LUBRICOOL AC
DESCRIPTION
Lubricool AC has been developed as an additive for use in the water baths of
continuous Annealer. The special technology employed ensures multi metal
protection to both the annealer chamber and quenched wire, particularly suited for the
protection of copper and its alloys.
FEATURES
Promotes a bright, clean and protected wire surface.
Oxidation and discoloration of the wire surface is reduced in storage.
Maintains a clean and efficient annealer chamber.
Optimum surface carry over to reduce dusting and aid subsequent processing
operations.
Low foam properties.
Longevity in use.
TYPICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance - Hazy brown fluid
Specific gravity @ 20oC - 0.917 typical
pH @ 1.5% in deionised water - 7.5 typical
Conductivity @ 1.5% in deionised water - 125 MicroSiemens @ 25oC
Refractometer conversion factor - 1.0
OPERATING CONTROLS
For best results deionised or soft water should be used ideally with an initial hardness
of <100ppm.
CONCENTRATIONS
1.0 – 2.0% concentration is recommended.
0.5% should be employed for enamelled wire and tandem insulation lines.
PACKAGING
Lubricool AC is available in 1000 litre IBC’s, 205 litre drums and 25 litre poly
containers.
STORAGE
Lubricool AC should be stored away from direct sunlight and protected from frost.
Ideally store under cover at ambient temperatures 5o C – 35oC.
