Heavy duty rod breakdown lubricants also suitable for intermediate sizes. Lubricool 22GX has particularly robust performance, across a wide range of operating conditions. Suitable for both plain and tin plated copper wires.

Bridges the gap between semi-synthetic and synthetic lubricants by incorporating technology from both areas within the product formulation. This innovative combination enhances performance particularly in more sensitive applications, where high performance is demanded, such as high speed drawing of fine and superfine wires on single and multi-wire drawing machines. Magnet wire production on horizontal and vertical in-line systems, as well as off-line systems also benefit from its use. Also suited to fine tin plated wire production.

 

Pure synthetic lubricants which form solutions rather than emulsions when mixed in water. They give excellent results when copper, tin plated copper, precious metals and other materials are drawn down to fine and superfine sizes <0.15mm. Drawing cones remain free of tacky deposits and wire breakages can be dramatically reduced. Sizes as low as 0.03mm are successfully produced. Lubricool 385 has boosted anti-wear properties to enhance performance such as increased drawing speeds and extended die-life.

 

The previous lubricants cover most applications for plain and tin plated copper wires. However, because of the diverse nature of business in some companies, and special local conditions, a number of other lubricants exist for special purposes:-

 

A versatile heavy duty lubricant used for copper, brass and fine aluminium wires.
An all rounder for copper and tin plated copper wire also used for drawing fine brass wires.
Predecessors to LUBRICOOL 318, still popular with many companies.
Designed for producing bright cold rolled, copper strip, sheet and rod. Also suitable for rolling aluminium strip.
Designed for use in continuous annealers where wire brightness and cleanliness are particularly important.
