A successful partnership with IBAK

Since 2006, we at Oemeta have been very proud of our successful partnership with IBAK, a leading company in the development and production of high-quality sewer inspection and rehabilitation solutions.

Currently, 28 IBAK machines are equipped with our metalworking fluids. This figure is a strong testament to the quality of our products and the trust that IBAK has placed in us for many years. Our metalworking fluids enable the efficient machining of workpieces made from materials such as brass (MS 58), aluminium (AlMgSi1) and stainless steel.

We look forward to continuing to work closely with IBAK in the future and achieving further successes together.


The start of our collaboration

At the time, IBAK faced the challenge that the service life of its metalworking fluids was only six weeks. Furthermore, the competing products used began to emit an unpleasant odour after three to four weeks. Another issue was the green deposits caused by copper leaching, which had a negative impact on process efficiency.

This situation called for an improvement in the materials used in order to optimise operational processes and extend service life.

Our solution: NOVAMET 760

Our collaboration began with the introduction of our ALUMET Al 900, which completely resolved the soap-forming issue and extended the service life of the metalworking fluids from six weeks to over a year. Furthermore, it eliminated the unpleasant odour that typically developed in competing products after three to four weeks.

In 2016, we introduced the further-developed NOVAMET 760, which extended service life to over two years and significantly reduced green deposits caused by copper dissolution. NOVAMET 760 impresses with its excellent material compatibility and is particularly suitable for machining sensitive materials. The product is characterised by high performance across a wide range of applications as well as low consumption, thus offering an optimal solution for demanding machining processes.
