An expertly developed metalworking lubricant, by a company with unparalleled expertise, is the only way to assure the best performance of any metalworking operation. As the demand for greater out-put in less time increases, so does the need for a superior metalworking lubricant. Since 1906, International Chemical Company has been developing and perfecting metalworking lubricants that meet our clients’ requirements. We have the experience to evaluate your lubricant needs and then provide the product and customer service you deserve.
Different Applications…Different Metalworking Products
Choosing a lubricant begins with an in-depth analysis of the application. We will evaluate your goals, the process, and how the operation will change in the future. International Chemical offers, but is not limited to, these following products:
- Synthetic Lubricants - Synthetic lubricants are gaining in popularity. They are non-petroleum, non-toxic, non-hazardous, and environmentally friendly. We have invested a tremendous amount of research and development into our synthetic technology over the years. It is for this reason that our customers receive cutting edge synthetic technology. Our advanced lubrication packages have replaced traditional lubricants, providing the end user with a cleaner, more economical lubricant.
- Semi-synthetic Lubricants - With similar qualities to synthetic lubricants, semi-synthetic products, contain a high level of synthetic additives and contain between 5-35% mineral oil. These lubricants are typically for specialized and unique applications where we have developed a unique technology at a customer request.
- Soluble Oil Lubricants - Among the most commonly used lubricants, soluble oils are capable of performing a variety of metal forming applications. International Chemical Company places a strong emphasis on advanced technology for soluble oils. Utilizing bio-resistant additives coupled with a unique emulsion package, our soluble oils are cleaner, longer lasting and more efficient than what is currently offered in the market.
- Straight Oil Lubricants - Also among the most frequently used lubricants, straight oil lubricants provide excellent rust protection as well as consistent lubrication for specialized applications. Often used as a low viscosity lubricant.
- Dry Film Lubricants - Dry film lubricants are compounds that can be diluted with water and applied to metal blanks. These water-based lubricants can also be mixed into paste form for a thicker application.
- Vanishing Oil Lubricants - Parts will dry residue free with these lubricants. May be used for lighter operations. Many of these lubricants have been developed to eliminate a post-washing process particularly in the automotive and medical industries.
Which Lubricant
is Right for You?
A good lubricant will improve tool life, minimize additional
processes, comply with environmental standards, and
improve safety at the work site. However, knowing which
lubricant to choose to maximize your metalworking operation
can be a challenge. Different bending applications may
benefit from a gel synthetic product or a deep-drawing
application may benefit from a heavily chlorinated lubricant.
