Application fields

Description

CONDAT oils intended for drawing aluminium wires are formulated from bases with viscosities below 150 cSt to offer:

  • Minimum residue levels
  • Improved filterability with better separation of aluminium fines
  • Reduced consumption through reduction in drag out on the wires
  • Easy pumping

The VICAFIL TFA range contains selected additives to extend service life, thus reducing total operational costs.

Applications

The right lubricant for each step:

  • Rod breakdown drawing, from Ø 9.50mm:
    • Multi-purpose semi-synthetic oil for round wire in aluminium and aluminium alloys
    • High-performance semi-synthetic oil for wire and sections in aluminum and aluminum alloys
  • Intermediate drawing, less than Ø 1.50mm:
    • Multi-purpose semi-synthetic oil for round wire in aluminium and aluminium alloys
    • Fluid oil used for very fine wires or to adjust the viscosity
    • Highly lubricating semi-synthetic micro-emulsion, which can be used for drawing copper wires as well as aluminium. Very clean surface condition.

Product benefits

  • Extends bath lifetime
  • Limits oil changes
  • Reduces maintenance costs
