                     Report of Independent Accountants


April 26, 1996

To the Participants and Administrator;
Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan of
Quaker Chemical Corporation


In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available
for benefits of the Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan of Quaker
Chemical Corporation at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the plan'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.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not
a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional
information required by ERISA. The fund information in the statement of net
assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather
than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net
assets available for benefits of each fund. Schedules I and II and the fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

3 Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan of Quaker Chemical Corporation Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1995 and 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Description of Plan The following description of the Quaker Chemical Corporation Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. General The Plan is a defined contribution plan for all employees of the Quaker Chemical Corporation (the "Company") except for employees compensated in whole or in part by commissions on sales. Eligible employees, including employees compensated in whole or in part by commissions on sales, may choose to make elective contributions to the Plan on a "before tax" basis. Effective July 1, 1995 the profit sharing plan of AC Products, Inc., a subsidiary of Quaker Chemical Corporation, was merged into the Company's Plan. The Plan is administered by a six-member committee appointed by the Company's Board of Directors. Employees become eligible for participation in the Plan after one year of service as defined by the Plan. Plan participants are immediately vested in their account balance. All administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company. Contributions The Company's Board of Directors, at its discretion, determines the amount, if any, of the contribution to the Plan for each Plan year. No contribution was made by the Company for the 1995 Plan year. The Company's 1994 profit sharing contribution was $367,569 and was based on the level of domestic company profit from operations (as defined) versus the target profit. The target profit is determined as the average of the prior three years' domestic company profit from operations (as defined) increased by 15%. Participants of the Plan may elect to contribute any whole percentage of their compensation, up to 8%, during the year. Each year, the Company makes a matching contribution of $150 for each whole percentage of the participant's compensation contributed to the Plan during the Plan year, providing that the Company's matching contribution for each individual participant does not exceed $450 in any calendar year. Payment of Benefits Participants are entitled to receive their account balance upon retirement or termination from the Company. In the event of Plan termination, the Plan provides that the assets shall continue to be held by the Trustees (currently, CoreStates Bank, N.A. and Principal Financial Group, "PFG") for normal distribution. 4 Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan of Quaker Chemical Corporation Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1995 and 1994 (continued) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Investment Options Participants in the Plan may elect to invest their pro-rata share of the Company's contribution in any of the following pooled investment funds of PFG: Guaranteed Interest, U.S. Stock and/or Bond and Mortgage. Participants may also elect to invest in Quaker Chemical Corporation common stock. The Plan includes a provision whereby PFG, if so instructed by the Plan administrator, shall invest an amount less than 50% of the employer's current contribution allocable to each participant for the year in whole life insurance contracts. These contracts are owned by PFG and may be borrowed against by PFG. The Plan is the sole beneficiary of the contracts. Investment Income PFG, a Plan trustee, is unable to separately report interest and dividends and net appreciation (depreciation) in the market value of investments. Therefore, all such amounts are included in net investment income. 2. Summary of Accounting Policies Method of Accounting The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Investments Investments in pooled investment funds are valued at the Plan's pro rata share of the market value of the funds. Market value is determined using the daily net asset value quoted by the trustee based on the published market prices of the underlying securities in the funds. The market value of Quaker Chemical stock is based on the closing price as listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market. 3. Participant Loans Receivable At December 31, 1995 and 1994, outstanding loans were $4,960 and $15,970 with an original principal of $45,900 and $42,900, respectively. Interest rates on loans approximate the prime rate in effect at loan inception. The Plan has certain limitations on loans that can be made to Plan participants. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a complete description of these limitations. 5 Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan of Quaker Chemical Corporation Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1995 and 1994 (continued) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. Tax Status of the Plan The Plan has received a tax determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated August 18, 1995 indicating that the Plan is a qualified plan under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements. 5. Subsequent Event Effective March 1, 1996 the Plan was amended such that any eligible employee shall be eligible to become a plan participant and make elective contributions on the first day of the month following employment commencement, unless the employee is hired on the first day of the month in which case the employee shall be eligible immediately. Prior to the amendment, elective contributions were permitted after one year of service (See Note 1). 6
