cumulative
effect of adoption of SFAS 112 was not material.

     In 1992, the company entered into a long-term private placement of
$15,000 of 6.64% notes payable requiring semiannual principal payments of
$1,667 beginning July 8, 1993 and continuing through 1997. The long-term
financing agreements require, among other things, the maintenance of
working capital and net worth ratios. The company is in compliance with
these requirements.
     During the next three years, payments on long-term debt are due as
follows: $3,697, $3,815, and $3,392 in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
     At December 31, 1994, the company had outstanding short-term
borrowings with banks under non-confirmed lines of credit in the aggregate
of $4,365. The weighted average interest rate on the majority of such
borrowings was 4.5% during 1994. The company also has available a $10,000
unsecured line of credit. Any borrowings under this line of credit will be
at the bank's most competitive rate of interest in effect at the time.
There were no borrowings against the line of credit during 1994 and 1993.
     At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the value at which the financial
instruments were recorded approximated their fair market value.

     The treasury stock is held for use by the various company plans which
require the issuance of the company's common stock.
     The company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, $1.00 par value, subject to approval by the Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors may designate one or more series of preferred stock and
the number of shares, rights, preferences and limitations of each series.
None of the preferred stock has been issued.
     Under provisions of a stock purchase plan, which permits employees to
purchase shares of stock at 85% of the market value, 29,736 shares, 38,399
shares, and 35,277 shares were issued from treasury in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. The number of shares that may be purchased by an employee in
any year is limited by factors dependent upon the market value of the stock
and the employee's base salary. At December 31, 1994, 217,189 shares may be
issued under the plan.
     The company has a long-term performance incentive plan for key
employees which provides for the granting of options to purchase stock at
prices not less than market value on the date of the grant. Options are
exercisable one year after the date of the grant for a period of time
determined by the company not to exceed ten years from the date of the
grant.
     The table below summarizes transactions in the plan during 1994, 1993
and 1992.

     No options were exercised in 1994. Options were exercised for cash and
the surrender of 5,739 and 41,770 previously outstanding shares in 1993 and
1992, respectively, resulting in the net issuance of 7,947 shares in 1993
and 86,587 shares in 1992. Options to purchase 787,003 shares were
available at December 31, 1994 for future grants.

     The plan also provides for the issuance of performance incentive
units, the value of which is determined based on operating results over a
four-year period. The effect on operations of the change in the estimated
value of incentive units during the year was zero in 1994 and 1993 and a
credit of $292 in 1992.
     On February 7, 1990, the company declared a dividend distribution to
shareholders of record on February 20, 1990 which, after giving effect for
the three-for-two stock split effective July 30, 1990, was in the form of
two stock purchase rights (the "Rights") for each three shares of common
stock outstanding. The Rights become exercisable if a person or group
acquires or announces a tender offer which would result in such person's
acquisition of 20% or more of the company's common stock. The Rights also
become exercisable if the Board of Directors declares a person to be an
"adverse person" and that person has obtained not less than 10% of the
outstanding shares of the company's common stock.
     Each Right, when exercisable, entitles the registered holder to
purchase one one-hundredth of a share of a newly authorized Series A
preferred stock at an exercise price of seventy-two dollars per share
subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. In addition, if a person or
group acquires 20% or more of the outstanding shares of the company's
common stock, without first obtaining Board of Directors' approval, as
required by the terms of the Rights Agreement, or a person is declared an
adverse person, each Right will then entitle its holder (other than such
person or members of any such group) to purchase, at the Right's then
current exercise price, a number of shares of the company's common stock
having a total market value of twice the Right's exercise price.
     In the event that the company merges with or transfers 50% or more of
its assets or earnings to any entity after the Rights become exercisable,
holders of Rights may purchase, at the Right's then current exercise price,
common stock of the acquiring entity having a value equal to twice the
Right's exercise price.
     In addition, at any time after a person acquires 20% of the
outstanding shares of common stock and prior to the acquisition by such
person of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock, the
company may exchange the Rights (other than the Rights which have become
null and void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of
common stock or equivalent share of preferred stock, per Right.
     The Board of Directors can redeem the Rights for $.01 per Right at any
time prior to the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership
of 20% or more of the company's common stock or a person being declared an
adverse person. Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof will have no
rights as a shareholder of the company, including without limitation, the
right to vote or to receive dividends. Unless earlier redeemed or
exchanged, the Rights will expire on February 20, 2000.

