Acrylic Dry Film Lubricants (DFL's) have a low coefficient of friction ranging from 0.04 to 0.10.
This low coefficient of friction enables these DFL's to form parts that would not normally form, or would be difficult to form, using a normal wet lube. Because of the nature and hardness of
DFL's, they are able to reduce or eliminate
metal-to-metal contact. This reduces galling of the part and subsequent damage to the dies, resulting in: less die maintenance, improved efficiencies, minimized breakage, and enhanced profitability. DFL's eliminate the need for oils,
pre-lubes, and drawing compounds.

They will also increase the formability of your metals allowing you to see an increase in your productivity and through-put by increasing your coil to coil yields. The use of a DFL could also allow you to change the grade of metal currently being used to make your part. This could potentially lead to substantial cost savings and reduce your overall cost of the formed component. Furthermore, DFL's will reduce overall waste, improve housekeeping and more importantly, improve the safety of your plant by eliminating wet lubes.
