Metal rolling oils

Components for ferrous & non-ferrous metal rolling

Rolling oil lubricants must be carefully selected depending on the type of metal to be rolled.

Common ferrous metals include engineering steel, carbon steel and cast iron and non-ferrous metals include aluminium and copper. Finished formulations can be based on either neat oils or emulsions. We provide a range of components to suit both formulation types: 

• Ester base fluids impart good oxidation stability and provide controlled lubrication
• Self-emulsifying esters offer formulation simplification by removing the need for a separate ester and emulsification package
• Emulsifiers to help deliver excellent emulsion stability, tramp oil rejection and extended fluid lifetime. 

With a strong focus on improving formulation performance, our range of solutions improve many aspects of metal rolling formulations and the rolling process itself, as showcased in the table below.
