Metal Machining and Forming

We offer a variety of cold forming pre-treatments and lubricants including non-reactive coatings for wire-and-tube-drawing, stainless steel extrusion and forming, and non-ferrous materials. When it comes to drawing, deformation, or extrusion, our range has you covered.

Benefits of working with Henkel's metal forming coatings and lubricants:

• Non-reactive lubricants eliminate phosphate sludge
• Improved corrosion protection
• Simplified metal forming processes with shorter cycle times and maximised die life
• Increased productivity at reduced costs thanks to lower energy consumption and maintenance requirements
• Improved quality of parts, including microfinish
• Reduced operational footprint due to environmentally sustainable options, leading to a safer work place

Our die casting portfolio includes high pressure die casting lubricants, gravity, and low pressure die lubricants, plunger lubricants as well as auxiliary greases and maintenance lubricants.

You will benefit from our close interactions with both local and international manufacturers who rely on Henkel's die cast emulsions, dispersions, graphite-based lubricants, insulating coatings, and high performance greases.

Benefits of working with Henkel's die casting products:

• Improved manufacturing productivity
• Improved part quality, less metallization, brighter parts
• Reduced build-up on dies
• Extended tool life
• Bio-stable emulsion
• High solids formulations available to reduce transportation costs and allow high dilution ratios
• Environmentally-friendly die casting

Forging processes take place under extreme temperature and forming conditions. By combining strong equipment with properly selected products, our partners and customers can see a tremendous drop in operating cost.

We offer a variety of state-of-the-art formulas to help improve your processes including highly dispersed graphite, oil-emulsion, and hybrid and synthetic lubricants.

Benefits of working with Henkel's forging range:

• Superior lubrication and release
• Increased productivity with minimum downtime and reduced costs
• Shorter cycle times and maximised die life
• Environmentally sustainable options
• Improved quality

We have a long tradition of innovative research and development in forging. Whether your manufacturing site deals with warm or hot forging, ferrous or non-ferrous materials, or is in need of billet coatings, cleaning, cold forming or machining and grinding solutions, we can help.
