Metal Stamping & Forming Lubricants

For Appliance & Industrial Manufacturers

Specialized process lubricants for metal stamping and cold forming, where lubricant selection can affect much more than the press operation.

An LMI case study involving automotive and household-appliance stamping reported 30% lower lubricant usage, 20% lower applied cost, longer coated-punch life, easier cleaning, elimination of smoke during heavy stamping, and elimination of black spots during welding after replacing mineral oil.

Our relationships extend beyond traditional adhesive technologies.

HAR can source specialized oils, metal-forming and stamping lubricants, greases, and other process materials when they complement the manufacturing applications and industries we support.

A good example is HAR's support of the household appliance industry. Through our relationship with LMI, HAR provides specialized lubricant technologies for metal stamping and cold metal deformation, including water-based emulsions and neat lubricants.

LMI's vegetable-oil-based technologies are designed to provide high lubrication and cooling capacity while offering biodegradability and reduced environmental impact.

The point isn't that HAR wants to become an industrial lubricant company. It's that when a trusted technology can help solve a customer's manufacturing problem, we're willing to look beyond the traditional boundaries of an adhesive supplier.

Adhesive Application Equipment: Choosing the Right System for Your Business

Selecting the right adhesive application equipment is one of the most important decisions you can make for your production process. The way adhesive is applied is just as important as the adhesive itself. The right system ensures consistent bonding, minimizes waste, and keeps your production line running smoothly.

Hot Melt Equipment Rentals: Available from HAR When You Can’t Wait

When a hot melt system goes down, waiting days—or weeks—for replacement equipment can quickly become expensive. Production stops, orders fall behind, and shipping commitments are missed.

Helping Paper Tube Manufacturers Create New Value with In-Line Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Technology

Working together, our team evaluated the entire application—not just the adhesive. By combining HAR's application expertise with ITW Dynatec adhesive application technology, we developed an innovative in-line solution that applies hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive during the tube winding process, before the tube is cut to length.
