IRMCO’s 146 series stamping lubricants were originally designed as oil-free, heavy-duty options to conventional, chlorinated paraffin-based, emulsifiable-oil stamping fluids. Products in this series have been used extensively in stamping automotive, heavy industrial, appliance, lawn & garden, and durable consumer goods parts for decades.
IRMCO 146 SERIES Product Profile
- Well suited for stamping conventional mild steels – up to 1.2 GPa tensile strength AHSS steels. Some 146 series products offer improved compatibility with zinc-coated (galvanized, galvannealed, etc.) steels & uncoated, stainless steel alloys.
- Easily mixed with water to form stable solutions using conventional chemical proportioning systems (HYDROBLEND, “venturi”-type, and another mixing).
- Optimally applied via spray or roller application. Easily applied manually via swabbing, brushing, or wiping.
- Demonstrate excellent “weld-through” characteristics* over conventional oil-based stamping lubricants.
- Compatible with conventional, aqueous surface cleaning and pretreatment chemical regimes prior to powder paint, e-coat, and porcelain enameling processes.
- Oil, nitrite, chlorine, sulfur, boron, and triazine/formaldehyde-free chemistry
