Protective Coatings

Enhance your hot forging and rolling operations with our specialized range of protective coatings and die lubricants. Designed to withstand extreme temperatures up to 1280°C, these solutions are essential for modern metalworking facilities looking to improve yield and reduce operational costs. By significantly reducing scaling and preventing decarburization, our products ensure superior surface quality on billets and blooms while extending the lifespan of your dies and induction heaters. Whether you are performing complex net-shape forgings or heat treatment, these formulations minimize rejection rates and maximize productivity.

Product List:

• Graphite-based Hot Forging Die Lubricant - ESPON GK 27

  • A water-miscible, graphite-based lubricant for net-shape forgings, extrusions, and complex hot/warm forgings.

  • Eliminates smoke and pollution while extending die life.

• Anti-Scale Protective Coating - ESPON HF

  • Protective coating (Pink Paste) for blooms and billets to control decarburization and prevent quench cracking.

  • Reduces scaling during reheating and prevents rejection due to scale pits.

• Anti-Scale Protective Coating - ESPON HR

  • High-temperature protective coating (Yellow Paste) effective up to 1280°C.

  • Prevents billet sticking in induction heaters and enables 50-72% reduction in scaling.
