and the environment. The most evident consequence for the wire industry is the elimination of borax in the formulation of drawing lubricants and coatings. Most sodium lubricants and coatings contain a signi cant quantity of borax and many drawing processes are based on the borax coating. Pan Chemicals will be introducing the Panlube S 1500 sodium lubricants. These products are free of borax, nitrites, phosphates, carbonates and chlorides. They are safe and ecologically friendly,

and suitable for the high speed drawing of high carbon steel wire, steel cord wire and stainless steel wire. There will also be new pre-coatings on show such as the Pancover 4700 series, designed to meet the most stringent demands in drawing carbon and stainless steel wires.
