Drawing on its expertise in metal working and machining fluids, Condat can offer water-soluble products with high lubricity power. Formulated from mineral or synthetic bases, our products provide the lubricity and cooling power to guarantee a very high quality wire.

Lubricants in the VICAFIL TCU range have been formulated to:

  • Ensure protection of machines and the wire against corrosion
