in 2011, Blachford corporation developed
and introduced a revolutionary technical
advancement with its low dust dry wire
drawing lubricants.
The first generation of these low
dust lubricants were sodium-based
formulations that were designed to be
more cohesive and adherent to the wire
than standard products.
Low dust lubricants are less likely to
produce nuisance dust when exiting
the die (feathering) or when cooled on
the wire and bent around a capstan
prior to the next die box, improving
housekeeping both on the machine and
in the facility.
Blachford’s low dust lubricants have
enabled many of its customers to realise
significant benefits including lower
observable dust creation, lower lubricant
consumption, longer die life and higher
drawing speeds.
After the successful implementation of
its low dust sodium lubricants, Blachford
began working to develop calcium-based
low dust lubricants.
Blachford introduced its newest
innovation – low dust calcium lubricants –
at wire 2016 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
These new beaded low dust calcium
lubricants are designed to reduce
dust generation during handling and
use through greater wire adherence
and lubricant cohesion, as compared
to standard wire drawing lubricant
powders.
initial testing indicates that in addition to
lower dust creation, these new lubricants
build a beneficial lubricant film that is
sustained better than standard products,
which allows for improved drawing
performance over standard calcium
lubricant powders.
