GALVANIZED & GALVANNEALED STEEL SUBSTRATES:
- Selected specifically for increased corrosion protection of finished parts.
- Historically relied on oil-based lubricants to protect the zinc-coatings.
- Zinc surface coatings tend to either flake off and build-up on tooling.
- Increased lubrication demand due to abrasive zinc surface coatings.
- Present unique concerns for staining & corrosion over uncoated mild & high strength steels.
IRMCO SOLUTIONS FOR ZINC-COATED STEEL METAL-STAMPING:
- All IRMCO FLUIDS® products are free of oil & chlorinated paraffins.
- Cleaner running than oil-based lubricants.
- Often welded through without removal from part surfaces*.
- Better biodegradability than conventional, oil-based & chlorinated paraffin-containing lubricants.
- Comparatively cleaner & drier operation than oil-based lubricants.
- Select products can eliminate the need for high VOC, solvent-based evaporative lubricants.
