Maturity stage
TRL 9 / CRI 3-4 - Commercial Scale Up / Multiple commercial Applications
The metal forming/working industries are totally dependent on the mineral oils, obtained from crude oil by distillation processes, to ensure the success of the forming operations. AFULudine is offering today a new way to design these metal forming operations. Indeed, acting as a surface treatment by using non-toxic molecules having excellent tribological properties, it is now possible for the user to re-design production processes to converge towards a simpler (e.g. suppression of the degreasing step, simplification of the water management, etc..), safer and efficient process, with higher productivity and zero risks for the environment. This solution provides a non-toxic, lower environmental-impact solution for industry.
The Environmental Benefits
- •10kg of AFU[x] powder is equivalent to 1t of mineral oil (liquid)
- •Reduction of 100% of the water used for the degreasing step (in case of suppression)
- •Significant reduction of the CO2 emissions over product lifetime vs. mineral oils
The Financial Benefits
- •At least €50 of savings per litre of lubricant (suppression of the degreasing step)
- •Decrease of packaging, electricity and transport costs
