prelube2 - optimized tribology and excellent oil distribution

Do you want a corrosion protection oil that increases cleanliness in your production processes, enhances work safety, features improved tribology and is compatible with your downstream processes? Then prelube2 is the product of your choice.

With its optimized tribology, prelube2 makes it possible to work with less oil coating yet maintain the same level of formability, thus reducing oil leakage and oil redistribution on strip, during storage. prelube2 has the potential to reduce the friction coefficient, prolong intervals for tool cleaning and make production cleaner. Wherever the highest forming demands are required, prelube2 is the right choice. Whether in the automotive or any other industry, prelube2 makes production even more efficient.

prelube 2. Generation is an anti-corrosion oil for galvanized steel strip with optimized tribology and excellent oil distribution.
Prelube2 boasts improved properties such as optimized tribology, best formability and many more.

Processing benefits

The excellent tribological properties reduce the amount of lubrication required, thus enabling a clean production processes (less oil leakage during storage and transport). This improves work safety and reduces the risk of slippage.

prelube2 ensures that the steel can be easily postprocessed for clean production and increased productivity.
The use of prelube2 significantly reduces zinc abrasion on the friction jaw.

Significant advantages compared to standard oils

prelube2 (approved pursuant to VDA 230-213) reduces zinc abrasion in the forming tool for formed parts. The following figures show the test results from the strip drawing test under the same conditions.

Sustainable and environmental friendly

  • The use of prelube2 reduces the oil coating layer thickness and protects the environment.
  • The lower oil volume conserves resources and leads to clean processes with less chemical consumption in downstream processes.
  • With the same oil layer thickness, prelube2 reduces friction during forming.

Typical applications

Can be used in a wide range of products and applications.

Multiple certifications
