DRY-LUBING
Coating Steel with Borax-based Lubricant to Enhance Manufacturing

Dry-lubing is the process of coating steel with a dry, soap-based lubricant. Dry-lubing eliminates petroleum-based oils from the manufacturing process and provides customers with material that requires no additional lubrication during most forming operations.

By using Worthington’s dry-lubed steel instead of petroleum-based drawing compounds, you’ll realize dramatic reductions in production costs and risks. Dry-lubed steel enhances your manufacturing operation, reduces environmental risks and reporting, and fosters a cleaner, safer workplace.
