Renite Hot Forming Lubricants for Metals
Renite Water and Graphite lubricants: Renite’s metal forming lubricants, typically spray-applied, deposit a solid lubricating film of graphite on hot die and tooling surfaces, allowing for smooth release and smooth metal movement during forming at high temperatures and pressures.
These lubricants:
- Used for Lubrication of Warm and Hot Forging and Extrusion Application
- Contain Water and Graphite
- Supplied as a Concentrate for Dilution Prior to Use (2:1 to > 10:1)
- Produce Very Little, if Any, Smoke, Fumes, or Flames
- Graphite Remains after Water Vaporizes Providing Solid Lubrication
These products include Renite S-26, S-28, and S-45
- Renite S-26:
- Wide Functional Die Temperature Range: 300⁰ to 800⁰ F (150⁰ to 427⁰ C)
- Works Well with a Wide Range of Metals Titanium, Copper, and Ferrous Alloys
- Renite S-28: Lubricant for Forging and Extrusion of Aluminum
- Renite S-45: High Graphite Content (Allows for Greater Dilutions than S-26)
Renite also produces a variety of other hot forming lubricants, similar to the above popular lubricants, including: S-26-X (a variant for nickel alloys), S-28-A (a heavy-duty variant of S-28), S-29 (also for aluminum forming), and PG-13 and PG-14 (both containing phosphates for high temperature EP performance and lubrication).
Graphite-Free Lubricant
- Renite D-5-A Soluble Oil: Renite also provides D-5-A, a graphite-free water-soluble, water-dilutable concentrate for lubrication in cold forming metal applications such as: cutting, drilling, bending, stamping, and some cold forging.
