Excellent quality and dimensional accuracy are critical to all metalworking processes, including molding, forging, cutting, and stamping. The results depend heavily on the lubricants and release agents used. They must be easy to apply, minimize residue, and not interfere with downstream processing. Hank Lubricants has developed and produced process lubricants that fully meet these requirements.
Hank Lubricants' process lubricants
Perfect quality and long service life: Our process lubricants deliver high surface quality for products while protecting tools and materials.
Low-residue, clean working environment: Machines, tools, and the working environment maintain low levels of residue, water vapor, and odor over the long term.
Easy to use and low consumption: Save time and money in production.
What are process lubricants?
Process lubricants are the lubricants and release agents required for a wide range of metalworking and forming applications, such as sheet forming, block forming, or continuous casting of aluminum.
The first choice for metalworking
Tube bending and deep drawing, forging and continuous casting, stamping and cutting place vastly different demands on release agents.
What they have in common is the high demand for clean processes, with the goal of minimizing residue and reducing wear on tools and dies.
In addition, the process should not generate any water vapor or pungent odors. Lubricants or release agents must not affect further processing. This is very important for subsequent painting, welding, or coating of the workpiece.
Premium process lubrication: lubricants tailored to your individual needs
Hank Lubricants offers specially developed products for a wide range of metal forming and machining applications. The right process lubricants and release agents help forming processes achieve extremely high quality, long service life and reliability. Choosing the most suitable process lubricant depends on the material and metalworking process, the tool surface and the machining speed. The temperature during processing is also important. For cutting, stamping and bending processes, lubricants and release agents with minimal residue usually work best, while lubricating oils containing solid lubricants (mostly graphite) are used for hot forming.
Hank Lubricants' product range for forming processes includes lubricating oils with or without solvents, graphite oils and suspensions, a deep-drawing lubricating paste unique on the global market, and innovative products such as powders and lubricant varnishes that keep machines running economically.
