Expansion of fluid technology 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 365 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 24-7 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.
