The use of soluble oil emulsions for aluminium drawing is not a new application, however with newer types of additive and the performance that they provide, substantial benefits can be provided to the drawing company by using emulsions over drawing oils. Emulsions can be used for both EC and Alloys across all wire sizes from rod to super fine applications.

How to measure productivity in copper wiredrawing – Part 2
Lubrication consistency with newer generation copper wiredrawing lubricants can be demonstrated and proven with both laboratory analyses and in live factory applications. Under controlled identical conditions, product technologies can be cross-referenced and compared in KPI’s laboratories.
The importance of emulsions for Aluminum drawing – Part 2
The technical service and support for aluminum drawing oils to determine the overall condition and suitability for continued use, are routinely as follows.
How to measure productivity in copper wiredrawing – Part 1
Today’s global working environment poses economic challenges for manufacturers, making increased factory productivity a key for successful growth. That makes it important for companies to be able to measure productivity and understand what aspects are important to increase it.
The importance of emulsions for Aluminum drawing – Part 1
Within wire drawing there are ever increasing demands to be more efficient, a faster, more reliable, zero defect production to meet the demands of the current economic climate.
Microbiology of Metalworking Fluids
Micro-organisms can be defined as living organisms which can only be seen by the use of a microscope. The Microbial world is extremely diverse and consists of single and multi-celled organisms. Of most interest in metalworking fluids are bacteria and fungi.
