Optilab Alu-9

Food-grade aluminum material, strip and foil rolling oil.

OPTILAB ALU-9 is effective in reducing friction between the rolling mill and the metal during the production of aluminum coils and sheets, ensuring the sheet thickness reaches the desired level, and controlling the temperature.

ADVANTAGES

OPTILAB ALU-9 allows for faster annealing with less heat due to its low boiling point and narrower boiling range.
Its low viscosity enables high-speed rolling. It also provides better temperature control.
Its much lower evaporation rate prevents the formation of harmful emissions.
Its low bromine index provides much better oxidation stability.
Thanks to its very low aromatic and naphthenic component content:

- It does not cause staining problems on the rolled metal surface.
- Its odorless nature provides a more comfortable working environment.
- Its biodegradability does not harm the environment or human health.

Complies with FDA 21 CFR 178.3620 (b) standard.

FEATURES

OPTILAB ALU-9 provides better lubrication by spreading across the entire surface during rolling.
Prevents corrosion on aluminum sheets and coils.
Easily and completely removed from the rolled metal surface.
Has a much longer service life.
Does not contain components harmful to the environment and human health.
Reduces evaporation losses that may occur during operation.
Prevents cracks or fractures on metal surfaces.
Minimizes the risk of fire during operation due to its high flash point.
Ensures a brighter metal surface after the rolling process.

CONTENTS

OPTILAB ALU-9 rolling oil consists of a base oil that allows the dispersion of additives, additives that increase lubrication, and antioxidant additives that increase resistance to oxidation. Base oils provide heat control and facilitate annealing in addition to additive dispersion. Additives adhere to the surface of rolled aluminum, preventing cracking and film fractures. Additives also ensure controlled heat distribution, reducing evaporation losses. Antioxidants, on the other hand, prevent the oxidation of rolling oil at high temperatures, extending the oil's service life.
