Cooling Fluids for Profile Manufacturing & Electric Resistance Welded Pipe (ERW)

Innovative Solutions for Cooling, Lubrication & Corrosion Protection
In the high-speed, high-precision world of ERW pipe and profile production, cooling fluids play a critical role. These fluids must deliver more than just temperature control—they ensure optimal lubrication, corrosion protection, foam control, and operational efficiency throughout the forming, calibration, and testing processes.
Our product range incorporates fully synthetic, mineral oil-based, and semi-synthetic formulations engineered to meet the specific needs of hot and cold rolled, galvanized, and special alloy materials used in pipe and tube production.

Product Categories & Technical Content

  • High-Performance Fully Synthetic Cooling Fluids
  • Specialized Coolant for Hydrotest Units
  • Mineral Oil-Based Cooling Fluids for Galvanized Pipe Production
  • Semi-Synthetic Cooling Fluids for Galvanized Pipe Production
  • Semi-Synthetic Coolants for General ERW Pipe & Profile Production

1. High-Performance Fully Synthetic Cooling Fluids

Application Focus: Production of ERW pipes and profiles from hot and cold rolled steel sheets.

Key Advantages:

  • Extended Corrosion Protection: Ensures rust-free pipes post-production, even during storage and handling.
  • Anti-Foaming Performance: Maintains system stability under high-pressure cooling and high-flow conditions.
  • Demulsifying Action: Quickly separates tramp oils, reducing residue buildup and ensuring a clean fluid system.
  • High Biostability: Prolongs sump life, reduces fluid change frequency, and lowers disposal costs.
  • Tooling Lubrication: Ensures easy disassembly of forming and calibration units during size and shape changeovers.
  • Metal Scale Removal: Excellent detergency allows scale and fines to be flushed into collection systems, reducing manual cleaning.

2. Specialized Coolant for Hydrotest Units

Application Focus: Hydrostatic pressure testing of pipes post-welding.

Key Advantages:

  • Fully Synthetic & Mineral Oil-Free: Transparent water-based solution that leaves no oily residue on inner pipe surfaces.
  • Fast Air Release: Prevents pressure loss and test failure through efficient deaeration during high-speed cycles.
  • Foam Resistance: Maintains uninterrupted flow and pressure balance.
  • Superior Biostability: Long service life and resistance to microbial growth.
  • Internal Corrosion Protection: Safeguards pipe interiors post-testing — reducing the risk of flash rust.

3. Mineral Oil-Based Cooling Fluids for Galvanized Pipe Production

Application Focus: Welding operations using galvanized sheets, including large-diameter pipes and box profiles.

Key Advantages:

  • Stain-Free Compatibility: Prevents discoloration or pitting on galvanized surfaces.
  • High-Temperature Stability: Performs under elevated thermal loads common in large section welding.
  • Effective Lubrication: Supports smooth disassembly of stands and extends tooling life.
  • Flexible Usage: Compatible with both galvanized and cold-rolled sheet materials.

4. Semi-Synthetic Cooling Fluids for Galvanized Pipe Production

Application Focus: Medium-size pipe and profile production using galvanized or hot/cold rolled sheets.

Key Advantages:

  • Stain Prevention: Engineered to preserve surface quality of galvanized materials post-welding.
  • Thermal Stability: Performs consistently in medium to high temperature conditions.
  • Lubricity for Tooling Operations: Allows for easy maintenance and faster changeovers.
  • Versatile Usage: Well-suited for a variety of material grades and production environments.

5. Semi-Synthetic Coolants for General ERW Pipe & Profile Production

Application Focus: Standard ERW manufacturing involving longitudinal pipes, open profiles, and tubing.

Key Advantages:

  • High Washing Efficiency: Effectively removes metal fines and scales, maintaining clean production zones.
  • Disassembly Ease: Ensures smooth changeovers with proper lubrication of forming/cutting tools.
  • Superior Corrosion Control: Maintains pipe integrity even in challenging ambient conditions.
  • Extended Fluid Life: Biostable formula minimizes degradation and reduces total fluid consumption.
