Description
PACIFIC COPDRAW is a non-soap emulsifiable lubricant which uses emulsifier and surfactant systems exhibiting low reactivity and biostable properties in the presence of copper. PACIFIC COPDRAW contains boundary lubrication additives which provide a low coefficient of friction.
Applications
PACIFIC COPDRAW is optimised for drawing plain and tinned copper wire of intermediate, fine and superfine sizes on single and multi-line machines, the product also finds application in continuous annealers at 1 – 2 % concentration.
Features and Benefits
Low Copper Reactivity Excellent cleanliness, long lived emulsion with high temperature and pH stability.
Biostabilty PACIFIC COPDRAW at use levels exhibits biostable properties, biocides additions are not normally required, this leads to lower maintenance and avoids microbiological growths.
Contains Boundary Lubricants Low coefficient of friction, minimises wire tension breaks, reduces capstan and die wear.
Low foam Product Suitable for mini or compact systems, enables effective filtration.
Performance Benefits
- Excellent cooling and lubricating properties
- Good emulsion stability and long coolant life
- Stable emulsion even in hard water
- Offers excellent rust protection
- Reduces machine down time
- Nitrate & Chlorine free hence environmentally safe.
Instructions to Use
To ensure the maximum benefits of PACIFIC COPDRAW and its biostable characteristics are realised, it is a necessity that all previous emulsion and copper sludge is removed from the system before introduction of the product.
PACIFIC COPDRAW performs well in waters up to 500 ppm of hardness but for maximum effectiveness the use of softened water make-up is a must. PACIFIC COPDRAW emulsions are prepared by slowly adding the concentrate to water with good agitation. The temperature of the PACIFIC COPDRAW and the dilution water should be above 10 °C before emulsion make-up.
