Fluid tech line
CIMCOOL® Fluid Technology has expanded the Cimmill line
of products for tube and pipe customers.
“The Cimmill line was released in February 2012 to better
serve the tube and pipe market,” stated Bruce Koehler,
product manager for Cimcool Fluid Technology. “The
Cimmill line was formulated for processors to get better
thread quality, longer die and tool life, as well as other
performance attributes our customers expect from Cimcool
products. When customers started using our Cimmill fluids,
they asked if we had products for their other applications.
These customers were already seeing more productivity and
thought that they could benefit further from our technology.”
The Cimmill fluid line expansion includes:
• Cimmill RP 24-7 solvent/oil-based rust protection, used
neat. This product will provide over a year of corrosion
protection and leaves a protective film residue
• Cimmill RP 365 water-based rust inhibitor, used
as-supplied to provide up to a year of indoor corrosion
protection. The protective fluid is VOC-free and meets the
standards set by the California South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1144
• Cimmill SC, an alkaline sump cleaner developed to
rid sumps of biofilms and built-up debris. It is suitable for
cleaning sumps prior to charge-ups and helps provide a
clean environment for new fluids
• Cimmill 5 straight-oil, designed for tough cold pilgering
operations. This product is chlorine-free, but offers the
performance that usually requires extreme pressure
lubricants to achieve.
“These additions supplement an already good product line
and make it stronger. We knew the tube and pipe industry
would benefit from having fluids with better performance,
especially considering the growth of natural gas exploration
in the United States,” said Mr Koehler.
As with all Cimcool products, the new Cimmill line is
backed by the company’s no-hassle product guarantee,
technical support, and offer of a free product trial.

Joint compound
HELDITE sealant can prevent the leakage and seepage
of water, steam, gases and oils where tubes and pipes are
joined. It was formulated in 1918 to fulfil an increasing demand
for a versatile and universal sealant. Heldite is universal, so
there is no need to carry a selection of different products. It is
suitable for flanged, screwed and compression joints, and will
act as a locking agent during joint assembly. It can be used
for joining pipework, tubes and rubber hoses with or without
a gasket. Because it is a liquid jointing compound, unlike a
silicone paste it will not squeeze out of/break off within a joint,
which can cause damage to interior working parts.
