                                   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 for various heavy industrial, institutional, and
manufacturing applications.  Quaker's principal products 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.  During 1993, Quaker developed programs to provide
recycling and chemical management services.

    In 1994, Quaker entered into an agreement for the creation of a
joint venture which is expected to enhance the Total Fluid Management (TFM)
service capabilities of Quaker. An initial cash investment of
approximately $3,000,000 has been made with additional investments expected
based on the growth of the venture.

    Other specialty products and services are produced and marketed by
Quaker's domestic subsidiaries.  AC Products, Inc., Quaker Construction
Products, Inc., QSC Products, Ltd., and Multi-Chemical Products, Inc.
manufacture and/or sell sealants and coatings for aerospace, construction, and
industrial use.  Selby, Battersby & Co. manufactures and sells trowel-applied
flooring systems which derive their specialty characteristics from the
different resins used and the methods of their application.

    During the third quarter 1992, as part of a plan to exit from the
petroleum production chemicals market, Quaker entered into an agreement to
sell certain of its petroleum production chemical operations assets, the
principal component of which is technology used in the removal of hydrogen
sulfide and organic sulfides from liquid and gaseous streams, embodied in the
SULFA-SCRUB(R) product series.  This transaction was consummated in 1993.
Quaker acquired in May 1993 a French producer of metalworking fluids at a
price of approximately French Francs 53,000,000 (approximately US
$10,700,000), to reinforce Quaker's existing metalworking operations in
Europe.

                                      2



    Substantially all of Quaker's sales worldwide are made directly through
its own sales forces.  Quaker salesmen 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 new
formulations developed in Quaker's laboratories.  Salesmen 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 1993, certain products were also sold in
Canada, Korea, India, and Argentina by exclusive licensees under long-term
royalty agreements.

    Generally, separate manufacturing facilities of a single customer are
served by different salesmen.

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 1993, Quaker's five largest customers (each composed of multiple
subsidiaries or divisions with semi-autonomous purchasing authority) accounted
for approximately 16% 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 engaged in the manufacture of
cold-rolled steel.

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 1993, only one raw material accounted for as much as 11% 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



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 support its sales
organization.  Accordingly, the activities of Quaker's laboratory staff 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 affiliates also have research and development 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 research and
development facilities, such problems are referred to the Conshohocken
laboratory staff.

    Approximately 195 persons, of whom 98 have B.S. degrees and 44 have B.S.
and advanced degrees, are employed in Quaker's laboratories.

Number of Employees
- -------------------

    On December 31, 1993, Quaker had 1,006 full-time employees, of whom 369
were employed by the parent company, 548 were employed by its international
subsidiaries and associates, and 89 were employed by all domestic
subsidiaries.

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES.
          ----------

    Quaker's principal facilities in the United States are located in
Conshohocken, Pennsylvania and Detroit, Michigan.  Quaker also owns a
non-operating facility in Pomona, California.  Quaker's international
subsidiaries own facilities in Woodchester, England; Uithoorn, The
Netherlands; Verona, Italy; Villeneuve, France; Santa Perpetua de Mogoda,
Spain; and Seven Hills, N.S.W., Australia.  Quaker Construction Products, Inc.
has a manufacturing facility in Sapulpa, Oklahoma that also serves QSC
Products, Ltd. and Selby, Battersby & Co.  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, 1993 of
$5,000,000.

    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 six 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 implemented a 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

                                      5



to operational matters, record keeping, reporting requirements, and
capital improvements.  In 1993, capital expenditures directed solely or
primarily to regulatory compliance amounted to approximately
$1,000,000.

    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.

    Multi-Chemical Products, Inc. has a ten-year lease on its facility in
Fontana, California which expires in 2001.  AC Products, Inc. has a ten-year
lease on its facility in Placentia, California that expires in 1997.

    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 are
expected to result in monetary sanctions in any amount or in awards that would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.
Reference is made to Note 11 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
which appears on page 26 in the Registrant's 1993 Annual Report to

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS ON
                        FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Quaker Chemical Corporation

    Our audits of the consolidated financial statements referred to in our
report dated February 18, 1994 appearing on page 26 of the 1993 Annual Report
to Shareholders of Quaker Chemical Corporation (which report and financial
statements are incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K)
also included an examination of the Financial Statement Schedules listed in
Item 14(a) of this Form 10-K.  In our opinion, these Financial Statement
Schedules present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial
statements.

                         QUAKER CHEMICAL CORPORATION
                  1993 LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN




1.   PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

    This Long-Term Performance Incentive Plan (the "Plan") has been
established to provide incentives and awards to those employees largely
responsible for the long-term success of the Quaker Chemical Corporation (the
"Company") and its subsidiaries.  In addition, the Plan is intended to enable
the Company to attract and retain executives in the future and to encourage
key employees to acquire a proprietary interest in the performance of the
Company by purchasing and owning shares of Common Stock of the Company.

2.   GENERAL PROVISIONS

     2.1  Definitions.

          As used in the Plan:

          (a)  "Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
               as amended.

          (b)  "Board of Directors" means the Board of Directors
               of the Company.

               amended.

          (d)  "Committee" means the Long-Term Performance
               Incentive Committee of the Board of Directors.

               date a given Stock Option or Stock Appreciation
               Right is granted or exercised, the last sale price
               (or, if no last sale price is reported, the
               average of the high bid and low asked price) for a
               share of Common Stock in the over-the-counter
               market, as reported on NASDAQ or, if not reported
               on NASDAQ, as quoted by the National Quotation
               Bureau Incorporated, or, if the Common Stock is
               listed on a national securities exchange, on the
               principal exchange on which the Common Stock is
               listed.  If for any day the Fair Market Value of a
               share of Common Stock is not determinable by any



               of the foregoing means, then the Fair Market Value
               for such day shall be determined in good faith by

               director of the Company on December 23, 1992, who

               in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of more than 10% of
               the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's
               Common Stock.

