Water Soluble Oils
Formall® water soluble drawing compounds contain emulsifying agents that allow the oil to form a stable mixture with water. Lamson Formall water soluble oils are divided into two categories, chlorine based lubricants and chlorine free lubricants. Both types of lubricants form a stable mixture with water. Diluting with water reduces the cost and increases the cooling power far beyond that of a straight oil. Since lubricants mix with water, cleanup of the parts and work area are much easier.
These oils were the first types of lubricants used in the stamping industry and are still widely used today. They are reliable and economical. Shown below are just a few of our complete line of chlorine based straight oils.
F0RMALL 2305
Regular duty water soluble
This standard light-to-medium duty oil
can be applied with mixing ratios from
2:1 to 12:1, depending on the job.
Ideal for blanking, piercing, punching,
and stamping.
FORMALL 2312
Medium duty water soluble
Contains more EP additives to handle
medium-duty jobs. Excellent for
heavy blanking and piercing, as well as
stamping and forming. Mixing ratios
range from 2:1 up to 12:1.
FORMALL 2325
Heavy duty water soluble
For the heaviest application (including
deep drawing work). Contains large
quantities of EP additives but still maintains
a stable emulsion that will not
separate.

Chlorine-Free
The Lamson Oil line of environmentally safe, water soluble lubricants contain no chlorine or active sulfur. These oils are specially formulated to resist staining even in high humidity. In most cases parts can go straight to welding or annealing without pre-cleaning.
F0RMALL 2280
Medium duty water soluble stamping and drawing oil
Our medium duty compound heavily formulated to replace straight oils in punch press operations. Excellent for conventional stamping and drying operations.
F0RMALL 2282
Heavy duty water soluble stamping and drawing oil
Our heaviest duty compound formulated to replace straight oils in stamping operations.
F0RMALL 2330
Designed for aluminum stamping and welding
A water-soluble drawing compound that is exceptionally rich in lubricity agents and is specifically formulated for aluminum stamping. Absence of chlorine and active sulphur means parts can be taken straight from the press to welding or annealing operations.
F0RMALL 2340
Laminating lubricant
An oil which allows for dilution ratios up to 20:1. Provides superb lubricity, enabling laminations to come out of the annealing furnace in a loose and free condition.
