inhibitors and secondary additives with buffering action of pH, guarantees the adherence of the lubricant film and prevents oxidation during the dry step. As a one-step chemical process this lubricant mixture, when dried and turned into a hard and adherent film, can also supply a durable lubrication when temperatures rise significantly during the drawing process. Characteristics of the polymeric lubrication system include long life of the bath and reduction of management costs of the lubrication system; low consumption compared to cold forming cycles with traditional lubricants; elimination of drawing residuals; and reduction of dust compared with soap- based lubricants. Condorlube TF 05 allows the elimination of the zinc phosphating process from acid pickling or sandblasting lines. This means a reduction on sludge removal, and elimination of the de-phosphatising process and of the residuals that can form in the thermal treatment furnaces. Process times become shorter and finishing of the drawn surface is improved.

Condorlube TF 05 is the latest evolution of the lubricant process with waterborne polymers. It has been developed in Condoroil Chemical labs and improved in close cooperation with leading manufacturers of tubes. TF 05 has been designed as an environmentally friendly alternative to pre-treatment cycles that use products containing heavy metals and anions such as phosphates and nitrates. It can be applied in carbon or stainless steel tube drawing, and the preparation of surfaces differs according to the type of metal. The system offers advantages in terms of energy saving, better cleaning of the working area, less wear on the equipment, and elimination of pollutants in water. Condorlube TF 05 is a co-polymeric waterborne emulsion with an integrated package of lubricant additives. Lubricating properties are guaranteed through a sophisticated production process. Primary and secondary monomers, combined with special lubricating additives, form a high weight and molecular structure compound that ensures lubricity even at extreme operating conditions.
