WITH PROVEN RECIPES
IRMCO® product ranges set standards
LBI oil free, as an explicit distributor of IRMCO® lubricants, presents two new product ranges into which years of development work and experience have flowed:
- IRMCO® FLUID 980 323K
- IRMCO® FLUID 980 109J

IRMCO vs. Classic
IRMCO® FLUID 980 109J
The lubricant is suitable for simple to medium-heavy machining of steel, high-strength steels, stainless steel and non-ferrous metals. A total of four products have been combined with this series.
IRMCO® FLUID 980 323K
This product is suitable for heavy to heaviest punching & forming work of steel, high-strength steels, stainless steel, titanium, aluminium and non-ferrous metals. A total of seven products have been combined with this range.
Both IRMCO® product ranges set a new cost-effective standard that can cover more than 80 percent of non-cutting metal processing.
If your application cannot be implemented with these products, special solutions and even customised product solutions are available from the LBI portfolio.
For high-strength materials: IRMCO® FLUIDS
IRMCO® FLUID polymer technology was developed for demanding applications of high-strength steel in the automotive industry. For example, the product range is the first oil-free lubricant for metal forming approved by Ford Motor Co. This thin-film technology enables the production of parts from all high-strength steel grades with tensile strengths of up to 1,180 N/mm².
Optimised assembly, cleaning and painting
In most cases, parts formed with IRMCO® products can be welded, painted or assembled without prior cleaning, resulting in significant savings in energy and process efficiency. IRMCO® lubricants have been proven to have the lowest rate of paint defects caused by lubricant residues.
Deep Drawing & Punching
IRMCO® FLUIDS high-performance lubricants for stamping and
deep drawing are oil-free alternatives to conventional oils. IRMCO® FLUIDS have been extensively tested in laboratory and field trials and proven for decades to replace chlorinated and other conventional oil-based stamping lubricants in heavy stamping and forming processes.