     Transfers between geographic areas are not material. Operating profit
comprises revenue less related costs and expenses. Nonoperating expenses
primarily consist of general corporate expenses identified as not being a
cost of operations, interest expense, interest income and license fees from
unconsolidated associates. Nonoperating assets, consisting primarily of
cash equivalents and short-term investments, have not been included with
identifiable assets. No single customer accounted for 10% of net sales in
1994, 1993, or 1992. A substantial portion of consolidated sales on a
global basis is made to the steel industry (see Classification of Products
by Markets Served on page 26 of this report), and as a result, accounts
receivable generally reflect a similar distribution of receivables from
customers in these markets.


NOTE 10--BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

     In 1995, the company entered into an agreement to acquire 90% of the
common stock of Celumi S.A., a metalworking chemical specialty business in
Brazil. The total acquisition cost is expected to be approximately $7,000
in cash, $4,400 of which is required in 1995 with the remainder due in the
succeeding two years. The transaction is subject to satisfactory completion
of the due diligence process.
     Also, in 1995, the company entered into an agreement with Wuxi Oil
Refinery, for the creation of a joint venture in the People's Republic of
China. The company's initial contribution to the venture will be less than
$1,000 in cash and certain assets related to the formulation, manufacture
and sale of chemical specialty products for the steel industry.
     Effective December 28, 1994, the company acquired, for approximately
$1,800 in cash, certain assets relating to the formulation, manufacture,
and sale of cutting fluids from Perstorp AB, a Swedish company. The effect
on the consolidated statements has not been material.
     Pursuant to the plans identified in the company's 1993 repositioning
program (see Note 2), the sales of certain of the company businesses and
assets were completed in 1994. Effective November 7, 1994, the company
completed the sale of the flooring business of Quaker Construction
Products, Inc. ("QCP") for approximately $2,800. In addition, effective
October 20, 1994 and October 1, 1994, respectively, the company completed
the sales of its Verona, Italy and Pomona, California manufacturing
facilities, which had ceased production in mid-1994 and 1993, for
approximately $2,600 in cash and $200 due within one year. Effective
September 30, 1994, the company completed the sale of the coatings and
waterproofing business of QCP for approximately $8,100.
     On March 24, 1994, the company entered into an agreement with Fluid
Recycling Services, Incorporated for the creation of a 50/50 joint venture.
During 1994, the company made cash investments and advances of
approximately $4,500 with additional investments expected over the next few
years based on the growth of the venture. The effect on the consolidated
statements has not been material.
     Effective May 14, 1993, the company acquired, for approximately
$10,700 in cash, 100% of the common stock of Raffineries de l'Ile de France
("RIF"), a metalworking chemical specialty business in France. The results
of the operations of RIF are included in the consolidated financial
statements from that date. The effect on the consolidated statements has
not been material.
     As part of a plan to exit from the petroleum production chemicals
market, effective February 12, 1992, the company acquired, for
approximately $4,400 in cash, the remaining 57.5% interest in Alpine Labs,
making it wholly owned by the company. The results of operations, which
were not material, are included in the consolidated financial statements
from that date. Pursuant to the plan noted above, effective July 27, 1993,
the company completed the sale of its petroleum production chemical
operations' assets, the principal component of which was the
SULFA-SCRUB (registered trademark) patents and technology, to the Petrolite
Corporation for $6,500 in cash, $2,000 due within three years and future
royalty payments. In addition, the agreement of sale provides that the
Petrolite Corporation grant back to the company a license to sell products
incorporating the technology in certain markets not serviced by the
Petrolite Corporation. The effect of the sale on the consolidated
statements was not material.
     Effective January 1, 1992, the company acquired, for $8,600 in cash,
50% of the common stock of Quaker Chemical, S.A. in Spain making it a
wholly-owned subsidiary. The results of operations of Quaker Chemical, S.A.
are included in the consolidated financial statements from that date. The
effect on the consolidated statements has not been material.


