Application fields

Description

Through its expertise in the different aluminium sectors, CONDAT has developed oils for the lubrication of aluminium moulds, for semi-continuous casting of ingots, bars and billets in all alloys of aluminium and its derivatives: the INGOT OIL range.

Of either semi-synthetic or 100% synthetic formulation, the range of oils for lubrication of ingot moulds can be applied:

  • by automatic spraying,
  • manually (with a brush or roller)

The INGOT OIL range is suitable for use in all systems for semi-continuous casting of moulds, as for example moulds with integrated oil circuits (bars or plates), or graphite stick technologies (for billets).

Characteristics

The INGOT OIL range has the following characteristics:

  • excellent fire-resistant properties
  • low smoke, even at high temperature
  • excellent protection of the mould surface against oxidation
  • oil viscosities adapted to the lubrication system

Product benefits

  • Excellent surface finish for the aluminium parts
  • Reduction of maintenance costs (cleanliness of moulds, protection against oxidation)
  • Protection of workers (fire-resistance and low smoke)
  • Ease of spraying, saving time for the user
