LUBRICANTS
Mechanical Galvanizing offers high-performance lubricants designed exclusively for metal finishing and mechanical plating applications. Our specialist lubrication solutions are crucial to guaranteeing smooth operations, extending equipment life, and improving product quality. Our lubricants are designed to meet the high demands of modern plating facilities, reducing friction, preventing galling, and increasing the efficiency of your mechanical plating processes.

Mechanical plating requires extensive metal-to-metal contact between parts, medium, and equipment components. Without sufficient lubrication, this can result in excessive wear, surface damage, and lower plating quality. Our lubricants are designed to establish a protective barrier that reduces friction while yet permitting the mechanical action required for optimal plating adherence. They are chemically compatible with popular plating materials such as zinc, cadmium, and tin, thus they will not disrupt the coating process or final product performance.

We provide a variety of lubricant kinds to meet varied application needs. Water-soluble lubricants are popular due to their ease of cleanup and environmental friendliness, but synthetic versions work better in high-temperature or extreme pressure environments. Our dry film lubricants are perfect for applications where liquid lubricants may contaminate the plating process, as they leave an invisible protective coating that decreases friction without interfering with future treatments.

One significant advantage of our mechanical plating lubricants is their ability to extend media life. The glass beads or ceramic media used in the plating process are subjected to severe abrasion during operation. Proper lubrication prevents media breakdown, ensures regular peening action, and lowers media consumption costs. This means more consistent plating results and cheaper operational costs over time.

Threaded fasteners pose particular issues in mechanical plating because the coating must be homogeneous without filling or bridging the threads. Our thread-specific lubricants provide comprehensive coverage while retaining accurate thread dimensions. These specific formulas are especially useful for high-strength fasteners, where dimensional correctness is crucial for performance and safety.

Our lubricants are developed with the complete manufacturing process in mind. They resist disintegration in the alkaline or acidic environments used in metal finishing, retaining their protective characteristics throughout the plating process. Many of our formulas contain anti-foaming chemicals to prevent problems in recirculating systems, and they are compatible with standard filtering systems to make maintenance easier.

Environmental stewardship is an important factor in our lubricant development. We've eliminated heavy metals and lowered volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in our formulas. Many of our products are biodegradable and fulfill high environmental standards, allowing our customers to maintain sustainable operations without sacrificing performance.

Proper lubrication is required for consistent mechanical plating outcomes. Under-lubrication can result in poor coating quality and equipment damage, whilst excessive lubrication might interfere with the plating process. Our technical staff offers experienced advice on application rates and how to optimize your individual process parameters. We can recommend the best lubricant and application strategy for your machine type, part geometry, and production volume.

Beyond the plating process, we provide lubricants for accompanying equipment such as barrel liners, pumps, and conveyors. These tailored formulations decrease maintenance and downtime while safeguarding your plating machinery investment. Our corrosion-inhibiting lubricants also preserve completed items during storage and shipping, preventing white rust and other types of damage.

Our multi-purpose lubricants simplify inventory management by functioning well in a range of applications. We can provide custom formulations for unique or difficult plating conditions, collaborating closely with customers to create solutions that are tailored to their individual requirements.

The quality of your lubricant has a direct impact on your plating performance and operating expenses. Cheap, generic lubricants may save money initially, but they frequently result in higher media consumption, increased equipment wear, and variable plating quality. Our high-performance lubricants are designed to provide the lowest total cost of ownership while decreasing waste and increasing process dependability.

Temperature stability is another important aspect of our lubricants. Mechanical plating creates high heat due to friction, and our formulations retain their viscosity and protective qualities across a wide temperature range. This assures constant performance whether you're producing small batches or in continuous mode.

At Mechanical Galvanizing, we recognize that lubrication is a frequently ignored yet critical component of effective mechanical plating procedures. Our products are created by metal finishing experts who understand the specific challenges of the plating industry. We combine scientific chemistry with practical knowledge to provide solutions that are effective in real-world manufacturing settings.
