INDEX

• For the drawing of bare copper wires, Vicafilm TCU concentrated soluble lubricants 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 in the management of the bath are available, including products to clean installations, bath maintenance additives as well as protection products for bare wires in order to avoid corrosion and extend shelf life.

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 and PC strand: wire dry drawing lubricants with lowor zeroborax (sodium tetraborate pentahydrate) – Vicafil Sumac 5 and Vicafil Santale 6 • For low carbon steel, wire to be gal- vanised and CO 2 welding: minimizing the use of titanium dioxide in dry drawing lubricants – Vicafil Decal 440 • For stainless steel spring wire and cold heading wire: products with new formulations in its range of drawing oils and greases so that they are not labelled 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 labeling possible. The show will also be the opportunity to highlight the company’s specific offer for electrical wire and cable, including: • For aluminum wire drawing, the Vicafilm TFA neat oils range has 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.
