Company Overview and History
Freiborne Industries Inc. has been a provider of industrial surface chemistry solutions and services for over forty years, operating since 1976. Located at 15 W. Silverdome Industrial Park, the company is committed to delivering quality in all its operations, as evidenced by its ISO9001:2015 driven quality plan. This commitment ensures consistency across manufacturing, technical service, and logistical activities. Freiborne's primary objective extends beyond manufacturing premier chemicals to ensuring 100 percent customer satisfaction, supported by a dedicated and experienced R&D department that optimizes product system usage.
Product and Service Portfolio
Freiborne offers a comprehensive range of surface chemistry solutions tailored for metal-forming, paint pretreatment, and general industrial applications. The product lines include Process Cleaners & Etchants, such as the Freiclean series, designed for diverse applications like metal forming (aluminum, steel), paint pretreatment (spray or immersion), general process cleaning (multi-metal, alkaline, acidic, neutral formulations), plant and equipment maintenance, and formulations with corrosion inhibition properties. The company's Conversion Coatings & Final Seals encompass brands like Freibond (phosphate-free zirconium, iron, micro-crystalline zinc phosphate), Formcoat (zinc phosphate, oxalate), Freibornite (zinc, manganese phosphate), and Precoat (phosphate-free for aluminum), providing solutions for metal forming, paint pretreatment, and corrosion/wear resistance. Additionally, Freiborne supplies Metal Protectants and Corrosion Inhibitors under FreiGuard & Freiborne Oil (water-based, neat oil, emulsifiable oil, polymer-based) and Forming Lubricants such as Formlube (polymer, reactive/non-reactive soaps, graphite-free) and Formate (drawing compounds) for cold and warm metal forming.
Commitment to Quality and Innovation
Freiborne distinguishes itself through its consistent innovation and proven results, which translate into significant operational benefits for its clients. For example, the implementation of Precoat 1 technology helped a medical bottle manufacturer save over $350,000 annually by reducing tooling costs and improving part quality. Similarly, Freiborne's Formlube 407, a water-based lubricant, was successfully introduced in aluminum extrusion, leading to near-zero smoke emissions, extended air filter lifespan, and projected energy savings, while also making an expensive aqueous washer redundant. The company also developed Freibond T200, a single-chemical paint pretreatment that effectively combats flash rust, streamlining manufacturing processes and reducing costs. These case studies underscore Freiborne's capability to develop and implement solutions that enhance workplace safety, reduce operating costs, and improve overall efficiency and product quality.
