HSS & UHSS Stamping Lubricants

IRMCO offers high-performance, oil-free HSS & UHSS stamping lubricants.

Advanced High Strength & Ultra High Strength Steel substrates:

  • Much higher tensile strengths and work hardening characteristics compared to convention steels.
  • Continually expanding use for automotive light-weighting and safety purposes.
  • Increased lubrication demands due to increased forming pressures.
  • Conventionally used for automotive support and protective structures.

IRMCO SOLUTIONS FOR AHSS / UHSS STEEL METAL-STAMPING:

  • All IRMCO FLUIDS® products are free of oil and chlorinated paraffins.
  • Require less energy and less aggressive aqueous cleaning chemistry to remove.
  • Often welded through without removal from part surfaces*.
  • Better biodegradability than conventional, oil-based, and chlorinated paraffin-containing lubricants.
  • Cleaner running in-process allows for easier part inspection.
