Condorlube TF 22 has been designed as an environmentally
friendly alternative to the current pre-treatment cycles which
use heavy metals, such as zinc and nickel, and anions such as
phosphates and nitrates.
Condorlube TF 22 has a dry-in-place formula and does not
require any rinsing stages, reducing
significantly the working cycle and
reducing close to zero the water
consumption and the need of the
wastewater treatment unit.
The new product also offers significant
advantages in terms of energy saving,
better cleaning of the work place and
less wear on equipment.
The components cold formed with
the use of Condorlube TF 22 can easily
be cleaned with a standard alkaline
degreaser, eg Condorine 500 AL series.
Lubrication properties are guaranteed
through a sophisticated production
process where primary and secondary
monomers, combined with special
lubricant additives, form a compound
of high molecular weight and structure
to guarantee lubricity at extreme
working conditions.
This polymeric compound, in synergy
with primary inhibiting agents and
secondary additives with buffer action
to pH, guarantees bonding of the
lubricant film and prevents oxidation of
the material during the drying stage.
This lubricant mixture is a one-step
chemical process. Once it dries and is
transformed into a tough and sticking
film, Condorlube TF 22 can provide
a durable lubrication also when
temperatures rise during drawing.
Characteristics of the polymeric
lubricant system:
• Long life of the bath and significant
reduction of management costs of
the lubrication system
• Low consumption compared to
traditional cold forming cycles with
traditional lubricants
• Elimination of drawing residuals
and strong reduction of the dust
compared to soap-based lubricants
