VANISHING LUBRICANTS, VANISHING OILS, EVAPORATIVE LUBRICANTS: Metal Forming lubricants For Aluminum , Copper & Brass
Choosing the proper metal forming lubricant and metal stamping for non ferrous metals such as Aluminum, copper brass has become a difficult, complicated decision. Factors that influence choosing the right lubricant are: type of alloy, severity of the metal forming operation, metal stamping, application method and subsequent operations. General Chemical Corp. is an expert at solving metal forming or metal stamping problems. For a Aluminum lubricant or copper brass lubricant recommendation contact General Chemical; a proven world class leader in Aluminum lubricants, Motor oil, Synthetic Lubricants and copper brass lubricants.
General Chemical offers a complete line of Aluminum lubricants and copper brass lubricants. The product line discussed below is design to handle the most stamping and deep drawing operations; however General Chemical can formulate lubricants to meet special requirements. These Aluminum lubricants and copper brass lubricants are available in 5 gallon pails, 55 gallon drums and 300 gallon totes.
Viscosity for Evaplubes is 15 to 16.5 seconds on Zahn #2 cup. This viscosity is 0 in centistokes.
Sometimes it is advantageous to use a lubricant that disappears after it has done its job. These materials leave a light coating of lubricant on the part during processing and then evaporate shortly thereafter. In many cases these lubricants can completely eliminate cleaning operations. Our vanishing oils will not turn tacky or gummy, have no odor and are designed to always stay fluid. Recommended for use on virtually all metals.
Chlorine Free: For light duty, thin gage (.001 to .060); blanking, fin forming. high flash solvent based forming lubricant developed for the aluminum heat exchanger industry, where vacuum or thermal de-oiling process are used.
Chlorine Free: For Medium duty blanking, stamping, very shallow draws, fin forming. developed for the heat transfer and air conditioner industries used for fin forming, blanking, and light operations. Light duty stamping and drawing ferrous and nonferrous metals.
Chlorine Free: Mild EP. For light to medium duty blanking, stamping, very shallow draws, laminating. engineered for ferrous and non ferrous metals. Used for forming, blanking, roll forming and perforating.
Metals: Aluminum, copper, stainless steel, brass, mild and silicone steel.
Chlorine Based :General purpose "Evaporative Lubricant" for light to Medium duty forming of all metals. Virtually Requires no post cleaning and No post heat treatment. Ideal to bend or stamp painted stock. Has less odor than some other vanishing lubricants.
Metals: For All Metals Solvent: Vanishing oil Dilution: As supplied
General Chemical specializes in formulating vanishing oils motor oil and solvent based metal working lubricants. Vanishing oils evaporate leaving the surface dry and oil free; they eliminate cleaning and reduce costs. Some medium to heavy duty vanishing oils may leave a miniscule film, which generally does not require removal. All vanishing lubricants can be used on ferrous and nonferrous metals.
