of the emulsions reduces wire breakage while the additives package has been formulated to keep the machine clean, reduce foaming and increase the emulsion stability. This range also offers specific products for high temperature wires (silver, tin or nickel plated copper wires): synthetic based formulations which reduce the build-up of particles that can cause wire breakage, and soluble emulsions which offer high lubricating power for the more demanding drawing of nickel coated wires. Specific cooling synthetic solutions are also available. They provide cleaner wire surfaces, optimum metallurgical properties and good corrosion protection for the annealing cabinet. A full range of complementary products helps in the management of the bath. This includes products to clean installations, bath maintenance additives

For aluminium wire drawing, Vicalfilm TFA neat oils range has been designed to offer both low residues and extended operating life. Its specifically formulated additives package minimises thermal oxidation, maintaining longer lubricant performance. The bath life is increased and thus reduces maintenance costs. Thanks to their low viscosity, Vicafil TFA 1167 and Vicafil TFA 1460 reduce lubricant consumption whilst offering high lubricity. These formulations are suitable from the rod breakdown to the final wire drawing operations. Condat also offers a range of stranding lubricants leaving very low residues and offering perfect compatibility with the subsequent plastic extrusion processes: perfect adhesion and no bubbling. For the drawing of bare copper wires, Vicafilm TCU concentrated soluble lubricants provide consistent and reliable performance. The high lubricity
