Gardolube: Boosting Efficiency and Quality in Metal Forming
Gardolube is our technology for high-performance lubricants and salt carriers, setting the global standard in metal forming processes like tube and wire drawing, as well as cold extrusion. Our lubricants reduce friction, prevent cold galling and surface fatigue, minimizing heat generation, operating noise, and vibrations.
Our lubrication solutions offer significant advantages for multiple industries by enhancing productivity and reducing production costs. Gardolube oils form an inorganic separation layer and a highly resilient lubricant layer on precision tubes, allowing for reduced pretreatment steps and improved surface quality. The solutions enable manufacturers to achieve very low surface roughness on precision tubes, meeting the high demands of end users.
Additionally, Gardolube oils minimize friction during cold forming, leading to energy savings and lower tooling costs while ensuring dimensional accuracy and a smooth drawing surface. By facilitating efficient production processes and supporting compliance with environmental regulations, our lubrication solutions contribute to the global competitiveness of precision tube manufacturers across various sectors. The variety of our Gardolube technologies delivers improved drawing performance, high-speed drawing lubricants, superior surface quality, and eco-conscious, borate-/borax-free processes, tailored to meet your needs.
Our skin-pass fluids are free from nitrite and diethanolamine, offering effective lubrication, detergency, and rust protection for various metal applications. These fluids ensure clean rolls and significantly reduce excessive roll wear. Furthermore, they minimize the surface roughness of galvanized substrates. After treatment, our skin-pass fluids are fully compatible with downstream passivation and permanent coating processes.