          (k)  "Participant" means an employee of the Company or
               one or more of its Subsidiaries to whom a Stock
               Option, a Stock Appreciation Right and/or a

               (4) consecutive calendar years, the first of which

          (b)  The Committee shall consist of not less than two
               (2) members of the Board of Directors who are not,
               and who were not at any time within one year prior

               equity securities under any other plan of the
               Company or any affiliate of the Company which
               would disqualify them from being a "disinterested
               person" (as defined in Rule 16b-3) with respect to
               the Plan.  The Board may also select one or more

     2.3  Effective Date.

          This Plan shall be effective as of January 1, 1993,
          provided that the Plan is approved by the Company's
          shareholders on or before December 31, 1993.  If the
          Plan is not approved by the Company's shareholders on
          or before December 31, 1993, this Plan and all awards
          previously granted thereunder become null and void.

     2.4  Duration.

          If approved by the shareholders of the Company, as
          provided in Section 2.3, unless sooner terminated by
          the Board of Directors, the Plan shall remain in effect
          until December 31, 2002.

     2.5  Shares Subject to the Plan.

          The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may
          be subject to Stock Options granted under the Plan
          shall be 1,000,000, subject to adjustment in accordance
          with Section 5.1, which shares may be either authorized
          and unissued shares of Common Stock or authorized and
          issued shares of Common Stock purchased or acquired by
          the Company for any purpose.  If a Stock Option or
          portion thereof shall expire or be terminated,
          cancelled or surrendered (other than in connection with
          the surrender of a Stock Option pursuant to Section
          3.7(a)) for any reason without being exercised in full,
          the unpurchased shares of Common Stock which were
          subject to such Stock Option or portion thereof shall

                             Exhibit 10(a) Page
                                      4


          be available for future grants of Stock Options under
          the Plan.

     2.6  Amendments.

          The Plan may be suspended, terminated or reinstated, in
          whole or in part, at any time by the Board of
          Directors.  The Board of Directors may from time to
          time make such amendments to the Plan as it may deem
          advisable, including, with respect to Incentive Stock
          Options, amendments deemed necessary or desirable to
          comply with Section 422 of the Code and any regulations
          issued thereunder; provided, however, that, without the
          approval of the Company's shareholders no amendment
          shall be made which:

          (a)  Increases the maximum number of shares of Common
               Stock which may be subject to Stock Options
               granted under the Plan (other than as provided in
               Section 5.1); or

          (b)  Extends the term of the Plan; or

          (c)  Increases the period during which a Stock Option
               may be exercised beyond ten years from the date of
               grant; or

          (d)  Otherwise materially increases the benefits
               accruing to Participants under the Plan; or

          (e)  Materially modifies the requirements as to
               eligibility for participation in the Plan; or

          (f)  Will cause Stock Options, Stock Appreciation
               Rights or Performance Incentive Units issued or
               granted under the Plan to fail to meet the
               requirements of Rule 16b-3.

          Termination or amendment of the Plan shall not, without
          the consent of the Participant, affect such
          Participant's rights under any Stock Option, Stock
          Appreciation Right or Performance Incentive Unit
          previously granted to such Participant.

     2.7  Participants and Grants.

          Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and
          Performance Incentive Units may be granted by the
          Committee to those full-time salaried employees of the
          Company and its Subsidiaries who the Committee
          determines hold positions which enable them to have a

                             Exhibit 10(a) Page
                                      5


          significant impact on the Company's long-term financial
          performance.  The Committee may grant to eligible
          employees Incentive Stock Options and/or Non-Qualified
          Stock Options to purchase such number of shares of
          Common Stock (subject to the limitations of Section
          2.5) and Stock Appreciation Rights and/or such number
          of Performance Incentive Units as the Committee may, in
          its sole discretion, determine.  In determining the
          number of shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock
          Option and/or the number of Performance Incentive Units
          to be granted to an eligible employee, the Committee
          shall consider the employee's base salary, his expected
          contribution to the long-term performance of the
          Company, and such other relevant facts as the Committee
          shall deem appropriate.  In granting Stock Options,
          Stock Appreciation Rights and Performance Incentive
          Units under the Plan, the Committee may vary the number
          of Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Options,
          Stock Appreciation Rights and/or Performance Incentive
          Units to an eligible employee in such amounts as the
          Committee may determine in its discretion.

3.   STOCK OPTIONS

     3.1  General.

          All Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be
          evidenced by written agreements executed by the Company
          and the employee to whom granted which agreement shall
          state the number of shares of Common Stock which may be
          purchased upon the exercise thereof and shall contain
          such investment representations and other terms and
          conditions as the Committee may from time to time
          determine, or, in the case of Incentive Stock Options,
          as may be required by Section 422 of the Code, or any
          other applicable law.

     3.2  Price.

          Subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(d) and Section
          5.1, the purchase price per share of Common Stock
          subject to a Stock Option shall, in no case, be less
          than 100 percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a
          share of Common Stock on the date the Stock Option is
          granted.

     3.3  Period.

          The duration or term of each Stock Option granted under
          the Plan shall be for such period as the Committee

                             Exhibit 10(a) Page
                                      6


          shall determine, but in no event more than ten (10)
          years from the date of grant thereof.

     3.4  Exercise.

          Subject to Section 5.1, no Stock Option shall be
          exercisable prior to the expiration of one (1) year
          from the date it is granted.  Once exercisable, a Stock
          Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, by
          delivery of a written notice of exercise to the
          Secretary of the Company at the principal office of the
          Company specifying the number shares of Common Stock as
          to which the Stock Option is then being exercised
          together with payment of the full purchase price for
          the shares being purchased upon such exercise.  Until
          the shares of Common Stock as to which a Stock Option
          is exercised are paid for in full and issued, the
          Participant shall have none of the rights of a
          shareholder of the Company.

               bank draft or money order payable in United States
               dollars to the order of the Company; or

          (b)  In the discretion of the Committee by note; or

          (c)  In the discretion of the Committee, by the
               delivery by the Participant to the Company of
               whole shares of Common Stock having an aggregate
               Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to
               the aggregate of the purchase price of Common
               Stock as to which the Stock Option is then being
               exercised or by the withholding of whole shares of
               Common Stock having such Fair Market Value upon
               the exercise of such Stock Option; or

          (d)  In the discretion of the Committee, in United
               States dollars in cash, or by check, bank draft or
               money order payable in United States dollars to
               the order of the Company delivered to the Company
               by a broker in exchange for its receipt of stock
               certificates from the Company in accordance with
               instructions of the Participant to the broker
               pursuant to which the broker is required to
               deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan
               proceeds required to pay the purchase price; or

                             Exhibit 10(a) Page
                                      7



          (e)  In the discretion of the Committee, by a
               combination of any number of the foregoing.

