OFFERING high efficiency and economic lubricants has always been a great challenge for wire drawing lubricant manufacturers. French company Condat answers this problem with its widely approved aluminium and aluminium alloy drawing oil, Vicafil TFH 1167, which was launched at wire 2014 in Düsseldorf, Germany, in April. This oil-based lubricant was developed with a primary objective of providing the best performance to preserve dies and draw high quality wires, but without compromising simplicity of use and long service life. Vicafil TFH 1167: • uses a low viscosity base oil in order to improve cooling but reduce consumption by minimising the amount of residue on drawn wire • includes a package of additives to limit the production of sludge, thus reducing machine maintenance and extending lubricant life. No additives are required during the whole product life. Using Vicafil TFH 1167 affords reduced bath maintenance costs, and thanks to its properties, it suits most drawing

operations and diameters from 0.8mm to rod break drawn. Moreover, it can be used in either immersed or sprayed type drawing machines, without damaging equipment. Condat – France Website : www.condat.fr ❍ Aluminium drawing oil Vicafil TFH 1167 from Condat
