Condorlube TF 22 has been designed as an environmentally friendly alternative to the current pre-treatment cycles which use heavy metals, such as zinc and nickel, and anions such as phosphates and nitrates. Condorlube TF 22 has a dry-in-place formula and does not require any rinsing stages, reducing significantly the working cycle and reducing close to zero the water consumption and the need of the wastewater treatment unit. Latest evolution of the lubrication process with waterborne polymers

The new product also offers significant advantages in terms of energy saving, better cleaning of the work place and less wear on equipment. The components cold formed with the use of Condorlube TF 22 can easily be cleaned with a standard alkaline degreaser, eg Condorine 500 AL series. Lubrication properties are guaranteed through a sophisticated production process where primary and secondary monomers, combined with special lubricant additives, form a compound of high molecular weight and structure to guarantee lubricity at extreme working conditions. This polymeric compound, in synergy with primary inhibiting agents and secondary additives with buffer action to pH, guarantees bonding of the lubricant film and prevents oxidation of the material during the drying stage. This lubricant mixture is a one-step chemical process. Once it dries and is transformed into a tough and sticking film, Condorlube TF 22 can provide a durable lubrication also when temperatures rise during drawing. • Long life of the bath and significant reduction of management costs of the lubrication system • Low consumption compared to traditional cold forming cycles with traditional lubricants • Elimination of drawing residuals and strong reduction of the dust compared to soap-based lubricants Characteristics lubricant system: of the polymeric