          The Committee may, in its discretion, impose
          limitations, conditions and prohibitions on the use by
          a Participant of shares of Common Stock to pay the
          purchase price payable by such Participant upon the
          exercise of a Stock Option.

     3.6  Special rules for Incentive Stock Options.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the
          following provisions shall apply to Incentive Stock
          Options granted under the Plan:

          (a)  Incentive Stock Options shall only be granted to
               Participants who are employees of the Company or
               its Subsidiaries.

          (b)  To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value
               of stock, with respect to which Incentive Stock
               Options are exercisable for the first time by a
               Participant during any calendar year under this
               Plan and any other Plan of the Company or a
               Subsidiary, exceeds $100,000, such Stock Options
               shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.

          (c)  Any Participant who disposes of shares of Common
               Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive
               Stock Option by sale or exchange either within two
               (2) years after the date of the grant of the
               Incentive Stock Option under which the shares were
               acquired or within one (1) year of the acquisition
               of such shares, shall promptly notify the
               Secretary of the Company at the principal office
               of the Company of such disposition, the amount
               realized, the purchase price per share paid upon
               exercise and the date of disposition.

          (d)  No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to a
               Participant who, at the time of the grant, owns
               stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of
               the total combined voting power of all classes of
               stock either of the Company or any parent or
               Subsidiary of the Company, unless the purchase
               price of the shares of Common Stock purchasable
               upon exercise of such Incentive Stock Option is at
               least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair
               Market Value (at the time the Incentive Stock
               Option is granted) of the Common Stock and the

                             Exhibit 10(a) Page
                                      8


               Incentive Stock Option is not exercisable more
               than five (5) years from the date it is granted.

     3.7  Stock Appreciation Rights.

          (a)  Grant.

               Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted under the
               Plan by the Committee, but only in connection with
               all or any part of a Stock Option granted under
               the Plan.  Stock Appreciation Rights may be
               granted either concurrently with the grant of a
               Stock Option or at any time thereafter during the
               term of the Stock Option.  A Stock Appreciation
               Right shall be exercisable only upon surrender of
               the related Stock Option or portion thereof and
               shall entitle the Participant to receive the
               excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares of
               Common Stock for which the Stock Appreciation
               Right is exercised on the date of such exercise
               over the purchase price per share of Common Stock
               under the related Stock Option.  Such excess is
               hereafter call the "Spread."

          (b)  Exercise of Stock Appreciation Right.

               Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable at
               such time as and to the extent, but only to the
               extent, that the Stock Option to which they relate
               shall be exercisable and shall be subject to any
               other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with
               the Plan, as may be fixed by the Committee at the
               time the Stock Appreciation Right is granted.  No
               Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable
               prior to the later of:  (i) six (6) months and one
               (1) day following the date on which such Stock
               Appreciation Right was granted, or (ii) the date
               on which the related Stock Option or any portion
               thereof first becomes exercisable.  Shares of
               Common Stock subject to a Stock Option surrendered
               by a Participant in connection with an exercise of
               Stock Appreciation Rights may not again be
               subjected to Stock Options under the Plan.  Upon
               the exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights the
               Participant shall be entitled to receive from the
               Company in exchange for the surrendered Stock
               Option or portion thereof, an amount equal to the
               Spread either in cash, or in shares of Common
               Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the
               Spread, or both, as the Committee may determine;
               provided, however, that the number of shares of

                             Exhibit 10(a) Page
                                      9


               Common Stock which a Participant may receive upon
               the exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights may not
               exceed the number of shares of Common Stock
               subject to the Stock Option or portion thereof
               surrendered upon exercise of such Stock
               Appreciation Rights.  The shares of Common Stock
               issuable upon exercise of Stock Appreciation
               Rights may consist either in whole or in part of
               authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or
               authorized and issued shares of Common Stock
               purchased or acquired by the Company for any
               purpose.  If shares of Common Stock are to be
               issued to a Participant upon exercise by the
               Participant of Stock Appreciation Rights, such
               Participant shall have none of the rights of a
               shareholder of the Company until the shares of
               Common Stock are issued.

     3.8  Termination of Employment.

          (a)  In the event a Participant's employment by the
               Company or its Subsidiaries shall be terminated
               for cause, as determined by the Committee, while
               the Participant holds Stock Options granted under
               the Plan, all Stock Options held by the
               Participant shall expire immediately.

          (b)  If a Participant, while holding Stock Options, (i)
               retires upon reaching his normal retirement date
               or having elected early retirement under a formal
               plan or policy of the Company, or (ii) dies, then
               each Stock Option held by the Participant shall be
               exercisable by the Participant (or, in the case of
               death, by the executor or administrator of the
               Participant's estate or by the person or persons
               to whom the deceased Participant's rights
               thereunder shall have passed by will or by the
               laws of descent or distribution) until the earlier
               of (A) its stated expiration date, or, (B) the
               date occurring three (3) years after the date of
               such retirement or death, as the case may be.  If
               a Participant's employment by the Company or its
               Subsidiaries shall terminate as a result of the
               Participant's total disability, while such
               Participant is holding Stock Options, then each
               Stock Option held by the Participant shall be
               exercisable by the Participant until its stated
               expiration date.  For purposes of the foregoing
               sentence, "total disability" shall mean a
               permanent mental or physical disability as
               determined by the Committee.

                             Exhibit 10(a) Page
                                      10



          (c)  If a Participant's employment by the Company or
               its Subsidiaries shall terminate for any reason
               not specified in Sections 3.8(a) or (b), the
               Participant shall, to the extent otherwise
               exercisable, have the right to exercise the Stock
               Options held by him or her at the date of
               termination for a period of three (3) months;
               provided, however, that in no event shall such
               Stock Options be exercisable after their stated
               expiration date.

