Copper Wire Drawing Oil
HH-X360 is a water-soluble forming fluid specifically engineered for copper wire drawing. It combines high-performance lubricants, corrosion inhibitors and emulsifiers to deliver outstanding performance even under extreme drawing conditions.
HH-X360 is free of boron, chlorine and heavy metals.
Applications
HH-X360 excels in high-speed drawing of copper and copper-alloy wire, and is suitable for both intermediate and rod-breakdown operations.
Use Conditions
Concentration range – intermediate wire: 3 % – 5 %
Concentration range – rod breakdown: 8 % – 12 %
Product Benefits
Excellent health, safety and environmental profile: contains no hazardous aromatic components, chlorine additives, boron or heavy metals.
Flexibility: variable dilution ratios allow product rationalization.
High-performance lubricants and anti-wear additives maximize die life and provide superior surface finish, minimizing downtime and die-re-polishing costs.
Forms a high-quality, stable emulsion that keeps machines exceptionally clean, reducing downtime and maintenance costs and earning high operator acceptance.
Low-foaming characteristics boost productivity even under high pressure and high flow rates.
Outstanding filterability and emulsion stability extend fluid life and lower consumption.
