Advanced Water-Based Forging Release Agent for Aluminum Die Lubrication
Product Description
LubeKote 3008 is a premium water-based forging release agent engineered specifically for aluminum forging operations. Formulated with colloidal graphite and extreme pressure (EP) additives, it delivers superior die lubrication, prevents premature mold wear, and optimizes metal flow. This high-performance forging release agent creates a resilient thermal film that adheres to hot die surfaces, reducing friction coefficients and extending tool life while ensuring clean part ejection.
Key Advantages
✔️ Exceptional Lubricity – Minimizes sticking and galling for flawless part release.
✔️ Superior Film Formation – Uniform, durable coating withstands extreme forging temperatures.
✔️ Extended Film Longevity – Reduces reapplication frequency for higher productivity.
✔️ Low Residue – Simplifies post-forging cleaning processes.
✔️ Operator-Safe Formula – Non-toxic, water-based, and free of hazardous components.
