INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING  AND ELECTRONICS MAINTENANCE

Today’s manufacturing industries demands high performance industrial lubricants, greases, oils, degreasers and cleaners to ensure their equipment operates efficiently and smoothly. 

 With the recent global economic strain, people and companies are looking for ways to keep more cash in their pockets. The broad opinion seems to be that it is better to take care what you already have than to pay for replacement. Asalco’s expansive line of products is dedicated to maintaining and cleaning industrial, electronic and mechanical equipment and its components to keep them running like new.

 Industrial lubricants limit wear and tear of materials while reducing binding and friction. They can prevent corrosion, lessen electrical resistivity while increasing thermal conduction where applied. Most are suitable for use in extreme temperatures and conditions.

 Asalco’s lubricants, oils, hydraulic fluids, greases, and silicone demoulders are only one category in Asalco product groups. Within this category of lubricants many are available in formulations that may come from semi-synthetic, synthetic or natural substances. 

 Some of Asalco’s better known industrial products are LP-2000, JY-8, Smooth Slip, and Multi-5 to name a few. Many are Canadian Food Inspection Agency approved as safe for use in food processing plants.

 Mould releasers and mould agents are also sub-category of these lubricants. Asalco Mould & Die Saver, Mould Cleaner, Kwik Release, EP-Lube, and TFE spray are commonly used in the plastics and moulding industries.

 Asalco also carries biodegradable hydraulic oils and greases for use in heavy equipment employed in environmentally sensitive areas, such as in construction, mining and forestry sectors. These new products are becoming more and more in demand as environmental interest groups are lobbying for ‘greener’ practices in global construction projects and manufacturing.

 Most modern industrial manufacturing equipment is automated; or computer-driven, and therefore it is equally important that these electronics and their components be cleaned regularly and maintained. Asalco offers a complete line electronics maintainance products, such as contact cleaners, IPA isopropyl alcohol, silicone conformal coatings, dusters, electronic degreasers, flux cleaners, heat sink compounds, desoldering braid, and many other specialty products. Asalco is the Canadian Master Distributor for Caig Laboratories DeoxIt® electronics maintenance products.

 Companies are concentrating more time and effort on reducing repair costs and eliminating production downtime through more comprehensive equipment maintenance practices. For many industries, escalating production costs can be the difference between staying soluble and being competitive in the consumer market.
