Thanks to advanced formulations, Condoroil products enhance surface quality, reduce operational costs, and comply with environmental regulations.

Lubricants

Lubricants for stainless steel must ensure optimal friction reduction and excellent protection of tools and materials during cold forming processes or other machining operations. The CONDORLUBE range by Condoroil guarantees high-performance lubrication, improving the quality of processed surfaces and extending tool life.

CONDORLUBE S 410: a high-performance synthetic lubricant ideal for coil profiling in stainless steel tube production lines. Its composition ensures friction reduction and a uniform surface finish, free of stains and organic residues.
CONDORLUBE Z 20 R: a semi-synthetic lubricant specifically designed for brushing and satin-finishing operations on stainless steels. It minimizes tool wear while ensuring constant and long-lasting lubrication.
CONDORLUBE R 664: a ready-to-use lubricant for cutting operations. Being evaporative, it leaves surfaces clean and dry.
CONDORLUBE PCX: designed for the cold forming of stainless steels, this lubricant offers high lubricating capacity, ensuring optimal performance even under severe working conditions.
CONDORLUBE TF 24: an innovative polymer-based solution for forming and drawing processes. Its formulation provides advanced wear protection and reduces operational costs due to lower lubricant consumption.

Pickling and electropolishing

Pickling and electropolishing are essential processes for removing oxides and impurities from stainless steel surfaces, ensuring a clean and bright finish. DESCALINOX products by Condoroil are formulated to provide effective and safe treatment, preserving metal integrity and enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the finished product.

DESCALINOX P 14 TPF FAST: a fast-acting pickling agent for stainless steel, classified in category 2, ideal for removing surface oxides and impurities. It ensures quick and uniform action, reducing process time.
DESCALINOX P 22: a product for electrolytic pickling, designed for deep cleaning of stainless steel surfaces. It effectively removes oxides and welding residues while being classified only as an irritant.
DESCALINOX 860 INOX: a formulation for electropolishing, used to remove oxides and impurities without compromising metal surface quality, leaving a smooth and shiny finish.
DESCALINOX P 27: a specific citric acid-based solution for pickling stainless steel surfaces. It improves the aesthetic appearance, giving a glossy and corrosion-resistant finish.

Degreasing

Degreasing is a crucial step in stainless steel processing, as it eliminates oils, greases, and other contaminants from surfaces before further treatments. Condoroil degreasing products are formulated to ensure deep and effective cleaning, preparing surfaces for operations such as pickling or welding.

DEGREASER PICKLING AGENT 608 BG: a combined degreasing and pickling product for stainless steels. It effectively removes contaminants and oxides, ensuring a clean surface ready for subsequent processing and heat treatments.
CONDORITE 743: an acidic degreaser for deep cleaning of stainless steel. It is designed to effectively remove stearates without damaging the metal surface.
ELECTROLYTIC DEGREASER 159 NV: a high-performance electrolytic degreaser optimized for preparing stainless steel surfaces. It ensures uniform cleaning, improving the adhesion of coatings or subsequent treatments.

Oxalation and salting

Oxalation and salting are special processes that enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel surfaces, improve lubricant adhesion, and create a mechanical barrier between the tool and the metal surface. The CONDORLUBE range includes products specifically designed to ensure optimal results in these critical phases.

CONDORLUBE 250 SAL: a salting product for stainless steel, developed to enhance lubricant adhesion during drawing operations and provide a mechanical barrier between the tool and the metal.
CONDORLUBE 281 SAL: a boron-free formulation specifically for salting processes.
OXATAL: formulated for oxalation processes, designed to promote stronger lubricant adhesion and ensure a mechanical barrier between the tool and the metal.

Thanks to these complete and specialized solutions, Condoroil supports manufacturers of stainless steel tubes and long products in optimizing their processes, improving production efficiency and product quality, while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability and compliance with environmental regulations.
