Leading lubricants specialist, Metalube, will launch the latest generation of copper wire drawing products - Lubricool™ at wire Düsseldorf 2018. The new portfolio is currently being trialed at several sites across Europe.

These latest additions to the Lubricool™ range (Lubricool™ 33, 11, 319, 320 and 250B) are specially designed semi-synthetic and synthetic grades. These have been designed with the newest chemistries available to achieve increased performance in wire drawing applications providing:

• Longer sump life through lower interaction with copper
• Higher lubrication using oxidatively stable synthetic esters & polymers
• Increased detergency using specially selected non-ionic emulsifiers which offer more stable in high conductivity conditions

Global Product Manager, Wayne Thornhill says: "As a recognised specialist in the field; Metalube has a strong focus on product development and we are seeing fantastic results from the current trials. Noticeably, minimum wire breaks, reduced capstan wear and die life markedly extended. This gives our customers increased efficiency and cost reductions. We are more than delighted with the outcomes."

Metalube specialises in wire and tube drawing lubricants as well as protective greases for overhead conductors. The headquarters are in Manchester, UK, where the site incorporates offices with warehousing, laboratories and manufacturing facilities.
