December 17, 2025 - FUCHS Lubricants Co., the world’s largest independent lubricant supplier, highlights ECO DRAW HVE1, an advanced synthetic forming lubricant engineered to meet the demands of today’s evolving metal forming industry. Representing an industry trusted sustainable lubrication technology, ECO DRAW HVE1 eliminates the need for mineral oils and traditional extreme pressure additives while delivering the same, or enhanced, performance even in the most demanding forming applications.

Developed for versatility across a wide range of forming operations, ECO DRAW HVE1 provides exceptional lubricity that can be tailored through dilution with water, making it suitable for applications ranging from light duty to severe forming. It delivers reliable performance across multiple metal substrates, including lightweighting materials such as advanced high-strength steels. The fluid leaves significantly less residue than conventional oils or emulsions, minimizing interference with critical downstream operations such as welding, painting, and cleaning. By improving cleanability, ECO DRAW HVE1 reduces risk of defects and enhances workplace safety by lowering the likelihood of slippery floors and housekeeping challenges associated with oil-based products.

ECO DRAW HVE1 is a fully synthetic stamping lubricant that has earned Auto/Steel Partnership (AS-P) approval for use on parts entering body-in-white paint systems, a distinction backed by extensive validation, broad industry adoption, and compliance with stringent automotive standards. It’s reliable performance across all Tiered suppliers streamlines production and ensures OEMs benefit from consistent lubrication throughout the supply chain.

Beyond its clean-running properties, ECO DRAW HVE1 offers superior heat transfer compared to oil-based alternatives, helping extend tool life, improve part quality, and reduce overall lubricant consumption. Customers who have made the switch report less chemical waste, greater wash system efficiency due to easier film removal, and in many cases the ability to weld without cleaning.

ECO DRAW HVE1 is a water-miscible, fully synthetic forming lubricant proven effective on a variety of steel alloys, including AHSS. Its clean-operating formulation also provides reliable in-process corrosion protection. Elimination of oil and the ability to dilute in water, ECO DRAW HVE1 offers a more sustainable alternative to traditional oil-based lubricants delivering both process and environmental benefits for manufacturers navigating today’s competitive landscape.
