Background: In applications such as Aluminum welded tube forming, most conventional vanishing lubricants present flammability hazards due to low flash points. Gen-Lube 3470, with no flash point, eliminates this hazard.
Engineered for Aluminum, Copper, Copper alloys and Ferrous metals.
Forming and punching lubricant
Excellent for tube mill forming
Leaves no residue
Non-tarnishing
Background:
High peroxide and Acid content in stamping oil has been directly linked to the creation of a substance in stamping dies that causes contamination of parts and makes them unusable. Acceptable peroxide and acid numbers have been determined to ensure that stamping oil does not contribute to part contamination. The heat stability test is performed on 2231 to ensure that the oil will not break down and experience an increase in peroxide or acid level after aging in the stamping presses. 2231 is used in manufacturing processes that use vacuum de-oiling to remove excess oil from the parts so that a good braze joint can be formed. The thermal gravimetric analysis is an excellent indicator to prove how well 2231 will perform when used in your process. The functional test is to prove that the oil will not interfere with the formation of quality braze joints or cause any problems with the brazing furnace. It can also show that oil can be left on parts for several days without affecting the brazing quality. You can further verify suitability of 2231 in your process by performing the Lifted dome Height test and Falex evaluation test.

Gen-Lube 3470 is a premium quality, heavy-duty vanishing lubricant, which leaves no residual film after forming processes. Gen-Lube 3470 is designed for use where a residue free surface is desired.
Gen-Lube 3470 evaporates quickly, leaving no residue. This results in a surface, which does not require any cleaning prior to processes such as welding or painting.
Gen-Lube 3470 contains a lubricity package, which provides both boundary and extreme pressure lubrication. This results in longer die life, improved surface finishes, and permits increased production rates. This results in lowered scrap rates and increased productivity.
