High quality and dimensional accuracy are essential in all metalworking operations, including pressing, forging, cutting and stamping. Process results are also largely dependent on the lubricants and release agents that are used. They must be easy to apply, leave as few residues as possible, and not impair downstream processes. Klüber Lubrication develops and produces process lubricants that exactly meet these requirements.
Perfect quality and long life: Our process lubricants enable high surface quality for your products and preserve tools and materials.
A clean work environment with low residues: Machines, tools and the work environment remain largely free of residues, vapours and odours.
Easy application and low consumption: Save time and money in production.
Process lubricants are specialized lubricants and release agents used in a wide range of metalworking and forming applications, such as sheet metal forming, bulk forming, and aluminum continuous casting.
Tube bending and deep drawing, forging and continuous casting, stamping and cutting pose highly different requirements for release agents.
Klüber Lubrication offers specially developed products for a wide range of applications in metal forming and processing. The right process lubricants and release agents help you achieve exceptionally high quality, long service life, and reliability in your forming processes. The most suitable lubricant for your application depends on factors such as the material, the metalworking process, the tool surface, and the processing speed. Temperatures during the forming process also play an important role. For cutting, stamping, and bending processes, lubricants and release agents that leave minimal residues usually perform best, while oils containing solid lubricants (most commonly graphite) are used for hot forming.
The Klüber Lubrication product portfolio for forming processes includes oils with or without solvents, graphite oil and suspensions, a deep-drawing paste that is unique in the global market, and innovative products such as powders and lubricant varnishes that support the economical operation of your machinery.
