Lubricant eases corrosion prevention

Tag : anti-rust oil

Shell Ensis PL 1608 is a two-in-one product with anti-rustproperties, and has been designed for both the metals sector andcar manufacturers.
Laurent Barnagaud, Shell Metalworking Marketing Manager said:"Steel manufacturers are looking for a prelube which can addressthe associated traditional difficulties with application, corrosionand storage".
"At the same time, their customers in car manufacturing arestruggling with the compatibility of prelubes with the array ofdifferent metals they use and the different processes these metalsare subject to during the manufacturing process".
"Shell Ensis PL 1608 brings real solutions and practical benefitsto both these key groups".
"For example, the micro-wax free technology used by Shell Ensis PL1608 allows for easier application at room temperature, so metalcompanies can apply direct from the storage tank freeing upvaluable time and reducing energy costs as there is no longer arequirement to heat the prelube".
"In today's climate of ever increasing energy costs, this can leadto significant savings".
The micro-wax free technology also reduces the chances of filterblockages, which can lead to regular cleaning requirements as wellas unplanned maintenance and down-time.
Up to 25% less prelube is required when using Shell Ensis PL1608.
"Car manufacturers gain from the better drawing properties of ShellEnsis PL 1608" Laurent said.
"The product's high EP content means that less, and in some casesno, additional oiling for drawing is required".
"The micro-wax free technology also reduces the 'dry island'phenomenon, ensuring that the oil film stays even and stable".
"This new technology also helps to significantly improve themultimetal corrosion protection of finished parts, including zinc-coated steel".
"Another key benefit for car manufacturers is Shell Ensis PL 1608'scompatibility with processes further down the line, includingadhering and degreasing" Laurent said. Request a free brochure from Shell Lubricants.