NOTE 11--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     A wholly-owned subsidiary of the company is a co-defendant in claims
filed by multiple claimants alleging injury due to exposure to asbestos.
The company has reached a settlement with a group of these claimants and
has petitioned the courts for a declaratory judgement against one of its
insurance carriers for certain coverage which is in dispute. The company
believes that the potential uninsured liability associated with this action
is approximately $1,800.
     The company has accrued for certain environmental investigatory and
noncapital remediation costs consistent with the policy set forth in Note
1. In 1994, the company identified certain soil and groundwater
contamination at AC Products, Inc. ("ACP"), a wholly-owned California
subsidiary. A remediation plan has been developed and approved by the Santa
Ana Regional Water Quality Board. The company believes that the potential
uninsured liability associated with this remediation plan ranges from $600
to $1,100 or more, for which the company has accrued approximately $800.
Although there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of environmental
proceedings, the company believes that it has made adequate accruals for
all cleanup and other related costs with respect to environmental problems
of which it is aware. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the company has
accrued approximately $1,200 and $300, respectively, to provide for
anticipated future environmental assessments and remediation costs.

Quaker Chemical Corporation
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The company is in sound financial condition and remains strong in its
ability to generate adequate cash to meet the needs of current operations
and to fund programs for future growth and expansion. Major sources and
uses of cash during 1994 included: proceeds of $10.9 million from the sale
of the businesses which comprised its wholly-owned subsidiary, Quaker
Construction Products, Inc. ("QCP"); proceeds of $2.6 million from the sale
of the company's manufacturing facilities in Pomona, California and Verona,
Italy; $9.3 million in expenditures for additions to property, plant,
equipment and other assets; payments of $8.2 million for 459,000
outstanding shares of the company's common stock as part of a share
repurchase program; investments and advances of approximately $4.5 million
in the company's Fluid Recycling Services joint venture; cash outlays
associated with the 1993 repositioning program of approximately $3.3
million, and the purchase of certain assets relating to the formulation,
manufacture and sale of cutting fluids for $1.8 million from Perstorp AB.
These items, along with increases in non-cash working capital (primarily
increases in accounts receivable generated from higher revenues), were the
principal reasons for the decrease of $12.1 million in the company's net
cash position (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments less
short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt and capital
leases) to $3.3 million. The current ratio was 1.9/1 in 1994 as compared to
2.0/1 in 1993 reflecting the impacts of the aforementioned changes in net
cash and non-cash working capital.
     Expenditures for property, plant and equipment in 1994 included the
completion of new software systems in the U.S., environmental and
regulatory compliance efforts in the amount of $.7 million, and upgrades of
manufacturing capabilities at various locations. Capital expenditures for
1995 are expected to be in the range of $9-11 million and include various
upgrades of manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. and Europe and an
estimated $1.3 million for environmental and regulatory compliance. Cash
outlays in 1995 associated with the repositioning program are anticipated
to be approximately $1.8 million.The company believes that funds generated
internally should be sufficient to finance payments for capital
expenditures and the repositioning program.
     The company has available $10 million in a line of credit and believes
that additional bank borrowings could be negotiated at competitive rates
based on its debt-equity ratio and current levels of operating performance.
The company is capable of supporting the anticipated growth in operations
during 1995, growth in dividends to shareholders, stock repurchases and
possible acquisition opportunities closely aligned with key business
strategies through internally generated funds supplemented with debt as
needed. In this regard, during 1995 the company entered into agreements to
(i) acquire 90% of the common stock of a chemical specialty business in
Brazil, and (ii) create a joint venture in the People's Republic of China
(see Note 10 on page 24). These acquisitions will require cash investments
in 1995 of approximately $5.4 million. Additionally, the acquisition in
Brazil will require additional outlays in 1996 and 1997 totaling
approximately $2.6 million. In 1995, the company's Board of Directors
authorized management to purchase in 1995 and later years, an additional
500,000 shares of the company's common stock, bringing the total current
authorization to 1,000,000 shares.

