AUTOMOTIVE OEM: STRUCTURAL/FRAME

STRUCTURAL FRAME CASE STUDY

Project Scope: Provide alternative tube bending lubricant to eliminate competitive, emulsifiable oil spraying out of tubes in process and onto floors as they drain.

Metal Substrate: JIS GRADE G STAM 440G (ASTM ASE1021) STEEL—3.2 mm THICKNESS

IRMCO Product: IRMCO GEL® 980-000

Process Improvements:

  1. IRMCO GEL 980-000 reduced chemical consumption in tube bending processes by staying put and not dripping or whipping out the tubes in process.
  2. IRMCO GEL 980-000 eliminated fluid puddling on floors surrounding equipment and storage areas.
  3. IRMCO GEL 980-000 tubes were drier to touch-increasing ease of transfer and handling.
