Condat will focus on its aluminum wire
drawing lubricants range at this year’s
Interwire.
The use of aluminum is increasing in
the electrical industry, due to its cost
efficiency compared to copper and
its conductivity, light weight and
electromechanical properties. Aluminum
wires are now used in high voltage
power cable, magnet wire and in some
automotive wire.
Condat’s Vicafil
TM
TFA neat oils range
is designed to offer low residues and
extended operating life. Its specifically
formulated additives package minimizes
thermal oxidation, maintaining longer
lubricant performance. Bath life is
increased and maintenance costs
reduced. Low viscosity Vicafil TFA 1167
and Vicafil TFA 1460 reduce lubricant
consumption while offering high lubricity,
with a specialized formulation that
provides extended operating life without
the need for maintenance additives.
For drawing both aluminum and copper
wire, Condat has developed the Vicafil
TAL range. These water-based lubricants
also contribute to a cleaner working
environment.
Finally, for aluminum wire stranding and
compacting, Condat offers a range
of vanishing stranding lubricants that
leave very low residues while minimizing
flammability and reducing VOCs. Those
products are entirely compatible with
subsequent plastic insulation processes,
allowing perfect adhesion and no
bubbling.
