Primary Metals
India is amongst the top three steel producers in the world. Rust protection is a major challenge this industry faces. Specially developed NOX-RUST® liquids for this industry provide non-staining stabilized rust prevention, compatibility with "down the line" operations, ease of removability, and better lubricity for press shop requirements. These remarkable benefits have made NOX-RUST® RP oils popular with steel producers and manufacturers of wires, rods, and tubes in the US, Japan, and East Asia.
Environmental concerns & the requirement of thin-film oils by the end-users have also necessitated using VCI packaging for corrosion-free dry wrapping of steel coils & sheets. Daubert VCI® is widely preferred in VCI reinforced papers & VCI stretch films for automated coil wrapping.
Non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper are often subject to oxidation and surface tarnish. Sulfur-free X-CUT® neat and X-COOL® water-soluble cutting oils have been developed to meet the specific needs of copper machining industries. UNIWRAP® VCI Paper is designed to protect all types of multi-metals, including aluminum, copper, and their alloys, from the menace of tarnishing and blackening. SILVER SAVER® VCI paper and PREMIUM METAL-GUARD® VCI bags & films are also proven performers in the non-ferrous industry.
Machine tool manufacturing faces the challenge of cobalt leeching in machining hard metals like tungsten carbide. Fully Synthetic technology-based, some X-CUT® cutting oils have special inhibitors to prevent cobalt dissolution. These sulfur and heavy metals-free oils generate very low evaporation and misting, making tool manufacturers safe, productive, and cost-effective.
