    Prove It in Your Plant

    Run a trial with us and see what optimization can do for your process

    MULTISIZE® 9257/4 is a solvent-based sizing lubricant with EP additives. It creates a thin, dry-to-the-touch film that reduces friction and heat in the sizing press. Recommended for sintered parts with a final density of 6.0–7.0, it delivers clean ejection and extended tool life.

    This formula can be customized. Find out how

    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.
