Wire Drawing Lubricants

Nutech offers water soluble reactive & non-reactive pre-coating products for carbon steel and stainless designed to promote drawing compound pick-up. Wet drawing emulsions for ferrous & non-ferrous materials formulated from synthetic oils, soaps and mineral oil. Products are designed for use on copper, stainless and high tensile wire. Dry drawing compounds are formulated from mixtures of sodium, potassium and calcium stearate soaps with performance additives. Products are designed for use on a variety wire material grades and drawing machine

Pre-Coats: Water soluble mixtures for carbon steel and stainless with low humidity absorption characteristics that aid in soap pick-up. Formulated to increase drawing speeds and leave less residuals in the patenting process.

COMPOUNDS

Drawing Compounds: Products are designed for drawing carbon, stainless & non ferrous wire wire-drawing-powderproducts. Drawing soaps have good cleanability & less residuals after heat treatment. Coatings have been designed to protect alloys & ferritic alloys against corrosion.

NuDraw 212 is a sodium tallowate lubricant used for wire drawing as well as yellow metal forming. It is a water soluble granular powder and does not contain lime, sulfur, phosphorus or chlorine. It is designed for high or low speed single hole drawing for all ranges of ferrous and stainless steel stock. Applications include copper wire drawing, bright basic, plating wire and solid & core weld wire. It can also be dissolved in hot water and applied as a non-reactive lubricant over various metallic substrates for drawing and extrusion. As a wire drawing compound it can be used as recieved in the draw box producing a transparent finish.

NuDraw 219 is a free flowing; calcium based dry powder drawing lubricant. It contains specialized E. P. additives that provide superior lubrication with minimal usage, leaving the wire very clean. NuDraw 219 is manufactured under controlled conditions that insure chemical uniformity and low moisture content.

NuDraw 220 is a medium titer, high fat content, soluble soap. It is manufactured under controlled conditions that ensure product uniformity and low moisture. Formulated for low, medium carbon steel and stainless steel. Recommended for up to 10 holes on a variety of rod breakdown and finished wire. 

NuDraw 247 is a free flowing; calcium based dry powder drawing lubricant. It contains specialized E. P. additives that provide superior lubrication with minimal usage, leaving the wire very clean. The NuDraw 247 is manufactured under controlled conditions that insure chemical uniformity and low moisture content.
