Lubricants are typically used to avoid friction moving parts in a system. This has the benefit of reducing friction, cold shut and surface fatigue, reducing heat generation, operating noise and vibrations.

​

Chemetall’s high-performance lubricants offer enhanced performance features: They increase tool and die life, cleanliness in the operation, provide excellent corrosion protection and low moisture absorption.

 

Other benefits include:

​

• Minimization of metal surface damage, thus fewer rejects

• Reduction of heat generated, preventing residue build-up, keeping dies cool, extending tool and die life

• Ease of cleaning

• Higher drawing speeds

• Better surface quality
