Application

Germ-Allcard Aludra 3993A is specifically formulated as a lubricity additive for the lubrication of aluminum and aluminum alloy stranding applications. Applied as a shot to continuous flow, the product will provide residual lubrication within the compaction die. The product is compatible with any residual drawing lubricants from the drawing process. Additionally any residues following the compaction die is easily removed in the annealer and has no adverse effect to the aluminium conductor. Germ-Allcard Aludra 3993A can also be used as a lubricity booster in any neat oil aluminium wire drawing application. The lubricity package can be diluted with foreign material and oils, which decreases the lubricity performance, reduces the surface finish and shortens die and capstan life. By analysing the in-service fluid and calculating the level of lubricity additive, additions of Aludra 3993A can be used to re-generate the wire drawing lubricants and boost its lubricity performance.
