Quaker Chemical Corporation (the “Registrant”) registered 75,000 shares of its common stock, $1.00 par value per share (“Common Stock”) (including associated stock purchase rights, which were available at the time of registration), for issuance under the Quaker Chemical Corporation 2003 Director Stock Ownership Plan (the “2003 Plan”) pursuant to Registration Statement No. 333-104354 on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2003 (the “Registration Statement”). Upon shareholder approval of the Quaker Chemical Corporation 2013 Director Stock Ownership Plan (the “2013 Plan”) at the Registrant’s annual meeting of shareholders on May 8, 2013, the 2013 Plan replaced the 2003 Plan, and no further awards will be made under the 2003 Plan.

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement is being filed to deregister the 25,598 shares of Common Stock that have not been issued and are not subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding awards under the 2003 Plan as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
