Understanding

Is your current product improving your processing downstream? Is your current product increasing your downtime, is it messy – foaming, dusting, not coating, are you changing solids regularly?

We provide in plant support before, during and after the trial. Our goal is to give our customers real solutions that save time and money.

What are powdered metal lubricants?

Specialty additives blended directly into the metal powder mix to improve flow, reduce ejection force, strengthen green parts, and support clean, high-integrity sintering.
Our Caplube® portfolio includes non-zinc, low-ash grades (e.g., Caplube® L) engineered for high density and cleaner burn-off, plus Markee™ secondary-operation lubricants for sizing/machining and long-term corrosion protection.
No. They’re blended directly into the metal powder using standard mixing equipment—no process hardware changes required.
In both pressing and sizing operations. They’re designed to deliver excellent flow, green strength, ejection behaviour, and sintered integrity across ferrous and non-ferrous applications.
Similar to conventional lubricants, so adoption is straightforward and changeover is simple.
Yes. By reducing ejection pressures (often 10–30%), they extend die life, lower maintenance, and support higher uptime.
We’re the only supplier that application-tests every batch in iron mixes—validating flow, density, green strength, ejection force, and sintered properties before shipment.
A full PM lab with a sintering furnace, laser-diffraction particle size analysis, and standard PM test rigs that mirror real production conditions.
Absolutely. We tailor blends to target density, alloy system, press tonnage, and geometry—then validate performance with application testing.
PM producers and Tier 1/Tier 2 suppliers in automotive, aerospace, industrial, and other sectors that require consistent, high-density parts with clean surfaces.
