Sustainability and Innovation in the Aluminium Profiles Sector: MotulTech Baraldi’s Commitment

Sustainable Lubricants for Aluminum Extrusion

Sustainability has become a cornerstone of the aluminium profiles sector, influencing every aspect of the supply chain involved in the extrusion process. Among the various elements of the production cycle, lubricants used during different stages have often been considered secondary, overlooking their potential negative impacts on the environment and operator health.

For over twenty years, MotulTech Baraldi has been addressing this challenge by developing innovative and sustainable solutions for extruder lubrication. Today, the company offers a complete and up-to-date range of products designed for every phase of the production process: from lubrication of the dummy block and billet to the butt shear, billet and profile cutting, as well as auxiliary products for the container and extrusion dies.

Water-Based Products and Environmental Sustainability

A distinguishing feature of MotulTech Baraldi’s solutions is the adoption of water-based products that are hazard-label-free and formulated with biologically sourced raw materials. These lubricants, applicable through automatic spray systems, are designed to minimize environmental impact while ensuring operator safety.

STAG 14M: A Revolution in Lubrication

One of the most significant innovations is the patented STAG 14M product, a powder that serves as a revolutionary alternative to traditional boron nitride-based powders. This innovative lubricant eliminates the risk of operator inhalation, prevents the dispersion of fine dust in the work environment, and drastically reduces the hazards associated with slippery surfaces.

STAG 14M can be applied in minimal quantities using the same electrostatic guns already in use, requiring no costly updates to existing equipment. The advantages of this solution are so evident that all companies that have tested it adopted it immediately.

Conclusion

MotulTech Baraldi stands as a benchmark for sustainable innovation in the aluminium extrusion sector. Its solutions, developed in collaboration with customers and OEMs, demonstrate how high performance, operational safety, and environmental respect can go hand in hand.
