VICAFIL TN 1630

New generation
Soluble sodium soap
New high performance
dry drawing lubricant
April 2009
Environmental legislations are constantly evolving; among the latest European
regulations governing REACH and the use of Biocides, The European authorities have
implemented a new classification, which aims at reducing the use of Borax.
For certain wire drawing applications and processes, borax remains an exceptional
additive, specifically for the formulation of soluble sodium soaps: binding qualities,
solubility and thermal stability.
In order to meet with the new regulation and to anticipate its next application, CONDAT
is now able to offer a wider selection of dry drawing lubricants without borax or
with very limited amounts of borax.
After years of research and thanks to extensive field testing (in partnership with leading
wire drawing companies), CONDAT has set up a new generation of soluble sodium
soap: VICAFIL TN 1630
This product has been developed with very low borax content (below the limits
planned by the European Commission) and provides improved performance, even for
the most severe wire drawing operations of high carbon steel.
This new VICAFIL TN1630 has been tested for one year by our customers and partners
who noticed:

Higher softening temperature range allowing to work at higher speed,
Higher adhesion on the wire surface, resulting in improved lubrication, die life,
and surface quality,
Reduced consumption due to the reduction of compacted black soap in the die
bock, improving productivity,
Reduction of dust on the wire drawing machines, giving a safer and healthier
environment to operators.
VICAFIL TN1630 can be used for high carbon applications wherever a high quality
product is required. Different granulometries are available:
•
VICAFIL TN 1630 X: beaded, large
• VICAFIL TN 1630 T: beaded, medium
• VICAFIL TN 1630: medium powder
VICAFIL TN1630 will keep the current labelling for sodium soaps, as it complies with
REACH & 30th ATP. The intent of CONDAT is to offer to its customers enduring products
that they can supply for a long period of time.
Beyond the performance criteria, CONDAT wants to associate the continuity
notion with its range of lubricants.
After over 150 years of existence, and thanks to the synergy of the CONDAT group in terms of
international structures and technical know-how, the Condat VICAFIL lubricant range is
known as the worldwide reference for the wire drawing market.
Thanks to a true spirit of partnership, CONDAT can now offer its clients innovative products
together with appropriate services.
