Water soluble drawing fluid

Water soluble copper wire drawing oil

On of the most popular diluted drawing fluid application – Wire drawing machine lubrication reduces friction, heat, and die wear while improving surface quality, using either dry soap lubricants or liquid emulsions/oils. Dry drawing uses powders (calcium/sodium stearates) for steel, while wet drawing utilizes water-based emulsions for non-ferrous metals like copper. Key maintenance involves managing pH, filtering contaminants, controlling temperature, and reducing tramp oil.

Proper lubrication extends the life of dies and capstans and reduces wire breaks, ensuring optimal production. Synthetic base water-soluble metal drawing fluids are ideal when your shop runs different types or drawing operations. The water-based solutions provide excellent cooling where smoking may occur, while the synthetic fluid provides superior lubricity for even the toughest and deepest draws.

Molylub DrawFluid series drawing fluids

Molylub DrawFluid are water soluble drawing compounds contain emulsifying agents that allow the oil to form a stable mixture with water. Molylub DrawFluid water soluble oils are divided into two categories, chlorine based and chlorine-free lubricants. Both types of lubricants form a stable mixture with water. Diluting with water reduces the cost and increases the cooling power far beyond that of a straight oil. Since these lubricants are mixed with water, cleanup of the parts and work area is much easier.