          (d)  Stock Options held by a Participant at the time of
               the termination of his employment by the Company
               or its Subsidiaries which, by their terms are not
               then exercisable, shall, subject to, and except as
               otherwise provided by, the provisions of (i) this
               Section 3.8 regarding expiration or lapse, and
               (ii) Section 3.10 regarding acceleration and
               redemption become exercisable (if at all) at the
               times, and otherwise in the manner, set forth in
               connection with their original grant.

     3.9  Effect of Leaves of Absence.

          It shall not be considered a termination of employment
          when a Participant is on military or sick leave or such
          other type of leave of absence which is considered as
          continuing intact the employment relationship of the
          Participant with the Company or its Subsidiaries.  In
          case of such leave of absence, the employment
          relationship shall be continued until the later of the
          date when such leave equals ninety days or the date
          when the Participant's right to reemployment shall no
          longer be guaranteed either by statute or contract.

     3.10 Acceleration and Redemption.

          Upon the occurrence of an Option Event, (a) all Stock
          Options granted and outstanding under the Plan shall
          become immediately exercisable in full regardless of
          any terms of said Stock Option to the contrary; and (b)
          until the earlier to occur of the stated expiration
          date of the Stock Option and the expiration of the
          ninety (90) day period following written notice from
          the Company to all Participants of the occurrence of
          the Option Event, all Participants shall have the right
          to demand that the Company cancel and redeem any and
          all Stock Options held by the Participant by paying
          with respect to each such Stock Option a price equal to
          the difference between the purchase price per share of
          Common Stock subject to such Stock Option and the

                             Exhibit 10(a) Page
                                      11


          highest price that can be determined to have been paid
          by any Person (as that word is used in Section 2.1(j))
          for any share or shares of the Company's Common Stock
          prior to the earlier to occur of the stated expiration
          date of the Stock Option and the expiration of the
          aforementioned ninety (90) day demand period.

4.   PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE UNITS

     4.1  Grant.

          From time to time during each Performance Award Period,
          the Committee may grant Performance Incentive Units to
          eligible employees in conjunction with or separately
          from a grant of Stock options; provided, however, that
          Performance Incentive Units shall not be granted to any
          one eligible employee more often than once with respect
          to a Performance Award Period.

     4.2  Establishment of Stated Value and Performance Program
          Targets.

          At the beginning of each Performance Award Period, the
          Committee shall establish the Performance Program
          Targets applicable to that Performance Award Period
          (which may be expressed as increases in the Company's
          earnings per share, return or average return on
          invested capital or in terms of any financial or other
          standard, or combinations thereof, as the Committee may
          determine in its discretion), the Stated Value (which
          shall be expressed in dollars) of Performance Incentive
          Units to be granted with respect to such Performance
          Award Period, and shall fix the percentage, if any, of
          the Stated Value to be earned upon the achievement of
          the Performance Program Targets established for the
          relevant performance Award Period; provided, however,
          that the percentage of Stated Value to be earned upon
          achievement of the maximum Performance Program Target
          established with respect to a Performance Award Period
          shall in no event exceed 200% of Stated Value fixed for
          that Performance Award Period.

          If the Committee determines that an unforeseen change
          during a Performance Award Period in the Company's
          business operations, corporate structure, capital
          structure or manner in which it conducts business is
          extraordinary and material and that the Performance
          Program Targets established for the Performance Award
          Period are no longer suitable, the Committee may, but
          only with the concurrence of the Board of Directors,
          modify the Performance Program Targets as it deems

                             Exhibit 10(a) Page
                                      12


          appropriate and equitable; provided, however, that no
          such modification shall increase the Performance
          Program Targets in effect for any Performance Award
          Period (i.e., establish a target that is more difficult
          to achieve than the original Performance Program
          Target).

     4.3  Payment.

          As promptly as practicable after the end of each
          Performance Award Period, the Committee shall, pursuant
          to Section 4.2 of the Plan, determine the earned
          percentage of Stated Value of the Performance Incentive
          Units granted with respect to such completed
          Performance Award Period.  The Company shall, as soon
          as practicable after such determination has been made,
          pay to each Participant holding Performance Incentive
          Units granted with respect to such completed
          Performance Award Period, for each such Performance
          Incentive Units held by him or her an amount equal to
          the product obtained by multiplying Stated Value by the
          earned percentage of Stated Value.

     4.4  Termination of Employment.

          If a Participant's employment by the Company and its
          Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, the Performance
          Incentive Units held by the Participant with respect to
          any Performance Award Period which has not ended at the
          date of such termination shall become null and void;
          provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole
          discretion, shall have the right to authorize
          proportionate payment in cases of death or retirement
          at the normal retirement date or under a formal early
          retirement plan or policy of the Company, if the
          Committee in its discretion determines a payment to be
          appropriate and equitable.

5.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     5.1  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.

          In the event of changes to the outstanding shares of
          Common Stock of the Company through reorganization,
          merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
          reclassification, stock split-up, stock dividend, stock
          consolidation or otherwise, or in the event of a sale
          of all or substantially all of the assets of the
          Company, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment
          shall be made in the number and kind of shares as to
          which Stock Options may be granted.  A corresponding

                             Exhibit 10(a) Page
                                      13


          adjustment changing the number or kind of shares and/or
          the purchase price per share of unexercised Stock
          Options or portions thereof which shall have been
          granted prior to any such change shall likewise be
          made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a
          reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale of all
          or substantially all of the assets of the Company, in
          lieu of adjustments as aforesaid, the Committee may in
          is discretion accelerate the date after which a Stock
          Option may or may not be exercised or the stated
          expiration date thereof and may accelerate the
          termination date of any Performance Award Period then
          in effect.  Adjustments or changes under this Section
          shall be made by the Committee, whose determination as
          to what adjustments or changes shall be made, and the
          extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive.

     5.2  Non-Transferability.

          No Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or
          Performance Incentive Unit granted under the Plan shall
          be transferable by the Participant except by will or
          the laws of descent and distribution, nor shall any
          Stock Option be exercisable during the Participant's
          lifetime by any person other than the Participant or
          his guardian or legal representative.

