DRY LUBRICANT: BRUGAL® LUB Serie

Dry Lubricant and temporary protector. Specially designed for pressing and stamping of components for the automotive and appliance industry.

Characteristics
- Liquid and water borne product (Non solvents)
- Cr free product.
- Applicable by roll-coater or chem-coater.
Performances
- Antifingerprint property.
- Temporary corrosion resistance.
- Excellent dry lubricity to improve post-forming processes: dynamic friction coefficient lower than 0.10.
- High weldability with low fume and odour generation.
- Compatible with most commercially available adhesives
Technical and economical advantages in front of oils
- Dry film lubricant mechanism means lubricity agent remains bonded, without movement, to the metal surface.
  Uniform coating thickness all over the metal surface.
  Reduced number of rejected components.
- Very low friction coefficient, enabling efficient stamping and drawing.
  Less consumption in comparison to oils.
  Reduced rejects rate.
- Reduce zinc powdering in presses.
  Important saving in press maintenance works.
  Reduced number of rejected components.
- Excellent temporary protection, replacing protective oils.
  It allows to protect coils since the origin to service center and end destination.
- Easy and complete removal with mild alkali cleaners.
  Provides perfectly clean surfaces, ready for post-treatment allowing for good phosphatation.
  Extended life for degreasing solutions.
  Avoids cratering problems in cataphoresis process.
- Low temperature drying.
  Energy saving costs.

Pretreatment-Primer for Prepainted Aluminium Steel: BRUGAL® PRETREAT

Film Forming Non Rinse Pretreatmenst specially designed for Prepainted Aluminium Steel.

Characteristics
- Free of solvents. Water borne product.
- Free of Volatil Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- It contains resins. Organic chemistry.
- Hexavalent Chromium (BRUGAL^®PRIME 600 Serie), Trivalent chromium (BRUGAL^® PRIME 300 Serie) and Cr free (BRUGAL^®PRIME 000 Serie) versions are available.
- Applicable by roll or chem-coater, but also by squeezing rolls.
Performances
- Excellent adhesion with the common coil coating paints: polyester, epoxy, epoxy-polyester, PVDF,…
- Good corrosion resistance at very low film weight (0,5 µ)
- Improves protection to corrosion at cut edges.
- Excellent adhesion to Poliurethane foams, glues and adhesives for laminates.
Technical and economical advantages for Coil Coaters
- When coil coaters receive Aluminium coils already coated with BRUGAL^®PRIME:
  - Top Quality Prepainted Aluminium Steel will be processed, even if these coils have been shipped overseas (top corrosion protection).
    Siginificant savings, in terms of chemicals, energy, water, waste and quality control will be raised, because the degreasing, pretreatment and, even the Primer section, are not required.
- When Coil Coaters apply BRUGAL^®PRIME by Roll Coater at the Pretreatment section of their Coil Coating Line (CCL), they will get the following advantages:
  - Very simple application process.
    Product will adapt to all coil coat line configurations.
  - Top Quality Prepainted Steel. Because BRUGALPRIME is an acrylic product, it offers higher performances, in terms of corrosion protection and adhesion, than usual inorganic pre-treatments used in the market.
Technical and economical advantages for Coil Coaters which have a single pass painting line
- When coil coaters with a Single Pass Painting Line receive aluminium coils already coated with BRUGALPRIME, they will be able to produce Top Quality Prepainted Steel in only one pass because Primer is not required.
