In the tube processing industry, mechanical stresses reach critical levels when working with thick-walled tubes. To address these challenges, the German company LBI has developed an innovative line of oil-free polymeric lubricants, specifically designed for the most demanding forming operations.
LBI solutions are formulated to ensure maximum tool protection and a flawless finish even under the most challenging conditions:
Large Diameters: Ensures uniform coverage and stability of the lubricating film on large surfaces.
Thick Gauges: Offers superior resistance to extreme pressures during bending and forming operations.
Critical Internal Surfaces: Drastically reduces friction even where traditional lubricants fail, preventing scoring and seizure.
The true competitive advantage of LBI lubricants lies in post-production management:
Water-Only Cleaning: Because they are water-soluble, residues can be easily removed without the use of harsh chemical degreasers.
Zero Washing: In many industrial applications, the polymer residue is so minimal and technically inert that the cleaning step can be skipped entirely, allowing the process to proceed directly to the next stages.
Choosing LBI technology means combining the power required for heavy-duty forming with the efficiency of a clean, modern system.