     5.3  Withholding.

          The Company's obligations in connection with this Plan
          shall be subject to applicable federal, state and local
          tax withholding requirements.  Federal, state and local
          withholding tax due at the time of a grant or upon the
          exercise of any Stock Option may, in the discretion of
          the Committee, be paid in shares of Common Stock
          already owned by the Participant or through the
          withholding of shares otherwise issuable to such
          Participant, upon such terms and conditions as the
          Committee shall determine.  If the Participant shall
          either fail to pay, or make arrangements satisfactory
          to the Committee for the payment, to the Company of all
          such federal, state and local taxes required to be
          withheld by the Company, then the Company shall, to the
          extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from
          any payment of any kind otherwise due to such
          Participant an amount equal to any federal, state or
          local taxes of any kind required to be withheld by the
          Company.

                             Exhibit 10(a) Page
                                      14


     5.4  Compliance with Law and Approval of Regulatory Bodies.

          No Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or
          Performance Incentive Unit shall be exercisable and no
          shares will be delivered under the Plan except in
          compliance with all applicable federal and state laws
          and regulations including, without limitation,
          compliance with all federal and state securities laws

- ------------------------------------------------------------------


Referring to earlier discussions with you, we are pleased to
confirm that we have offered you the position of Vice President in
our Quaker Europe organization effective January 1, 1991.

As per January 1, 1991, your actual position will no longer exist
in Quaker Chemical (Holland) B.V.; consequently, your employment
contract with Quaker Chemical (Holland) B.V. will be terminated per
that date.  Instead, your employment agreement as of January 1,
1991 shall be with Quaker Chemical Europe B.V.

As Addendum 1 to this letter of appointment, you will find an
overview of employment conditions that formed the basis for our
discussion with you on March 20, 1990 in which we reached formal
agreement.  In fact, Addendum 1 provides for a comparison between
the main conditions agreed upon for your current employment
agreement with Quaker Chemical (Holland) B.V. and the main
conditions agreed upon for your future employment agreement with
Quaker Chemical Europe B.V.

Addendum 2 to this letter of appointment contains the General Terms
of Employment of the Quaker Chemical Europe B.V. Management Team.
These General Terms form part of your employment agreement with
Quaker Chemical Europe B.V.

The individual terms of your employment agreement with Quaker
Chemical Europe B.V. read as follows:

1.a. The agreement is entered into for an indefinite period of time
     and may be terminated at any time by either party upon the
     giving of notice of six months prior to the effective date of
     such termination.

1.b. If the Company acts to terminate the employment for reasons
     which are in the Company's opinion beyond the Vice President's
     fault, a settlement shall be paid at the expiration of the six
     months notice period.  The amount of the settlement shall be
     two months income per full year of service at the termination
     date with a maximum of 24 months.  For the purpose of this
     paragraph b, "income" shall mean base salary in addition to
     the vacation allowance (8-1/2% of the base salary) and a bonus
     payment equal to 1/12th of the base salary as referred to in
     Article 7 hereof.

     In the event Quaker Chemical Corporation is acquired or
     otherwise falls under the majority control of a third party,
     a 24 month salary, bonus, and vacation allowance will be paid
     if the Vice President elects to resign his position within 12
     months of such change in control.

Mr. Ira R. Dolich
108 S. Mansfield Boulevard
Cherry Hill, NJ  08034-3613

Dear Ira:

Confirming our discussion, as a result of our restructuring effort,
one of the alternatives I am considering includes the reassignment
of the tasks associated with the position of Vice President,
Quality and Information Services and, therefore, provide you with
the option of taking the following early retirement package.

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
- -------------------------

Under this agreement, your service would terminate December 31,
1993.

TOTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT
- ------------------------

Your annual benefit payable monthly from January 1, 1994 through
May 1, 1997 will be $94,181 and $83,345 thereafter for life.  It is
composed of the following:

These benefits are explained below:

QUALIFIED PLAN
- --------------

Your January 1, 1994 Quaker Chemical Pension Plan accrued benefit
reduced for early retirement at 60 with monthly payments starting
June 1, 1995 is $36,920.  You may, of course, choose to start
payments on a later date.

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT INCOME PROGRAM (SRIP)
- ---------------------------------------------

Your January 1, 1994 SRIP accrued annual benefit reduced for early
retirement at 60 with monthly payments starting June 1, 1995 is
$27,197.  If you choose to start Qualified Plan payments on a later
date, your SRIP benefit will start on that same later date.

SOCIAL SECURITY BRIDGE
- ----------------------

Additionally, we will provide you with an annual "Social Security
Bridge" payment of $10,836 beginning January 1, 1994 until such a
time as you turn 62 and are eligible to begin drawing Social
Security.  If either you or your spouse dies before May 1, 1997,
the full unreduced amount will continue to be paid to the survivor
until the earlier of the survivor's death and May 1, 1997.  No
payments go to anyone upon the survivor's death.

ADDITIONAL BENEFIT PAYMENT
- --------------------------

Beginning January 1, 1994, you will receive an additional temporary
annual benefit of $83,345 through May 1, 1995, reducing to $19,228
thereafter.  These additional payments increase your total payout
to an amount equal to your January 1, 1994 accrued benefit plus a
temporary payment equal to your estimated age 62 Social Security
benefit.

PAYMENT OPTIONS
- ---------------

Except for the Social Security Bridge, the retirement incomes
stated in this letter are payable to you as a single life annuity
with no further payments to anyone after your death.  You may elect
to receive your total benefit excluding the Social Security Bridge


                             Exhibit 10(i) Page
                                      2


Mr. Ira R. Dolich

as a reduced joint and survivor annuity based on actuarial
reduction factors specified in the Qualified Plan.

Irrespective of the payment option you elect to apply to the early
retirement benefits described herein, the Qualified Plan's
Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity and Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity provisions continue to apply to your Qualified
Plan benefits and are, of course, unaffected by the early
retirement benefits described herein.

Finally, all of the payments you receive as described herein will
be subject to all applicable federal, state, and local withholding
and employment tax requirements.

