Dry Film Lubricant for
Appliance Manufacturing
Dry Film Lubricant (DFL)
Dry Film Lubricants, or DFLs, provide a better metal-processing experience. When producing metal appliances, DFL eliminates the need for wet lubricants by providing significant lubricity for metal forming with a no-mess, dry-to-the-touch coating.
- Ensures the best part quality for steel and aluminium forming
- Protects to ensure that each unit remains flawless
- Can extend the life of your equipment and materials
- Eliminates the mess of oil in your facility
- Reduces the need for plastic film as a protective coating
- Works around tight grooves, delicate bends and precision cuts
- Protects interior and exterior components from scuffing or scratching

DFL Advantages
Dry Film Lubricant eliminates the need for oils, pre-lubes, and other compounds that are currently used to aid in the stamping and forming process. DFL is an environmentally safe choice that saves money, reduces scrap and improves part quality.
PLANT EFFICIENCY
- Usable on most metal substrates
- Eliminates metal-to-metal contact, protecting the tool and formed part
- Reduces die maintenance and die adjustments during long runs
- Doesn’t affect secondary processing (Slitting, CTL, etc.)
- Eliminates oil clean-up time
- Eliminates need for rust preventatives and washing steps before welding and stamping
- Roll metals straight off one line and into the next one without additional processing
COST SAVINGS
- Decreased wear-and-tear prolongs equipment life
- Can complete longer runs with fewer stops
- Reduce scrap rates
- Immediately increase substrate formability
- Reduce steel grade without sacrificing product quality
- Reduce facility cleaning costs by eliminating oil-based lubricants
- Reduce air and fire safety hazards from storing oil-based lubricants
PART QUALITY
- Provide consistent, defect-free parts with longer-lasting equipment
- Benefit from transportation corrosion protection
- Protect tight grooves, delicate bends and precision cuts
- Suitable for deep-draw stamping
- Easily remove DFL with an alkaline cleaner
- Some DFLs provide weldability without removal
CLEAN ENVIRONMENT
- Removable after use
- Eliminates the need for oils and other drawing compounds
- Eliminate oil drum storage
- Reduce respiratory and fire safety risks from wet lubricants
- Reduce need for protective plastic films on interior/exterior appliance components
- Removes VOCs and HAPs from processing
