Forming Lubricants

Metalube’s drawing and stamping fluids are designed for a wide range of forming applications that are formulated to excel in severe processes across numerous manufacturing industries. Using the latest technologies, Metalube offers synthetic, semi-synthetic, soluble oil, straight oil, and evaporative fluids. These products help extend tool life, prevent corrosion and rust, and lower operating costs, with customizable benefits such as added fungicides, biocides, surfactants, extreme pressure agents, and more.

Synthetic Fluids

The SynForm Series of products are water dilutable metal forming lubricants designed for drawing, stamping, blanking, and forming tasks on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. They feature boundary lubricants and extreme pressure additives that help extend tool life. Our innovative water-based solutions offer outstanding corrosion protection, excellent cleanability, and are compatible with a wide range of substrates.

Evaporative Fluids

Our FormAll and MetalForm 700 Series products are formulated with evaporative solvents which have varied evaporative rates based on the customer’s specific application. These vanishing lubricants are designed for use on aluminum, galvanized, pre-painted steel, copper, brass, and ferrous metals. Leaving little to no residue these fluids evaporate quickly after application eliminating the need for cleaning in many circumstances while maintaining compatibility with downstream operations such as welding, painting, and assembly.

Soluble Oils

The MetalForm 4000 and 5000 soluble oil lines are formulated to deliver reliable lubrication, excellent extreme-pressure performance, and effective corrosion protection across a wide range of metalworking applications. Designed for demanding machining, drawing, and stamping operations, our products provide superior film strength, excellent wetting, and dependable tool and workpiece protection. With formulations suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, our soluble oils can be customized to meet specific application requirements while supporting extended fluid life, improved machining performance, and efficient operations.

Straight Oils

Products from our DrawRite, MillForm, and MetalForm AL Series offer a diverse range of performance capabilities from light duty applications to demanding deep drawing operations. Varying viscosities, lubricity compounds, and extreme pressure additives help to create a specific product designed to meet the requirements for a customer’s individual application.
