The Problems of Oil On Your Steel
HEALTH & SAFETY COST FACTORS • toxic fumes from welding through oil • skin irritation from exposure to the oil • accidents from oiled sheets slipping out of workers’ hands |
 |
 |
FABRICATION COST FACTORS • inferior welds from welding through oil • oil fogs the laser lens and plugs filters • oil on steel degrades laser or plasma performance, which slows cutting speed |
MATERIAL HANDLNG COST FACTORS • destacker jams from sheets sticking • replacing oily gloves 2 - 3 times a day • cleaning rollers, belts, conveyors to remove grime that comes with P&O |
 |
 |
PLANT CLEANLINESS COST FACTORS • oil gums tools, work holding, controls • more material prep to remove oil & dirt • more frequent wipedowns/cleanups or else grimy work areas and machines |
PAINTING PREP COST FACTORS • multi-stage paint prep needed to completely remove oil before painting • high solvents inventory - high exposures • paint defects (e.g.'fish eye') from oil contamination of rinse solution |

Absence of Oil on
Your Steel Stock
The Oil Film On Your Steel is considered a 'necessary evil' to prevent rust, but it has a cost – perhaps a greater cost than you realize. With no oil needed to prevent rusting, SCS eliminates the problems and costs caused by HRPO's oil film.The graphic on the right lists the many problems oil on steel creates for fabricators. SCS users enjoy FREEDOM from these problems while enhancing the quality of their products.
"Oil on the P&O we used fouls the shop and gets wiped off in handling, which invites rust. With its absence of oil,SCS is wonderful for our processes. "
