A very important segment of the metal working industry is metal forming, in this process the metal instead of being cut or machined, is forced to flow to acquire the desired dimensions by the use of the suitable mechanical equipment. Metal forming process includes operations wire drawing. During these operations considerable amount of heat and stress and developed. Our WIRE DRAWING grades are tailor made to satisfy the various requirements included in metal drawing operations, the wire drawing oils are fortified with high performance wetting agents. This oils are especially suited for drawing of Aluminum/ Copper.

POC WD 80 is a synthetic ester based, water extendible, copper wire drawing lubricant, formulated for drawing of rod, intermediate and fine copper wire. POC WD 80 is the best compromise, as unique fluid to meet the requirements of lubricity needed in the drawing of 8-mm rod and the detergency needed for drawing the fine sizes.

 For Aluminum wire drawing POC WD 80 is used neat, with no emulsion in water, and it is useful to draw intermediate and fine sizes. POC WD 80 gives excellent finish quality on the surface of the wire and it is the best choice in drawing lines producing enameled wire. More so, it is possible to draw copper or aluminum wire in the same enameling line using the same product, neat to draw aluminum and emulsified to draw copper. 

POC WD 80 forms very stable emulsions with water of medium hardness showing excellent bio stability. We recommend to use water whose hardness is lower than 400 ppm as CaCO3, although the longest service life will be obtained when water of low mineralization like reverse osmosis or deionized water is used. POC WD 80 shows a low tendency to foam, may be used in other metalworking operations such us rolling, sheet deep drawing, cold forming, etc. The great heat transfer ability combined with the high film strength of POC WD 80 allows high drawing speeds, excellent finish and long die life, no matter the material of the die (diamond polycrystalline, hard metal or diamond). 

The emulsions of POC WD 80 are stable even at very high temperatures over 55 ºC, nevertheless we recommend that the emulsion temperature, while working, be lower than 45ºC
