Aqueous polymer lubricants
Water-based lubricants for reliable forming processes with high lubricating performance. They leave minimal residue and, depending on the application, may allow for further processing of the components without prior degreasing.

Water-Based Alternative for Metal Forming Processes
Metal forming processes generate high levels of friction, pressure, and temperature. Inadequate lubrication leads to wear, surface defects, and inconsistent results. At the same time, low consumption, clean surfaces, and process compatibility are required. Water-based lubricants must also provide corrosion protection.
Aqueous polymer lubricants combine the lubricating effect of modified polymers with the cooling effect of the water they contain. The polymer components form a durable lubricating film between the tool and the workpiece, while the water content acts as a carrier medium and aids in heat dissipation. Depending on the lubricant, the application amount, and the process, minimal or touch-dry residues may remain after machining. This allows subsequent manufacturing steps to be carried out, in some cases, without prior degreasing.
This results in the following process advantages, among others:
- High lubricating performance
- Reducing Friction and Tool Wear
- Mild cooling effect
- Potential reduction or elimination of downstream cleaning processes
Water-based
Raziol Fluid & Polyfluid
The products in the RAZIOL Fluid and Polyfluid lines are ready-to-use, aqueous solutions of modified polymers designed for forming processes of varying complexity. Despite their very low mineral oil content, these products deliver high lubricating performance and leave relatively little residue. Depending on the material, product variant, and subsequent process, further processing is often possible without additional degreasing.
The product line covers applications ranging from simple to high-stress forming operations for a variety of materials. The fluids are available in concentrations already tailored to specific applications and do not require further dilution before use.
Application
- Non-cutting forming of steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum
- Light-duty to heavy-duty forming processes with high demands on lubrication performance
- Forming processes that require a slight cooling effect during processing
- Applications followed by a welding process, which in some cases can be performed without prior component cleaning
- Applications in which traditional mineral oil-based forming lubricants are to be replaced by an aqueous polymer lubricant
To ensure a precise application of lubricant, Raziol Fluid and Polyfluid can be applied using suitable spray systems (depending on the specific process requirements).
Features
- Water-based formulations based on modified polymers with a very low mineral oil content
- High lubricating performance
- Promotes long tool life and high-quality surface finishes
- Easily rinses off with aqueous-alkaline cleaners
- Depending on the product and process, follow-up processes can often be carried out without prior degreasing
- Cooling effect due to the water content
- Free of solvents, PFAS, and nitrites in the formulation
