AmberLube™ EC
Biodegradable Aqueous Lubricant
AmberLube™ EC is a water-based lubricant which does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or ozone depleting substances (ODSs). This formula may be applied in the tube bending, swaging, stretch forming and skin forming of ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, titanium and stainless steel. It also contains special anti-corrosive agents to protect form tools, dies, mandrels and bending tools from harmful oxidation. AmberLube ECs anti-wear lubricants reduce scratching, galling, and metal-to-metal contact.