EFFECT OF DEFERRED PAYMENT START DATE
- -------------------------------------

Quaker Chemical Corporation's benefit payment obligation outside
the Qualified Plan and SRIP is only for the $10,836 annual Social
Security Bridge and the $83,345 Additional Payment reducing to
$19,228 June 1, 1995.  Thus, if you choose to defer receiving the
Qualified Plan and SRIP benefits beyond June 1, 1995, as mentioned
above, your total annual retirement benefit from Quaker and its
benefit plans is $10,836 + $19,228 = $30,064 beginning June 1,
1995, reducing to $19,228 June 1, 1997.

MEDICAL INSURANCE
- -----------------

You and your family will continue to be covered under Quaker's
Medical Insurance Plan -- including surgical, hospitalization,
major medical, and dental coverage -- until such time when you turn
65 and are eligible to apply for Medicare benefits.  At 65, you
will receive medical benefits solely under the terms of the Quaker
Retiree Medical Plan in effect December 31, 1993, based on (a) the
assumption you are retiring at 65 and (b) the years of service you
would have earned had your employment continued to age 65.

LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
- ------------------------------------

You currently are the holder of stock options.  Under the Long-Term
Performance Incentive Plan approved in 1993, you are entitled to
exercise such stock options for three (3) years after the effective
date of your retirement (or your death if that should occur first).
Stock options awarded under the Long-Term Performance Incentive
Plan approved in 1983 shall be exercisable up to the expiration
date set forth in the Stock Option Agreement.  For Performance
Units issued under the 1991 and 1993 programs, you will be eligible
to receive a prorated portion of any payout generated by these

plans.  Except as described above, further participation in the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan will end as of December 31, 1993.

OUTPLACEMENT ASSISTANCE
- -----------------------

Should you so choose, you will be provided executive outplacement
assistance to include office space and all support required in your
job search.

CONFIDENTIALITY
- ---------------

As a condition of the offer contained in this letter, at all times
hereafter, you will keep the terms, the amount, and the existence
of this Letter Agreement completely confidential, and you will not
hereafter disclose any information concerning this Letter Agreement
to anyone except your immediate family, attorney, accountant, or
tax advisor, or as otherwise required by law, provided that any
such person agrees to keep said information confidential and not
disclose it to others.

FULL AGREEMENT
- --------------

This Letter Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between
us and can be modified only in writing, signed by each of us.  As
used throughout, the term "Letter Agreement" refers to this entire
document consisting of six (6) pages, including the release.

As consideration for our offer, you will be required to sign the
following release which is in customary form.

Ira, please review the early retirement offer carefully.  You may
wish to consult independent advisors, including legal counsel, and
we would encourage you to do so.  Cliff or I would be pleased to
discuss any questions you may have; however, should you elect not
to assume the additional responsibilities we have discussed and,
therefore, accept this package, I would need to have your signed
agreement no later than twenty-one (21) days after the date of
receipt of this letter.

                                   Sincerely,



                                   S. W. W. Lubsen

     B.   Without limiting the scope of Paragraph A, above, of this

17 Exhibit 13 Page 5 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION All majority owned subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements, with appropriate elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The consolidated balance sheet includes total assets of $79,651,000 in 1993 and $75,402,000 in 1992 and total liabilities of $19,221,000 in 1993 and $14,377,000 in 1992 of international subsidiaries. The consolidated statement of operations includes net income of international subsidiaries of $3,729,000 in 1993, $9,391,000 in 1992 and $7,812,000 in 1991. 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 international subsidiaries and associated companies, except for Mexico and Venezuela prior to 1992, are translated into U.S. dollars at the respective rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the year. Income accounts are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process, except for Mexico and Venezuela prior to 1992, 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, 1993 and 1992, respectively, $1,301,000 and $727,000 of leased equipment and accumulated depreciation thereon in the amount $520,000 in 1993 and $214,000 in 1992 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. 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, 1993 and 1992, accumulated amortization of the excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies amounted to $1,621,000 and $1,215,000, 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 offset by miscellaneous expenses, is recorded when earned. License fees recorded by the company from its nonconsolidated international associates amounted to $1,178,000, $1,135,000 and $1,313,000 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Fees received from independent licensees are immaterial. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Company sponsored research and development expenses during 1993, 1992 and 1991 were $11,037,000, $11,134,000, and $10,000,000, respectively. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments, which potentially subject the company to a concentration of credit risk, principally consist of cash equivalents and of short-term investments and trade receivables. The company invests temporary and excess cash in money market securities and instruments in U.S. and foreign commercial banks having maturities typically within 90 days. The company has not experienced losses from the aforementioned investments. The company sells its principal products to most of 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. 18 Exhibit 13 Page 6 NOTE 2--REPOSITIONING CHARGES During 1993, the company implemented a broad scope program of changes focused on reducing the company's operating costs to compete more effectively in today's environment. This program includes consolidation and closure of certain of the company's facilities, selected workforce reductions, and planned divestitures of nonstrategic business operations. The consolidated statement of operations for 1993 includes charges before income taxes of $11,900,000 ($7,854,000 after tax, or $.85 per share) relating to this program. Of the total, $5,200,000 relates to the cost of the workforce reductions. The remaining $6,700,000 is to provide for the closure of a manufacturing facility in Pomona, California, consolidation of European manufacturing operations, and the divestiture of nonstrategic business operations. As of December 31, 1993, $7,600,000 and $2,100,000 remained in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, respectively. Of the $7,600,000, approximately $3,700,000 represents anticipated cash outlays in 1994. NOTE 3--ASSOCIATED COMPANIES Summarized financial information of the associated companies (less than majority owned), in the aggregate, for 1993, 1992 and 1991 is as follows: (Dollars in thousands) ---------------------------------------- 1993 1992(a) 1991(a) ---------------------------------------- Current assets................ $22,515 $21,841 $30,173 Noncurrent assets............. 2,643 2,238 5,897 Current liabilities........... 12,888 11,432 13,115 Noncurrent liabilities........ 950 768 1,948 Net sales..................... $52,028 $44,244 $61,471 Operating income (b).......... 5,654 5,689 7,866 Income before taxes........... 4,287 5,183 6,966 Net income.................... 2,165 2,676 3,999 (a) Restated for comparative purposes. (b) Net sales, less costs and expenses. Operations of Alpine Labs are included since its formation on November 1, 1990 to February 12, 1992 when it became a wholly-owned subsidiary. Quaker Chemical, S.A. is excluded from the summary after January 1, 1992 when it became a wholly-owned subsidiary (see Note 10). NOTE 4--INVENTORIES Inventories valued under the LIFO method amounted to $4,879,000 and $4,858,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The estimated replacement costs for these inventories using the first-in, first-out method were approximately $6,115,000 and $6,080,000, respectively. 19 Exhibit 13 Page 7 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued NOTE 5--TAXES ON INCOME Taxes on income included in the consolidated statement of operations consist of the following:

