ESPON AN Anti-Nitriding Compound. ESPON-AN is used to prevent nitriding. GAS NITRIDING is a case hardening process. It improves wear resistance, seizing resistance, corrosion resistance and fatigue life. Quite often, selective gas nitriding becomes necessary. ESPON-AN-POWDER can be applied on desired areas to prevent nitriding.

ESPON-HF Anti Scale Compound is applied prior to heat treatment of metals. Benefits achieved are:

• Reduces scale loss during heat treatment and improves surface finish of heat treated metal.


• During steel rolling, scale losses can be reduced.


• During Hot Forging, cut weight of ingots can be reduced as scale losses are reduced.

ESPON-LSS is water miscible Hot Forging Lubricant. Benefits achieved through its use are:

• Increased die life by 60%


• During steel rolling, scale losses can be reduced.


• Zero Pollution as lubricant is water miscible and does not emit smoke.


• Economical compared to furnace oil.

As it is in paste form, it is to be used by dilution in water. The exact dilution ratio can be determined by a series of trials.

ESPON-RC Refractory Coating Compound is used to coat the refractory lining of furnaces. Benefits achieved are:

• Reduction in fuel consumption by more than 2 litres per ton.
• Increase in refractory lining life by 70%.

ESPON-TA Tapping Lubricant is used to increase tap life. Benefits achieved are:

• Increase in Tap Life by
• Improved Finish of Threads.
• Reduced load on Motor, leading to saving in electricity by 20%.

ESPON-DLO/V is oil based Hot Forging Die Lubricant. Benefits achieved through its use are:

• Increased die life by 40%.
• Ideal for heavy forgings where water miscible lubricant is difficult to be used.
• Reduced pollution compared to furnace oil.
• Improved surface quality of forging.
