Cold Forming Lubricants

Soap Lube/Loc Lube

Reactive & non-reactive stearate soaps for superior metal extrusion lubricity.

  • Extended bath life
  • Light to heavy films as required
  • Fast melting
  • Low use cost
  • Withstands the most severe deformations
  • Typically used in conjunction with our Micron or TCJ line of zinc phosphates

Poly Lube

Formulated to provide lubricity in applications where soap coatings are not effective or practical.

  • Lower temps and reduced processing cost
  • Reduced waste
  • Low residues
  • Effective for cold forming and metal drawing
  • Provides corrosion resistance
  • Imparts a high lubricity, dry film coating on metal or phosphated surfaces

Wire Coat

Wire drawing soaps, dry powders, greases and pastes for steel & stainless steel.

  • Variety of melt points
  • Increased drawing speeds
  • Increased die life
  • Reduced consumption
  • Ease of cleaning
