Lubricants
Circle-Prosco manufactures a wide range of lubricants for various industrial applications. We specialize in the automotive and residential heat exchanger industries. Our products and experience in these fields come from working cooperatively with customers, machine manufacturers, and other outside suppliers. With this collective knowledge, we can help manufacturers of braze related products reduce or eliminate deoiling systems, streamline manufacturing processes, and improve quality. We also specialize in residential fin stamping and tube expanding.
All of our products are compatible with each other and can be used to make any aluminum component. They have been tested with a variety of flux chemistries from all of the leading flux manufacturers.
| CV Products | |
| Water based petrochemical solutions designed to meet the lubricity requirements of most aluminum stamping and forming operations. CV products can be used to reduce excessive oxide build-up in shipping and will impart a slippery surface that will aid in the assembly process. Advantages include low VOCs and compatibility with CAB, vacuum and most other braze methods. Specific products can eliminate the need for cleaning and can be fluxed over without any cleaning. | |
| CV-200 | This water-based synthetic is widely used throughout industry. Customers employ it in many applications, including fin forming, tube mill applications, and light stamping. CV-200 will not separate in water. |
| CV-400 | Our updated version of CV-200 has excellent lubricity and increased volatility where deoiling is desired. CV-400 can also be used in most CAB operations without any deoiling. It provides a wettable surface for flux adhesion and is compatible with a variety of flux application techniques. |
| DL Products | |
| Oil or solvent based products for a variety of forming and stamping operations. They can also be used for specific tube mill operations. Our DL products are compatible with all deoiling operations, including aqueous, solvent, or thermal degreasing. | |
| DL-485 | An industry standard for many years for fin forming and many stamping operations. DL-485 can be used in conjunction with a variety of CAB and vacuum braze operations. DL-485 can also be used as a base for electrostatic fluxing operations. |
| DL-495 | A heavy duty version of DL-485. |
| DL-486 | DL-486 combines machinability with excellent flux wetting characteristics. |
| DL-405 | A great product for tube mill cut-off applications. |
| DL-465 | Ideal for tube expanding light to heavier gauge material. |
| DL-466 | Used for fin stamping of all kinds. DL-466 works very well when higher collar heights are required. |
| EV Products | |
| The EV line of lubricants was specifically engineered to provide all the desired characteristics of a lubricant for aluminum stamping and forming with an added benefit: in many cases, it can reduce or eliminate the requirement for a degreasing step prior to fluxing. All EV products have excellent volatility. | |
| EV-1-LT | Designed for most light to medium duty aluminum stamping and forming operations. It can be used in a variety of tube mill operations. |
| EV-2-HD | A heavy duty version of EV-1-LT where increased lubricity is required. |
| VO Products | |
| The VO line of lubricants is designed to be used for light duty stamping and forming operations where high volatility is the main concern. | |
| VO-205 | VO-205 is a light duty lubricant for aluminum stamping and forming operations. Excellent volatility. |
| VO-207 | A higher flash point version of VO-205. |
