Rolling Lubricants - TotalEnergies Aluminum Rolling Competence Center
Aluminum flat rolling mill engineers value the interaction with rolling lubricant experts, supporting them to achieve metal quality and output targets.
For many decades, TotalEnergies Lubrifiants has been known for delivering Cold rolling base oils and additives serving the Aluminum cold rolling mills. Lubrilam S and Lubrilam ADD are used worldwide by many FRP (Flat Rolled Product) mills serving their end markets. A key TotalEnergies’ ambition was to expand the offer and service to Aluminum rolling mills by also becoming a true supplier and expert to the Hot rolling lubricants process. This ambition became real starting in 2019. Today, there is a full staff of senior rolling lubricant experts in North America and Europe, now known as the Aluminum Rolling Competence Center (ARCC) of TotalEnergies Lubrifiants. TotalEnergies affiliates and ARCC experts have been assuring the seamless supply of hot rolling oils and providing technical service to customers, supporting Tandemol, NOA, Vital Fluid NOA, and Noalubric technologies. New laboratories and blending facilities have been built for dedication to Aluminum rolling mill product manufacture and technical support. By the end of 2022, TotalEnergies achieved full integration of the newest lubricants production plant and laboratory investments which have been built in OsnabruckGermany, Valdemoro-Spain, and Rockingham-North Carolina-USA.
With the TotalEnergies production of Tandemol and NOA Hot rolling technologies, together with Lubrilam S, Lubrilam ADD cold rolling technologies, ARCC experts have the full range of resources to exchange and design alongside rolling mill customers to achieve desired performance and production goals. Add this to the wide range of industrial lubricants TotalEnergies offers, and we have become a one-point source for a wide variety of fluids and lubricants for the aluminum rolling industry. Well informed lubricant choices and expert advice from the ARCC concerning fluid maintenance along with best-in-class technology can mean significant reduction of consumption, better performance and longer lubricant life.
This fits especially well with the TotalEnergies corporate initiative to reduce not only our internal carbon footprint but assist customers in achieving the same. To this end, Arnaud Willems and Annie King liaise and engage the competencies of TotalEnergies’ energy experts, offering and supporting use of sustainable energy sources and reducing carbon footprint for aluminum rolling mills.
