Water based McLube mandrel lubricants for flexible, rigid and bent/formed mandrel built hose, antistick coatings for pan cured hose products, and coatings for cure tape are available for in-house testing or customer sampling. Products are operator and environmentally friendly. Suitable for use in automotive, hydraulic, industrial, chemical and food hose applications. They are designed to provide superior mandrel ejection and removal of finished cured hose. Benefits include ease of mandrel ejection, low blow- off pressure, no pin holing, elimination of i.d. contamination, and improved coupling retention. McLube products are thermally stable and chemically inert. Antistick coatings provide superior hose appearance, improved processing and ease of application.

McLube has developed a new water based rubber lubricant. This exciting new product provides a durable, dry, colorless film coating that bonds tenaciously to the applied surface. It has proven to provide excellent lubricity, a low coefficient of friction and superior slip/stick properties. McLube can be used as an assembly lubricant, insertion lubricant and as a dry film lubricant coating on cured, uncured and extruded parts. Product is environmentally and user friendly containing no hazardous ingredients of any kind. Lubricant is thermally and chemically stable. Product will provide lubricity, stick/slip and antistick properties in one product. Being a dry film coating McLube water based lubricants will not attract dirt and dust like wet, oily or greasy lubricants. McLube is currently being used in the automotive, aerospace, electrical, industrial and medical industries.

McLube has formulated a new series of water based antistick coatings and lubricants for the processing of tires, rubber hose, belts, extruded profiles and rubber parts. Products are operator and environmentally friendly as well as being chemically and thermally stable. Can be used with cured and uncured rubber compounds. McLube products will provide a clear, colorless, dry film coating that will not contaminate the rubber compound or interfere with any post curing process. Products contain no silicone oil, powder, waxes or heavy metals. McLube water based antistick coatings provide superior performance, improved processing, ease of application, reduced scrap rates and supplied as concentrates, economical usage. Products contain no hazardous materials and are suitable for use on medical, automotive, industrial, electrical, aerospace and food applications. McLube water based antistick coatings and lubricants offer significant operational and performance attributes.

The McLube Division of McGee Industries, Inc. has developed a new water based semi-permanent release coating for synthetic, natural and silicone rubber parts and elastomers. Products are designed for maximum releases per application with no transfer or mold build-up. Molds will stay cleaner longer providing increased productivity. McLube semi-permanent water based mold release coatings are designed for the injection, transfer and compression molding of rubber parts. They have proven to be extremely effective with peroxide cured compounds, high filler content, and other difficult to mold compounds. Can be used with FKM, HNBR, polyacrylates, CPE, butyl, polybutadene, natural, neoprene, ECO, as well as silicone rubber. Products are operator and environmentally friendly containing no hazardous material. Product attributes include maximum durability, improved flow properties, elimination of knit lines and voids, increased productivity, reduced scrap rate, ease of release, elimination of mold build- up and economy of use. Products are stable solutions that will not settle, do not require mixing, have a long shelf life, and are chemically and thermally stable. Sample material and supervised plant trials are available upon request.
