Products include non-reactive/reactive coatings, dry powder lubricants, oils, pastes, greases, rust preventatives, and degreasing products. The wire drawing industry is increasingly concerned about dust-related issues. With this in mind, Condat will present a paper and hold a training course on dust reduction during Interwire. Thanks to its expertise, the company will give technical guidelines for the selection and use of the most suitable dry drawing lubricants, the objectives being to signi cantly reduce the amount of dust generated in the workshop and to improve productivity, while also reducing total wire-drawing costs. Overall, the reduction of dust particles is central to lowering the exposure risk of operators and explosion hazards. It also reduces related maintenance costs and downtime.

Even today it is not uncommon to see a man or woman with a microscope and a set of gauge pins as the only means of die dimension control in die shops around the world. While the experience of these operators is valuable, their decisions when the bearing of the drawing die is concerned are subjective.
