Alumol is a range of high performance lubricants specifically developed for the drawing of aluminium and aluminium alloy wire. All of the products in the Alumol range contain an optimised combination of natural and synthetic lubricity additives. Their high affinity for aluminium provides exceptional film strength to deliver outstanding surface finish and die life. The use of high purity base oil and the latest antioxidant technology minimises thermal degradation and significantly extends service life. In addition all Alumol products have the ability to absorb small quantities of water – preventing problems such as wire breaks and surface scratching that are usually caused by ingress of moisture. The products in the medium viscosity series - Alumol 80, Alumol 145 and Alumol 195 - are particularly suitable for drawing rod to intermediate sizes on high speed slip machines. The relatively low viscosity for products of this type gives improved separation of fines and aids pumpability. The higher viscosity grades should be used for more difficult alloys (e.g. high magnesium content) or where operating temperatures are higher.
