Advanced Industrial Forming Lubricants
Modern metal forming requires more than generic oils; it demands engineered tribological systems. Our comprehensive range of industrial lubricants provides the extreme pressure (EP) performance and thermal stability required for the most severe cold, warm, and hot forming operations.
Engineering the Elastohydrodynamic Regime
The complexity of modern alloys—including high-strength steels, titanium, and specialized non-ferrous metals—places unprecedented strain on forming tools. Simple boundary lubrication is frequently insufficient to prevent asperities from making contact during heavy reductions or complex deep drawing.
Without a robust elastohydrodynamic (EHD) film, the resulting friction spikes cause tool deflection, tearing of the workpiece, and severe galling. The choice of lubricant chemistry directly dictates the achievable limits of deformation and the economic viability of the forming process.
Tailored Extreme Pressure Formulations
PROMET formulates highly specialized lubricants for industrial forming utilizing advanced polar additives and synthetic base stocks. These molecules exhibit strong adsorption to metal surfaces, creating an oriented, densely packed boundary layer that resists mechanical shearing.
Whether the process demands a heavy-duty cold heading oil, a clean-burning warm forging wax, or a thermally stable hot extrusion compound, our tribological approach focuses on maximizing tool life and ensuring absolute consistency in the final metallic structure. We engineer solutions that turn lubrication from a consumable expense into a critical process optimization tool.