Operations
Comparison of 1994 with 1993

     Consolidated net sales for 1994 were about even with 1993 as positive
volume impact in core markets and an increase from 1993 acquisitions in
France and Argentina fully offset the decrease in sales resulting from the
divestiture of QCP. The influence on net sales in 1994 of changes in
price/mix and currency translation were negligible as a 1% reduction from
price/mix was offset by a 1% increase from currency translation
(fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate local
currency statements to dollars). The core market volume improvement was
attributable primarily to increased customer production levels in the U.S.
and Europe; synergistic benefits from a 1993 French metalworking company
acquisition; increased revenue in the U.S. from total fluid and chemical
management service contracts; and increased sales to the steel and can
markets in the Asia/Pacific region. Sales to the major U.S. markets were
steady throughout 1994. After a slow start, sales in Europe increased in
the second half of the year, due in large part to the positive impact of
the European economic recovery on steel and automotive production levels.
Sales to the aircraft and aerospace industries were below 1993 due to
continued low production levels.
     Income from operations before repositioning (credits) charges improved
$5.4 million (55%) over 1993. The improvement over 1993 reflects the
positive impact of increased volume in core markets and benefits associated
with the 1993 repositioning program. These positive impacts were tempered
somewhat by investment costs related to the enhancement of marketing
capabilities and infrastructure in the Asia/Pacific and South America
regions, as well as raw material cost inflation, particularly in Europe,
which became evident late in the year. The company is encouraged by trends
in customer production levels, especially in Europe. However, raw material
cost inflation could have a dampening effect on earnings in the early part
of 1995 due to contractual pricing agreements with a number of customers in
both the U.S. and European markets and resistance to price increases in
some of the company's major markets.
     Pursuant to the plans identified in the company's 1993 repositioning
program, during 1994, the company substantially completed the consolidation
of certain facilities in the U.S. and Europe; sold its manufacturing
facilities in Pomona, California and Verona, Italy; divested the businesses
which comprised its wholly-owned subsidiary, QCP, and achieved a majority
of the workforce reductions outlined in the program. As of December 31,
1994, it was determined that the repositioning activities would be
accomplished for less than originally anticipated and, accordingly, the
company reduced operating expenses by $.5 million ($.3 million after tax or
$.04 per share).

                                    26

     Operating margins, before repositioning (credits) charges, improved in
1994, when compared to 1993 as a result of the aforementioned increased
volume in core markets and cost savings associated with the repositioning
program. The estimated after-tax financial savings generated in 1994 due to
the repositioning program were approximately $.20 per share. Other income
rose primarily as a result of increased royalty income. Interest expense
declined slightly due to reduced overall borrowings in 1994 while interest
income declined due to lower cash holdings by the company. The decrease in
equity in net income from associated companies was due primarily to
business development investments in the company's Fluid Recycling Services
joint venture. The positive influence of currency translation on net income
in 1994 was approximately $.01 per share.

Comparison of 1993 with 1992

     Consolidated net sales for 1993 decreased $17.5 million (8%) while
income from operations before repositioning charges decreased $7.9 million
(45%) versus 1992. In 1993, the company recorded repositioning charges of
$11.9 million ($7.9 million after tax or $.85 per share) for the costs
associated with a broad scope program of changes designed to improve
operating efficiency. The repositioning program included activities
associated with the consolidation of certain of the company's facilities;
closure and sale of the company's manufacturing facilities in Pomona,
California and Verona, Italy; the divestiture of nonstrategic business
operations and workforce reductions.
     The 1993 consolidated sales decrease was due to two main factors: a 4%
decline in volume and a 4% reduction associated with currency translation
as the U.S. dollar strengthened against most major currencies during 1993.
The decrease in volume for the year was attributable primarily to: a
reduction in orders shipped to the People's Republic of China, as that
country worked down an earlier buildup of inventory; the European
recession's impact on customer production levels in markets served by the
company; and the adverse effect of lower production rates in the aircraft
and aerospace industry.
     Operating margins, before the repositioning charges, declined in 1993
when compared to 1992 due mainly to the negative leverage effect of fixed
costs on reduced sales volume. In 1993, the combination of lower operating
results, foreign taxes on earnings at rates different than the U.S. federal
tax rate and the influence of non-deductible expenses, such as goodwill
amortization, resulted in a tax expense on a loss before taxes. The
negative influence of currency translation on net income in 1993 was
approximately $.8 million ($.09 per share). The decrease in equity in net
income from associated companies was primarily due to lower earnings from
the company's Mexican affiliate.

General

     The company is involved in environmental cleanup activities or
litigation in connection with existing plant locations and former waste
disposal sites (see Note 11 on page 24). This involvement has not had, nor
is it expected to have, a material effect on the company's earnings or
financial position.
     The company does not use financial instruments which expose it to
significant risk involving foreign currency transactions; however, the size
of non-U.S. activities has a significant impact on reported operating
results and the attendant net assets. During the past three years, sales by
non-U.S. subsidiaries accounted for approximately 44-50% of the dollar
amount of consolidated sales. In the same period, these subsidiaries
accounted for approximately 59-71% of consolidated operating profit
(see Note 9 on page 23). The greater profitability of non-U.S. sales during
this period is attributable to higher unit selling prices and lower fixed
overhead and selling costs.
