Metal
working compounds have long been an industry into which our rosin
oils go. Mobile Rosin Oil is one
of the last, if not the LAST,
producer of "true" rosin oils. These products are
manufactured by the destructive distillation of rosin. As the process
is completed, a semi-viscous liquid is produced from hard rosin.
This resulting rosin oil is 100% rosin based - no fatty acids, solvents, tall oils or any other type of adulterant.
This is an important distinction to make when assessing a rosin oil
versus some other kind of fatty acid, tall oil, or combination blend.
These types of rosin oils are used as components
in metal working, or "drawing compounds". We do not manufacture
these compounds but sell our rosin oils to those who do.
Those who produce metal working compounds have
long been large users of rosin oil as a major component. We understand
that the
lubricating
and protective qualities it imparts to the metal as it is stamped
and shaped is desirable and superior to other products, which
have been tried in the past. These rosin oils are non-hazardous and
are environmentally friendly which makes this family of materials
more
desirable.
Related to metal-working compounds are the production
of rosin and rosin oil soaps which are used in various aspects of
metal working.
Our line or rosin soaps have found extensive use as emulsifiers in
soluble oils.
Even though we classify ourselves as a custom manufacturer, we do
inventory a variety of base products, which serve the Metal Working
Industry. Our base products are:
