DryFilm for Industrial/Manufacturing Applications
The Advantages of DryFilm Lubricants
Coating and Strippability Lubrication Products
The unique properties of DryFilm lubrication products make them ideal in coatings that enhance lubricity and antistick properties on conductor or insulated wire and cable. These DryFilm products impart a thin, nonstick film on metal or insulated wires for cable products and twisted wire in jackets. DryFilm lubrication products reduce insulation stripping force and provide nonstick abrasion resistance to twisted wire and lubricity for welding wire, wire forming, and knitting.
Advantages
DryFilm lubrication products exhibit outstanding lubricity and extremely low coefficients of friction. The patented polymer is thermally stable and can be used at temperatures up to 300 °C (581 °F). The polymer coating is clean and non-migrating, chemically inert, and not gummy or oily.
Wire Drawing Lubrication Products
DryFilm products are extremely stable and form a film on the wire surface for drawing. The product can also be used as a pre-coat to enhance the total performance of drawing lubrication products. One to two die-pass systems are recommended.
Advantages
DryFilm products will exhibit a clean, inert, low friction surface that is beneficial for drawing a wide variety of specialty wire products. Post-finishing or cleaning is not necessary in most cases. Die wear is minimized, and faster speeds can be obtained.
