Metalube, a leading UK manufacturer of specialist industrial lubricants, has announced the continued development and global availability of its Tubol™ range, a next-generation suite of non-ferrous tube drawing lubricants engineered to deliver consistent, high-performance results across the full manufacturing process.
The Tubol™ range is designed as a complete lubrication system for tube production, supporting every stage from initial billet casting and extrusion through to pilger milling, draw bench operations, cascade systems, spinner blocks, and final finishing processes including bright annealing.
Formulated using advanced mineral, semi-synthetic, and fully synthetic base oils combined with modern additive technology, Tubol™ products are engineered to perform under the demanding thermal and mechanical conditions. The range is suitable for copper, brass, aluminium, and other non-ferrous applications used in sectors such as air conditioning and refrigeration (ACR), sanitary systems, and engineering manufacturing.
A key feature is its wide viscosity index range, enabling precise product selection tailored to each stage of the drawing process. This ensures consistent lubrication performance from initial heavy reduction stages through to fine finishing passes.
Sebastien Mallet, Commercial Manager at Metalube says: “Performance benefits include extended tool and die life, improved surface finish quality, reduced carbon residue, and compatibility with bright annealing in inert, dry atmospheres. Our Tubol™ full manufacturing suite is designed for low-fume emission characteristics, helping improve workplace safety in high-speed drawing environments”.
Manufactured in the UK and distributed globally, Metalube exports to more than 100 countries and provides technical support through a dedicated international network and in-house laboratory services, ensuring product optimisation and process support for customers worldwide.
