Key Features & Functional Benefits
- High lubricity & extreme-pressure resistance
- Anti-wear (AW) and extreme-pressure (EP) additive packages.
- Durable boundary films resist mechanical breakdown.
- Promotes smooth metal flow even on thick gauges and severe draws.
- Residue-free, volatile options
- Colorless, low-odor hydrocarbon grades evaporate rapidly (≈ 1 hour).
- No post-cleaning needed; ideal for coated and non-ferrous surfaces.
- Water-washable & eco-friendly formulations
- Select grades wash off with water; reduced solvent usage.
- Available chlorine-free, halogen-free, VOC-free, and mineral-oil-free.
- Lower environmental impact with improved operator safety.
- Integrated corrosion protection
- Temporary inhibitors protect parts between stages, storage, and transfer.
Application Areas
Compatible metal types
- Iron & steel alloys (including stainless and tool steels)
- Aluminum & aluminum alloys (e.g., zinc-aluminum exhaust components)
- Copper, brass & other yellow metals
Note: Certain non-mineral-oil variants are not suitable for copper or bronze.