20 Exhibit 13 Page 8 United States income taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings of international 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, 1993 was approximately $47,000,000. Any income tax liability which might result from ultimate remittance of these earnings is expected to be substantially offset by foreign tax credits. Effective January 1, 1991, the company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109) "Accounting for Income Taxes." The cumulative effect of adoption of SFAS 109 was not material. NOTE 6--EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PENSION PLANS The company maintains various noncontributory retirement plans covering substantially all of the employees of the parent company and its domestic subsidiaries. The benefits for these plans are based primarily on years of service and employees' pay near retirement. The plans of international subsidiaries are, for the most part, either fully insured or integrated with the local governments' plans and are not subject to the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 (SFAS 87), "Employers' Accounting for Pensions." The pension costs for all plans include the following components:

21 Exhibit 13 Page 9 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued 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. No contributions were made in 1993. Contributions for 1992 and 1991 were $310,000 and $520,000, respectively. OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Effective January 1, 1991, the company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 (SFAS 106), "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," for its U.S. postretirement benefit plans. The plans 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 $2,000 per retiree, is noncontributory. Both the medical and life insurance plans are currently unfunded. The components of periodic postretirement benefit costs for 1993, 1992 and 1991 are as follows: -------------------------------- 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------- Service cost--benefits attributed to service during the period............... $ 79,000 $ 96,000 $ 92,000 Interest cost on accumulated benefit obligation.............................. 650,000 664,000 683,000 -------- -------- -------- Postretirement benefit cost................ $729,000 $760,000 $775,000 ======== ======== ======== The funded status of the plan at December 31, 1993 and 1992 is as follows: ------------------------ 1993 1992 ------------------------ Retirees............................................ $7,218,000 $6,824,000 Fully eligible active participants.................. 88,000 100,000 Other participants.................................. 1,712,000 1,952,000 ---------- ---------- Total accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. 9,018,000 8,876,000 Unrecognized actuarial gain (loss).................. (50,000) 22,000 ---------- ---------- Net unfunded post-retirement benefit liability........................................ $8,968,000 $8,898,000 ========== ========== The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is 7.5%. 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 8.9% in 1993--gradually decreasing to 5.5% over 13 years. A 1% increase in the health care cost trend rate would increase aggregate service cost for 1993 by $46,000 and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1993 by $656,000. 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 $270,000 in 1993, $330,000 in 1992 and $252,000 in 1991, representing the annual accrued benefits under this plan. Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 (SFAS 112), "Employer's Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." The cumulative effect of adoption of SFAS 112 was not material. NOTE 7--DEBT AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS Long-term debt at December 31, consisted of the following: --------------------------- 1993 1992 --------------------------- Industrial development authority monthly floating rate (2.6% at December 31, 1993) demand bonds maturing 2014.................... $ 5,000,000 $ 5,000,000 6.64% note payable due July 8, 1997.............. 13,333,000 15,000,000 Capital lease obligations........................ 789,000 526,000 Other notes payable due 1994 to 1998, interest ranges from 3.7% to 10.8% 758,000 ----------- ----------- 19,880,000 20,526,000 Less current portion............................. 3,785,000 1,922,000 ----------- ----------- $16,095,000 $18,604,000 =========== =========== In 1992, the company entered into an intermediate-term private placement of $15,000,000 of 6.64% notes payable requiring semiannual principal payments of $1,667,000 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 five years, payments on long-term debt are due as follows: $3,785,000 in 1994; $3,748,000 in 1995; $3,514,000 in 1996; $3,392,000 in 1997; and $441,000 in 1998. At December 31, 1993, a non-U.S. subsidiary of the company had an outstanding note payable to a bank in the amount of $1,168,000 maturing in March 1994. The interest rate on the note was 10.1%. The parent company also has available a $10,000,000 unsecured line of credit. Any borrowings under this line of credit will be at the bank's best rate of interest in effect at the time. There were no borrowings against the line of credit during 1993 and 1992. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the value at which the financial instruments are recorded approximated their fair market value. 22 Exhibit 13 Page 10 NOTE 8--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY An analysis of the changes in consolidated shareholders' equity is as follows:

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, 38,399 shares and 35,277 shares were issued from the treasury in 1993 and 1992, respectively. In 1991, 33,568 shares were issued from the treasury, and 2,413 shares were purchased in the open market. The number of shares that may be purchased by an employee in any one year is limited by factors dependent upon the market value of the stock and the employee's base salary. At December 31, 1993, 23 Exhibit 13 Page 11 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued 246,925 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 1993, 1992 and 1991.

