Case Study 1

Example for application of chlorine-free Fineblanking oils like HOLIFA VP 1127

For standard applications like blanking of brake pads or other part of medium to high degrees of difficulties chlorine-free Fineblanking oil solutions are existing for more than 10 years now. Our HOLIFA VP 1127 is one of these oils providing very good performance.

-For extreme Fineblanking operations with very high degrees of difficulty (thickness >10 mm, very complicated geometry or stainless-steel parts) these “standard chlorine-free oils” were not strong enough.
