IRMCO GEL® 986
IRMCO GEL® 986 is a special application lubricant that is a fully synthetic paste with characteristics more of a gel. IRMCO GEL® 986 was designed for larger diameter tube-bending of carbon and stainless steels but has also found limited use on a smaller diameter, aluminized stainless tube.
IRMCO GEL® 986 Usage:
IRMCO GEL® 986 SERIES lubricants are used in specialty automotive OEM emission and exhaust system manufacturing as well as general consumer, exercise equipment and furniture-related tube-bending applications.
IRMCO GEL® 986 tube-bending lubricants are designed to provide optimized lubrication for mandrel tube bending and are used as received. IRMCO GEL® 986 products are typically applied through the mandrel via pressurized applicator or may be applied manually via brush or wipe. Volume of lubricant applied to tooling/tubes can be controlled through applicator settings & controls.
