Zinc-Coated Steel Stamping Lubricants

IRMCO fluids offers oil-free fully synthetic zinc-coated steel stamping lubricants.

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.
