    Winona, Minn. – (June 7, 2023) –Just in time for FABTECH 2023, Fluoramics is introducing HinderRUST for Metal Fabrication and Welding.

    HinderRUST for Metal Fabrication and Welding offers several features not found in other lubricating rust stoppers:

    • It is weld-through approved, meaning the rust-stopping product does not need to be removed and no priming is needed prior to welding. 
    • It offers both short-term and long-term penetration protection against flash rust, pitting, and corrosion.
    • It is removable for final finishing through normal finish coat preparation procedures such as sanding, grinding, blasting, or cleaning with acids and chemicals.
    • It may be used as a high-performance cutting oil fluid to lubricate, minimize heat and friction, and extend tool life.

    HinderRUST for Metal Fabrication and Welding is engineered using HinderRUST® Technology. It goes on as a mobile liquid that wets to surfaces and creeps into seams. It starts protecting and lubricating surfaces upon application, and keeps metals protected against rust before, during, and after welding.

    Use HinderRUST for Metal Fabrication and Welding for short- and long-term storage plus shipping protection. It prevents flash rust and corrosion on aluminum, brass, alloys, cast iron, hardened steel, and stainless steel, plus it doesn’t need to be removed or primed before welding. HinderRUST will not affect weld puddles, bend testing or tensile testing.

    Also use this HinderRUST version as a lubricating cutting oil during metal processing and forming operations such as tap & die, drilling, sawing, boring, engraving, bending, and machining as it will reduce torque, extend tool life, and reduce heat and damage caused by friction. Use it also as a lubricant during nut/bolt and final product assembly to prevent rust, metal seizures, and galling. 

    Solvent free, HinderRUST for Metal Fabrication and Welding is non-toxic and non-flammable. All HinderRUSTproducts are solvent-free and non-hazardous which means they are safe to use everywhere and will not evaporate over time. The chemistry is both water-displacing and self-repairing. It remains mobile and fills voids created by nicks, scratches, or dents.

    Unlike most other rust inhibitors, HinderRUST is based on engineered chemistry that makes it an incredibly effective rust stopper. All HinderRUST products are surface active through a chemical process known as adsorption which spreads the product across the surface of metal and forms a molecular adhesion to the surface. Adsorption creates a thin film of HinderRUST on metal surfaces which make it much more difficult to wear off.

    "We’re excited about HinderRUST for Metal Fabrication and Welding. We continue to develop and leverage our chemistries to help industries save money, and to improve processes, quality, and product life cycle,” said Gregg Reick, Fluoramics’ President and Chief Chemical Engineer.

    HinderRUST for Metal Fabrication and Welding is available in quarts, gallons, and aerosol spray cans. Apply to wet or dry metals by airless sprayer, brush, or roller. For long-term storage, reapply as needed.

    Fluoramics is offering a post-show special of 23% off website orders when using a code specific to the show. Stop by Booth B37071 in the Welding Pavilion to get the code.

  • Fluoramics, a premier provider of thread sealants, greases, lubricants and corrosion control products to the welding and metal fabrication industry, offers a complete line of industrial greases and lubricants for CNC plasma cutting tables, CNC routers, CNC lathe milling equipment, CO2 laser engravers, plus automation, robotics, and CAD/CAM and CNC machinery. 

    Professionals know keeping up with routine maintenance and lubrication of machines will ensure smooth operation, extend equipment life, and prevent expensive failures by allowing friction-prone parts to move smoothly with less wear. To get on top of lubrication, facilities need a plan that puts the right lubricants in the right places at the right time for X and Y axis guide rails, Z axis screws, chain drives, ball bearings, linear bearings, pulleys, wheels, motors, gears, rollers, ball screws, moving parts, and automatic lubrication pumps. 

    Tufoil Compu-Lube is a new product specially designed for robotics, 3D printers, computer fans, and high-speed mechanisms. This member of the Tufoil Technology family is a lightweight synthetic oil for fine bearings, guide rails, plastic/metal gears, threaded rods, and other moving parts. It lubricates, acts as a cleaning agent, and helps prevent rust. It has a high dielectric constant and is safe with electronics and electromechanical devices. Compu-Lube is available in a convenient dropper tip bottle. 

    Another popular product, Chain, Wire & Cable, lubricates and protects against corrosion on chain drives and rails on cutting devices such as plasma, waterjet, laser, and CNC cutters. It is available in an aerosol spray can, quart, and gallon jugs.  

    Tufoil High Temperature Spindle Grease is an odorless lubricant based on colloids of PTFE and soluble molybdenum (moly). High Temperature Spindle Grease is stable in excessive heat and will not melt or run with heat, even in direct flame. It reduces friction and wear between moving parts in high-speed and high-heat environments. This NLGI Grade 2 High Temperature Spindle Grease is available in a variety of packages and sizes including a grease cartridge that is compatible with a standard 14 oz grease gun to lube grease fittings, points, rails, bearings, and slides. This product is ideal for all types of automated metal forming, metal cutting, fabricating, welding, finishing, CAM and CNC table machinery.

    For CNC devices with electronic auto lubrication, Tufoil for Industrial Use reduces wear, noise, vibrations, and friction while improving production and cutting downtime. It reduces heat and operating oil temperatures, lowers starting torque, extends oil-drain intervals, eliminates sheet metal cracking, cuts waste, and speeds production. For optimum results, add Industrial Tufoil to the reservoir or sump capacity when changing the system’s oil.

  • Robots and 3D printers make manufacturing smarter but it’s maintenance that allows them to work harder. Moving parts on these devices face high heat, high speeds, and friction. Effective lubrication goes a long way to negating the impact of these stressors, making lubrication a critical part of maintenance. 

    Whether robotics are used in welding, material handling, assembling, or dispensing, these and 3D printers benefit from effective lubrication in the following ways:
    • Increased production output
    • Reduced downtime
    • Lower operating costs
    • Improved product quality
    • Less waste

    Compu-Lube is a lightweight synthetic oil engineered by Fluoramics to safely lubricate electronics, computers, and high-speed mechanisms such as 3D printers, 3D printer Z screw, computer fans, robotics, printer guide rails, threaded rods, and fine bearings. Heavy lubricants can inhibit movement so using a lightweight oil in these cases provides optimal lubrication in plastic-on-plastic, metal-on-metal, and plastic-on-metal contact.

    Not only does Compu-Lube lubricate, but it acts as a cleaning agent and helps prevent rust. It has a high dielectric constant and is safe with electronics and electromechanical devices.

    Compu-Lube is engineered using Tufoil® Technology. Solvent-free, Compu-Lube is a super low friction, low wear, low viscosity lubricant that uses very small PTFE particles to get between the finest working surfaces. PTFE lubricants have one of the lowest drag coefficients of all the available lubricants. Drag coefficients is a measure of the surface friction of a compound.

    “Scanning electron microscope studies show the PTFE particles are attracted to metal surface and are difficult to remove. That means Compu-Lube easily gets between the smallest working surfaces,” says Gregg Reick, Fluoramics’ President and Chief Chemical Engineer.

    Compu-Lube’s 16.5 mL (.557 fl oz) dropper tip bottle provides easy application to small areas. To use, place a small drop on areas like bearings, guides, and control cables. For high-speed mechanisms, use a tiny trace on moving parts to start. Sparingly add more until the part works smoothly. Wipe off any excess oil.
