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 CO2 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.
• 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.
2016 represents the 20-year anniversary
of Condat Corporation’s presence in the
USA, serving the wire drawing industries
across North America.
