Alumol™ our high-performance wire-drawing lubricants for pure aluminium and aluminium alloys

Introducing Alumol™: the pinnacle of lubrication technology tailored for the intricate process of drawing aluminium and aluminium alloy wire.

Crafted through a meticulously balanced blend of natural and synthetic additives, Alumol™ enhances the efficiency of wire drawing machines and significantly elevates their operational performance.

At the heart of Alumol™ lies its unparalleled affinity with aluminium, ensuring a robust protective film that delivers outstanding surface quality and prolongs die lifespan.

Each formulation uses high-purity base oils and the latest antioxidant technology, which minimises thermal degradation and extends service life.

Thanks to all Alumol™ products possessing the ability to absorb small quantities of water it prevents problems such as wire breaks and surface scratching that are usually caused by an ingress of moisture.

Experience and results have shown that Alumol™ wire drawing lubricants will deliver maximum benefits when used with Alumol™ VRX additive and a Filtermet centrifugal filtration system.

Overall, Alumol™ reduces wire breaks, significantly extends service life, increases machine uptime and lowers overall costs. A simple way to improve the production efficiency of any aluminium wire drawing process.