Options were exercised for cash and the surrender of 5,739, 41,770 and 46,402 previously outstanding shares in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, resulting in the net issuance of 7,947 shares in 1993, 86,587 shares in 1992 and 67,664 shares in 1991. Options to purchase 793,556 shares were available at December 31, 1993 for future grant. 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 nil in 1993 and 1991 and a credit of $292,000 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 $72 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 persons 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. 24 Exhibit 13 Page 12 NOTE 9--BUSINESS SEGMENTS The company operates primarily in one business segment -- the manufacture and sale of industrial chemical specialty products. The company has both United States and international operations which are summarized for 1993, 1992 and 1991 as follows:

Transfers between geographic areas are not material. Operating profit is comprised of revenue less related costs and expenses, excluding dividends and license fees paid to the parent company. Nonoperating expenses primarily consist of general corporate expenses identified as not being a cost of operations, interest expense, interest income and license fees from nonconsolidated 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 1993, 1992, and 1991. A substantial portion of consolidated sales on a global basis are made to the steel production market (see Classification of Products by Markets Served on page 27 of this report), and as a result, accounts receivable generally reflect a similar distribution of receivables from customers in these markets. 25 Exhibit 13 Page 13 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued NOTE 10--BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES In 1994, the company entered into an agreement for the creation of a joint venture which is expected to enhance the Total Fluid Management (TFM) service capabilities of the company. An initial cash investment of approximately $3,000,000 has been made with additional investments expected based on the growth of the venture. Effective May 14, 1993, the company acquired for $10,693,000 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 $4,450,000 in cash the remaining 57.5% interest in Alpine Labs, making it wholly owned by the company. The results of operations, which have not been 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(R) patents and technology, to the Petrolite Corporation for $6,500,000 in cash, $2,000,000 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 $8,600,000 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 $1,200,000. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF QUAKER CHEMICAL CORPORATION In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Quaker Chemical Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. As discussed in Notes 5 and 6, the Company changed its methods of accounting for income taxes and postretirement benefits other than pensions in 1991.

Major sources and uses of cash during 1993 included: a cash receipt of $6.5 million related to the sale of certain of the company's petroleum production chemical operations assets, the principal component of which was the SULFA-SCRUB(R) patents and technology, effectively completing the company's planned exit from the petroleum production chemicals market; the purchase of Raffineries de l'Ile de France (RIF), a metalworking chemical specialty business in France, for $10.7 million; and $9.0 million in expenditures for additions to property, plant and equipment. These items, along with lower regular operating activities, were the principal reasons for the decrease of $6.3 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 $15.3 million. Also, the current ratio declined to 2.0/1 in 1993 from 3.0/1 in 1992 primarily as a result of the aforementioned net uses of cash and an increase in current liabilities of approximately $7.6 million related to the company's 1993 repositioning charges (see Note 2 on page 19). Cash outlays associated with the repositioning charges, which will be funded internally, are anticipated to be approximately $3.7 million in 1994 and $2.1 million in the years thereafter. Expenditures for property, plant and equipment in 1993 included the purchase of new computer equipment and related software systems in the United States, construction of a new office/laboratory in Australia, expenditures for environmental and regulatory compliance in the amount of $1.0 million, and upgrades of manufacturing capabilities at various locations. Capital expenditures for 1994 are expected to be in the range of $9-$11 million and include continued investment in major software systems in the United States, various upgrades to manufacturing capabilities in the United States and Europe, and expenditures, estimated at approximately $1.6 million, for environmental and regulatory compliance. The company believes that funds generated internally should be sufficient to finance the capital expenditure program. The parent company has available $10 million in a line of credit and, based on its debt-equity ratio and current levels of operating performance, believes that additional bank borrowings could be negotiated at competitive rates, if required. The company is capable of supporting the anticipated growth in operations during 1994, continued 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 1994 the company entered into an agreement for the creation of a joint venture (see Note 10 on page 26) which required an initial cash investment of approximately $3.0 million with additional investments expected based on the growth of the venture. OPERATIONS 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, which includes consolidation and closure of certain of the company's facilities, selected workforce reductions, and planned divestitures of nonstrategic business operations. When the overall program is completed in late 1994, the expected workforce reduction versus mid-year 1993 levels will be approximately 8 to 10 percent. The company expects to generate ongoing after-tax financial benefits from the program of $1.4 million to $1.9 million ($.15-$.20 per share) starting in 1994. The 1993 consolidated sales decrease was due to two main factors, a 4% decline in volume and a 4% reduction associated with currency translation (fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate local currency statements to dollars) 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 30 Exhibit 13 Page 18 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. Shipments to the People's Republic of China are expected to resume in the second half of 1994 under a more consistent order pattern. Other principal challenges still facing the company are continued pricing pressures in key markets and increased customer efficiencies in the usage of chemical products, particularly in North America. While United States operating conditions signal stabilization or slight improvement, the operations in Europe depend on that economy coming out of the recession. 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 good-will amortization, required a tax expense on a loss before taxes. The negative influence of currency translation on net income in 1993 was $.8 million ($.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. COMPARISON OF 1992 WITH 1991 Consolidated net sales in the year 1992 increased $21.4 million (11%) while income from operations increased $2.5 million (16%) over 1991. The increase in sales was due to increases in volume 4%, price/mix 1%, fluctuations in rates used to translate foreign currencies 2% (producing a positive effect on net income of $.5 million) and the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures 4%. The increase in volume for the year was attributable primarily to orders shipped to the People's Republic of China and increases in Quaker Construction Products and the European operations. The net increase of 4% due to acquisitions and divestitures relates to the inclusion of the subsidiary in Spain for the full year 1992, inclusion of Alpine Labs for part of 1992, and divestiture of Overdale during 1991. In the steel market, sales, after a very strong start in the first quarter, softened in the United States market in the middle quarters and decreased significantly in the fourth quarter. The metalworking market in both the U.S. and Europe was stable until the fourth quarter when a significant downturn in production in Europe and decreased orders driven by cyclical consumption in the U.S. caused sales to drop. Therefore, the gross profit in the fourth quarter fell well below the first three quarters. Sales to the paper production market decreased mainly as a result of a deemphasis of sales of one of the paper product lines. Cost of goods sold as a percent of net sales decreased 1.1% in 1992, as compared to 1991, mainly as a result of capitalizing on increased sales volume and enhanced cost control. Raw material prices remained relatively stable during 1992. Notwithstanding the increase in volume in 1992, selling, administration and general expenses as a percent of sales generally remained constant as compared to 1991. Programs for product and market development, as well as quality enhancements, have contributed to this situation. The decrease in equity in net income from associated companies is due to the subsidiary in Spain being included in consolidated results (previously reported as an associated company). GENERAL The company does not use financial instruments which expose it to significant risk involving foreign currency transactions; however, the size of international 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 40-44% of the dollar amount of consolidated sales. In the same period, these subsidiaries accounted for approximately 68-71% of consolidated operating profit (see Note 9 on page 25). 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. 31 Exhibit 13 Page 19
