Cold Forming Lubricants

Soap Lube/Loc Lube: A product line of reactive and non-reactive stearate soaps for superior metal extrusion lubricity. Typically used in conjunction with our Micron or TCJ line of zinc phosphates.

  • Extended Bath Life
  • Light to heavy films as required
  • Fast Melting
  • Low Use Cost
  • Withstands the most severe deformations

Poly Lube: Our Poly Lube products are formulated to provide lubricity in applications where soap coatings are not effective or practical. Poly Lube products impart a high lubricity, dry film coating on metal or phosphated surfaces.

  • Lower temps and reduced processing cost
  • Reduced Waste
  • Low residues
  • Effective for cold forming and metal drawing
  • Provides Corrosion Resistance

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
