We have extensive experience in the design of chlorine-free and chlorine containing lubricants for the most arduous tube bending and tube drawing applications with draw bench lubricants for reductions of 50%. We have advanced technology for drawing Copper Tube, Aluminium Tube, Stainless Tube, Titanium Tube and Nickel Alloy Tube.

We have an approved product for BAE Systems for titanium and aluminium tube bending replacing a very high performance chlorinated lubricant, our product was not only a chlorine-free drawing lubricant but gave enhanced performance on aluminium, and equivalent performance on titanium. Superdraw ELP has also been adopted by other aerospace companies as a synthetic lubricant for bending thin wall 3inch diameter titanium tube, and a modified version of ELP has been used in hot bending (400DegC) of titanium.

We have also recently designed a special coating lubricant, both in solvent deposited and water deposited form which gives extreme drawing performance when drawing inconel and other exotic alloy tube.

We can design products for specialist applications, where volumes are very small, or where off-the-shelf or existing products do not give the required performance. We work closely with our customers to ensure their expectations are fully met or exceeded, giving superior tool-life, surface finish, and reduced breakage.

 We can work with you to produce products which will meet your own exacting requirements, whether you require an ultra-high performance lubricant, chlorine-free lubricant, clean anneal lubricant, an easily washable lubricant, a bio-degradable lubricant, or an R134a compatible lubricant we can produce the product you require. 

 Fusible alloy alternative

Resin WS8 is a new technology alternative to high density fusible alloys for tube bending operations. Resin WS8 is a low density solid (~1) with a melting point of about 70DegC which can be used to fill tubes prior to bending operations. It offers excellent dimensional and wall support during bending, can be simply removed with heating and a special advantage any residue can be removed with plain water.  Data sheet for WS8

Sample products

bullet Tube drawing lubricant Cu5001: Excellent performance on arduous copper tube drawing. Used by major copper tube manufacturers in the UK
bullet Coating Lubricant CR:  Plastic coating lubricant for sever cold reductions on stainless steel and exotic alloy and titanium tube drawing.  Based on a non-hazardous solvent giving excellent operator comfort. Non-hazardous alternative to Hangsterfers P46.
bullet Superdraw ST4000P: Highest performing liquid lubricant for stainless, and alloy tube. Significantly out performs other chlorinated lubricants due to advanced additives, can be used for stainless steel, nickel alloys, titanium, zirconium etc.
bullet Superdraw PIB-S:   Water soluble premium aluminium tube drawing lubricant. Can replace current synthetic tube lubricants which require trichloroethylene or solvent degreasing. Performance is fully proven and lubricant residues are cleanly removed by annealing or plain water cleaning. It is chlorine / sulphur free and is ashless.
