ENSURE CRITICAL DEFORMATION REQUIREMENTS ARE ACHIEVED
- We can provide neat metalworking fluids with high levels of lubricity that are suitable for use in the demanding operation of forming high strength stainless steel and nickel alloy tubes
PRODUCE CLEANER BARS, ENSURE TUBES HAVE AN EXCELLENT SURFACE FINISH
- Provide high performance synthetic and emulsion machining fluids and cleaners to ensure a good surface finish of the pre-formed bars and tubes
- We can supply technologically advanced synthetic forming fluids for carbon steel tube drawing and pilgering operations that also remove the need for cleaning
- We have a range of corrosion preventives, including low volatile organic compounds (VOC), which will offer excellent protection for tubes in storage or during transport
REDUCE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP, IMPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
- Reduce maintenance costs associated with using and managing cleaning and rinsing chemicals
- Reduce fluid consumption by offering superior long lasting synthetic fluids
- We can reduce waste volumes through improved stability of the fluid systems
- Lower energy costs related to heating the cleaning system
- We will help you to achieve a cleaner working environment for operators
IMPROVE EQUIPMENT LIFE, REDUCE EQUIPMENT COSTS
- Our range of high performance greases, gear and hydraulic oils can help you reduce your cost of ownership. For example we have greases which are resistant to water washout from forming fluids and can help increase equipment life
- We can work with you to identify key applications in your plant that could benefit from high performance lubricants to extend your equipment and component life
