Condat will focus on its lubricants range at Interwire

Condat will focus on its aluminum wire drawing lubricants range at this year’s Interwire. The use of aluminum is increasing in the electrical industry, due to its cost efficiency compared to copper and its conductivity, light weight and electromechanical properties. Aluminum wires are now used in high voltage power cable, magnet wire and in some automotive wire. Condat’s Vicafil TM TFA neat oils range is designed to offer low residues and extended operating life. Its specifically formulated additives package minimizes thermal oxidation, maintaining longer lubricant performance. Bath life is increased and maintenance costs reduced. Low viscosity Vicafil TFA 1167

and Vicafil TFA 1460 reduce lubricant consumption while offering high lubricity, with a specialized formulation that provides extended operating life without the need for maintenance additives. For drawing both aluminum and copper wire, Condat has developed the Vicafil TAL range. These water-based lubricants also contribute to a cleaner working environment. Finally, for aluminum wire stranding and compacting, Condat offers a range of vanishing stranding lubricants that leave very low residues while minimizing flammability and reducing VOCs. Those products are entirely compatible with subsequent plastic insulation processes, allowing perfect adhesion and no bubbling.
