Challenges in Metalworking
Does your rolling process meet your expectations?
Metal rolling requires precise control of many parameters. Incorrect rolling oil may lead to surface defects, accelerated wear of rolls, and production downtime.
Five Critical Issues in Rolling Process
Metal Sticking
Lack of adequate lubrication causes metal to stick to the rolls. Surface defects of the workpiece require additional processing or lead to rejections.
Overheating of Rolls
Inefficient cooling during rolling results in thermal distortions. Product dimensional instability and accelerated tool wear increase costs.
Deposits and Contaminations
Oil degradation forms deposits that block the filtration system. Contaminants worsen surface quality and require frequent cleaner roll maintenance.
Material Corrosion
Lack of corrosion protection leads to oxidation of the rolled metal. The issue is particularly noticeable when cold rolling steel and copper alloys.
Annealing Stains
Improper rolling oils leave stains after annealing. Additional degreasing increases time and production costs.
We Select Optimal Oil for Your Type of Processing
Aluminum Rolling Oils
Specialist lubricants for aluminum rolling mills, including food-grade foil. They ensure clean annealing without stains, precise friction control, and compliance with FDA requirements for food contact.
Steel Rolling Oils
Advanced formulations for cold rolling steel and stainless steel. Excellent cooling and lubricating properties minimize roll wear with high thickness reductions.
Copper Rolling Oils
Special oils without sulfur additives for copper and its alloys. They prevent the formation of copper soaps, ensuring clean surfaces and process stability in multi-roll mills.

Where to Use Rolling Oils?
Our rolling oils are used in various metalworking processes, providing optimal efficiency and quality.
Aluminum Rolling
Production of aluminum sheets and foil requires precise process control. Cold rolling oils for aluminum ensure proper annealing properties and surface finish.
Steel Rolling
Steel mills use high-lubricity oils. Both carbon and stainless steel require corrosion protection during the rolling process.
Copper and Alloy Rolling
Four- and six-high copper mills need special oils. Absence of sulfur additives prevents chemical reactions with the metal.
Food Foil Production
Rolling of food packaging foil demands FDA-compliant oils. Special formulations ensure product safety and purity.
Precision Sheet Metalworking
Rolling of precision sheets for the electronics and automotive industries. Oils ensure dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness.
Multi-stage Rolling Systems
Complex rolling lines require oil with stable properties. A filtration and additive dosing system optimizes performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What differentiates aluminum rolling oil from steel oil?
Oils for aluminum must allow for clean annealing and often meet FDA standards. Oils for steel focus on high lubricity and corrosion protection during substantial reductions.
Can I use the same oil for different metals?
Some base oils are universal, but optimal results require additive adjustments. A concentrate system allows flexible adaptation to different metals.
How often should rolling oil be changed?
It depends on usage intensity and the filtration system. Regular oil analyses allow determining the optimal moment for replacement or supplementing additives.
What does FDA compliance mean for rolling oils?
Oils compliant with FDA 21 CFR 178.3910(a) can be used in the production of aluminum foil for food contact. They ensure safety without affecting the quality of packaged products.
How does the additive system aid optimization?
Additive concentrates allow adjusting oil properties to current needs. It is possible to modify lubricity and antioxidant properties without replacing the entire oil.
