Lawn & Garden Case Study

PROJECT SCOPE:

Provide an easily applied, liquid stamping fluid to eliminate fluid to eliminate a dry film lubricant that causes welding, cleaning and finishing defects. 

METAL SUBSTRATE:

HRPO STEEL

IRMCO PRODUCT:

IRMCO FLUIDS 146-892

ESTIMATED COST SAVINGS:

1. Eliminated the need for dry film lubricant resulting in estimated cost savings of at least $100,000. 

2. Eliminated cleaning and paint defects associated with incomplete removal of dry film lubricant.

3. Consolidated stamping processes under one stamping lubricant-eliminating potential for cross contamination. 

ANCILLARY BENEFITS:

1. Allowed for reduction in cleaning temperature of 20°F. 

2. Die maintenance and down-time associated with removal of Dry film residues was eliminated.
