e’re uniting the best parts of mineral oil-based lubricants and fully synthetic lubricants in a semi-synthetic, water-miscible wire drawing lubricant for copper wire. This has resulted in the mechanically precise efficiency of a full synthetic lubricant combined with the outstanding advantages of an emulsion. We call it the BECHEM Unopol FX 200—developed in Germany, produced around the world, and available everywhere. This extremely dynamic synergy of synthetics and emulsions offers excellent drawing power while also providing consistent pH values, low foaming properties, and simple handling from the start. At the same time, drawing dies last much, much longer, and thereby provide superior performance potential for the steady production of bare and tinned copper wire up to a final diameter of 0.10 mm.
BECHEM Unopol FX 200 is a prime example of innovation born out of BECHEM’s intensive development and research work in close cooperation with OEMs and users. A practical solution was developed and tested with our partners. Even in plants notorious for foam knockdown, BECHEM Unopol FX 200 has performed optimally from day one. In some cases, a service life twice that of a competitor’s product could be achieved without any adjustments. Low foaming properties cleverly combined with excellent cleaning performance guarantee this.
BECHEM Unopol FX 200 was designed as a high-performance lubricant that complies with the most stringent environmental regulations, process optimization, and process combinations. It minimizes cracks and reduces the costs of care and maintenance, resulting in increased productivity. The world-renowned product range for demanding wire drawing is perfectly complemented by the BECHEM system solution with a comprehensive portfolio of lubricating greases, lubricants, cleaners, and corrosion protection for the wire and cable industry. A holistic system is created that optimally meets the specific requirements of the industry.
