BECHEM Unopol FX 200 Next-Gen lubricant for copper wire drawing
The latest generation of the new semi-synthetic, watermiscible drawing lubricant perfectly combines the advantages of mineral oil-based and fully synthetic drawing lubricants: BECHEM Unopol FX 200 combines the machinecleaning performance of a full synthetic with the outstanding properties of an emulsion.
We call this the ideal synergy of synthetic and emulsion: a combination that also ensures excellent drawing performance, constant pH values, minimal foaming and easy handling when re-drawing. At the same time, it enables significantly extended service life of the drawing dies and therefore excellent performance potential for stable production of bare and tinned copper wire up to a final diameter of 0.10 mm.
BECHEM Unopol FX 200 is a high-performance lubricant that meets the increasing demands of environmental regulations, process optimization and process combinations. It minimizes wear, reduces maintenance and thus increases productivity.
The drawing lubricants of the BECHEM Unopol series are known worldwide for their use in demanding wire drawing applications and convince wire manufacturers around the globe. Thanks to intensive BECHEM development and research work in close cooperation with OEMs and users, they offer practical solutions that guarantee the highest quality and productivity in modern copper wire drawing.
BECHEM Unopol FX 200 fits perfectly into the BECHEM system solution, which includes lubricating greases, lubricants, cleaners and corrosion protection for the wire and cable industry.
