speeds and guarantee long die life, even when used at low concentrations. They rapidly remove the film of lubricant present on the surface of the wire resulting from the previous dry wire draft to produce final wire with a bright, shiny surface. completely biodegradable, and their special formulation allows them to function on the latest and most up-to-date drawing machines with no strong generation of foam. The company’s emulsifiable lubricant Airprotector ® TS5 for skin-pass of ferrous and coppered wires forms an extremely light film of wax with strong antioxidant properties. This film allows the wire to run freely when coiling and subsequently uncoiling the wire. The maximum formation of ash during the combustion stage makes it suitable for the production of high quality coppered or copper free (CO 2 ) welding wire. The product contains no alkaline salts and is not an irritant for skin. It is also completely biodegradable, and has been developed without using substances such as heavy metals, nitrites, borates, sulphides, chlorides or mineral oils. The lubricants are

❍ Swiss Profile Booth JJ16

Swiss Profile, Malaysia, specialises in the manufacture of round and customised shaped wires, profiles and tubes. The company’s products are widely used in numerous industries as an alternative to metal stamping and machining. By cold-forming into shapes required by customers, complex shapes of various dimensions can be produced with smooth finishes and super-tight tolerances (up to 0.01mm). This method also ensures zero-wastage, as the wires are manu- factured to precisely fit customers’ specifications.

❍ Tecnovo Srl Booth G12

Tecnovo Srl, Italy, produces a wide range of lubricants. The company’s products for dry drawing of wires to be annealed or galvanised are designed to provide adequate lubrication to the wire, to dissolve easily in acid pickling solutions, and to contain no com- pounds that might cause oxidation in annealing furnaces. The new calcium-based lubricants Tecnolubre ® FM/102P and Tecnolubre FM/180X are able to function at high drawing speeds and guarantee long die life. They contain no additives that might cause the wire surface to colour during annealing or carbon residues to accumulate in the annealing furnaces. A slight residue of ash remains on the surface of the wire after annealing, which dissolves easily in acid pickling solutions. Features of Tecnovo’s lubricants for wet drawing and skin-pass or ferrous or coppered wires include excellent lubrication with low lubricant consumption, cleaning properties, wire runs freely during coiling and subsequent uncoiling of the wire, antioxidant properties for iron and copper, and low foam generating power. The new emulsifiable lubricants Sintek ® FL/22 – FL/29 for wet wire drawing also function at high drawing

❍ Teknodiam Srl Booth G12

Teknodiam produces drawing dies, shaped dies, wire extrusion nipples and component part dies, in natural diamond and mono or polycrystalline diamond. The clean, precise and constant profiles of the working parts (cone and cylinder) required for correct wire drawing are secured by high precision grinding to guarantee wire quality, long die life and high machine performance. The company also provides a reliable and prompt reconditioning service for worn dies. The drawing angles and the length of the cylindrical part are ground to the exact measurements requested, maintaining correct die geometry.
