New developments for safer lubricants at wire Düsseldorf

With 160 years of expertise, CONDAT’s lubricant range is recognized as a world reference in the metal forming market, especially for wire drawing processes (mechanical and electrical wire). Its VICAFIL and STEELSKIN range gathers together the widest choice of wire drawing soaps, surface treatment, neat and soluble oils, degreasing products…

At WIRE Düsseldorf, Condat will exhibit its new developments for safer lubricants for both operators and the environment, such as:

- For high carbon steel, Steelcord, Spring wire, Ropes, PC strand: wire dry drawing lubricants with low or zero Borax (sodium tetraborate pentahydrate): VICAFIL SUMAC 5 and VICAFIL SANTALE 6
- For low carbon steel, wire to be galvanized, CO2 welding: minimizing the use of titanium dioxide in dry drawing lubricants, VICAFIL DECAL 440
- For stainless steel spring wire, cold heading wire: products with new formulations in its range of drawing oils and greases so that they are not labeled under the GHS regulations and avoid the use of short and medium chain length chlorinated paraffins.

CONDAT proposes whenever possible low HSE impact technologies, using formulations with least severe labelling possible.
The show will also be the opportunity to highlight CONDAT’s specific offer for ELECTRICAL WIRE & CABLE, including:
- For aluminum wire drawing, VICAFILTM TFA neat oils range. They have been designed to offer both low residues and extended operating life. Its specifically formulated additives package minimizes thermal oxidation, maintaining longer lubricant performance. The bath life is increased and maintenance costs reduced.
- For the drawing of bare copper wires, VICAFILTM TCU concentrated soluble lubricants. They provide consistent and reliable performance. The high lubricity of the emulsions reduces wire breakage while the additives package has been formulated to keep the machine clean, reduce foaming and increase the emulsion stability.
- A full range of complementary products that helps you in the management of the bath. Including products to clean your installations, bath maintenance additives as well as protection products for bare wires in order to avoid corrosion and extend shelf life.
