Description
Copper has always been the metal of choice for conductor wires, thanks to its electrical conductivity as well as its mechanical properties, which make it easy to draw into fine wires.
Available in a diameter of 9.5 mm, industrial processes can draw it down to diameters of a few dozen microns. It is the natural choice for conducting electrical current across a wide variety of industries, such as:
- Power transmission
- The automotive industry
- The enameled wire industry
- The electrical discharge machining (EDM) industry
- The telecommunications and telephony industry
Our wide range enables the drawing and wire drawing of all copper-based materials at every stage of the elongation process. Developed to offer high performance and excellent stability, our lubricants are suitable for all production methods available on the market.
Applications
Our expertise in lubrication covers wire drawing operations for all stages of drawing, from wire rod down to the finest diameters.
The surface finishes achieved are fully compatible with high-tech industries. Our product range is used in the following application areas:
- Electrical wires and cables for low, medium, and high voltages
