Water Soluble Oils

FormAll® water soluble drawing compounds contain emulsifying agents that allow the oil to form a stable mixture with water. Lamson's FormAll water soluble oils are divided into two categories, chlorine based 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 these lubricants are mixed with water, cleanup of the parts and work area is much easier.

Chlorine Based

These oils were one of the first types of lubricants used in the stamping industry and are still widely used today. They are reliable and economical. Below are just a few products in Lamson's complete line of chlorine water solubles.

FORMALL 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

Our line of environmentally safe, water soluble lubricants contain no chlorine or active sulfur. Specially formulated to resist staining even in high humidity. In most cases, parts can go straight to welding or annealing without pre-cleaning.

FORMALL 2280
Medium duty water soluble stamping and drawing oil

This medium duty water soluble is heavily formulated to replace straight oils in punch press operations. Excellent for conventional stamping and drying operations.

FORMALL 2282
Heavy duty water soluble stamping and drawing oil

Our heaviest duty chlorine-free water soluble is formulated to replace straight oils in stamping operations.

FORMALL 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.

FORMALL 2340
Laminating lubricant

A water soluble oil which allows for dilution ratios up to 20:1. It provides superb lubricity, enabling laminations to come out of the annealing furnace in a loose and free condition.
