Manufacturing Technology

Working with Dutch company Lubo International B.V, WASI has expanded its range with a product that promises customers significant benefits in daily work – saving time as well as avoiding cold welding.

Whether it’s screws, threaded bolts, hydraulic couplings or special constructions, using WASI stainless steel connecting elements pre-treated with Lubo Lubrication means you can work more efficiently and economically.

The constantly low coefficient of friction of 0.12 avoids cold welding. Screws can be driven at up to 800 rotations per minute and can also be unscrewed again at any time without being destroyed. Thanks to its special characteristics, WASI connecting elements coated with Lubo Lubrication can be used in a wide variety of application, including machine construction, offshore assembly, shipbuilding, industry, structural engineering and civil engineering, as well as in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

A large selection of Lubo coated products are already waiting in the WASI warehouse. The range is constantly being expanded. Advantages of WASI stainless steel fasteners pre-treated with Lubo Lubrication include:

• Drive screws up to 32x faster.
•  Up to 800rpm instead of 25rpm.
• Automatic screw driving possible.
• Constantly low coefficient of friction of 0.12 (like steel).
• Precise torque calculations possible.
• Also suitable under extreme conditions.
• Resistant to fresh and salt water, weak lyes and acids (960 hour salt spray test).
• Suitable for all conventional temperature ranges
• No contamination on machines, tools or workpieces.
• Thin, insoluble film instead of thick, unmanageable lubricant doses.
• Nondestructive removal possible.
• Seized screws no longer need to be parted or drilled out or new threads cut.
• Screws can be reused.
• Safe for people and the environment.
• Fulfils the FDA requirements and is also approved for pharmaceutical and food plant.
• 100% natural, environmentally friendly substances and minerals with no heavy metals in accordance with ELV (2000/53/EC).
