Vanishing
Oils Vanish Oil: The lubricant that removes
News Fronts
itself from your formed parts.
Lamson Vanish Oils improve your stamping operation by eliminating the costly cleaning and disposal steps required with conventional oils.
Once applied, Vanish stays on the part through the stamping operation and then will evaporate. Within 30
to 45 minutes, your parts will be dry and on their way to assembly or shipping areas.
Unlike other evaporating oils Lamson Vanish is completely odorless and contains no harmful chlorinated solvents. And Lamson Vanish can be used safely on most sensitive finishes and pre-coated stock.
