Wire india 2018
Although traditional lubrication techniques in
many instances continue to meet the challenges
of the industry sector, Metalube, having identified
processes where further innovation is required.
From the show the company will introduce new
products that further improve and compliment the
wire drawing process in two very demanding areas.
These are:
Lubricool 250B - a full synthetic wire drawing
lubricant for the drawing of copper and plated copper
wires on high speed multi-wire drawing machines.
The oil free chemistry utilised to formulate Lubricool
250B delivers the maximum levels of cleanliness
and lubrication required to meet the stringent
demands of multiwire machines, drawing down to
0.050mm. Drawing cones and dies remain free from
debris to reduce wire break frequency. This helps to
achieve maximum line speeds, ease of filtration and
biostability making Lubricool 250B an ideal choice
for this most critical of applications where machine
optimisation is essential.
Alumol 615W – a water miscible aluminium wire
drawing lubricant for rod, intermediate and
multiwire machines. To address the weaknesses
of traditional neat oil technology used for the
drawing of aluminium wires on high speed slip
machines, Alumol 615W is offered as a water miscible
alternative. Delivering significant improvements
in machine cleanliness and operator acceptability,
along with ease of filtration and cleanliness of the
drawn wire, this technology is particularly suited to
producers of automotive wire and the enamelled wire
producers.
Albert Molloy, Global Product Manager says: “Wire
India provides a great platform for Metalube to
showcase both the resources available in the region
and the latest innovations in lubrication technology
available, we look forward to welcoming visitors to

forming process. We are also pleased to introduce
COPASLIP, made by our sister company Molyslip.
COPASLIP is a high-performance compound
specifically formulated to protect fasteners from
seizure induced by extremes of temperature, pressure
and corrosion.”
