Complete solution for all applications
Next to thorough guidance, advice and support, Q8Oils offers a lubrication solution for any need in the industry. Examples of our solutions are:
Copper wire drawing
The copper wire drawing lubricants are formulated to provide the optimum balance of lubrication and cleanliness. This balance provides greater die and capstan protection, long emulsion life and consistent production eliminating manufacturing downtime.
Annealing fluid
Annealer Fluid LF is a fully synthetic, water-soluble additive that is entirely free from mineral oil and conventional fatty soaps. It is recommended for use in the cooling water of continuous annealers for both plain and tinned copper wire production.
Aluminium wire drawing
We provide a range of products for the drawing of Aluminium and Aluminium alloys, suitable for slip, limited slip and non-slip drawing applications in high and slow speed wire drawing machines. Lubricants for the drawing of Single or Twin Rod, Intermediate, Fine and Super Fine applications are available and these provide benefits of long lubricant life and enhanced brightness of the drawn aluminium. Within our range we can offer options to our customers, either to use a NEAT or SOLUBLE OIL for the drawing applications.
