Technical Data Sheet

Aqueous phase lubricating agent used during working by drawing of aluminium panels or during bending operations of shaped aluminium.
Used in aeronautics to work very thick parts under high pressure.

AIRBUS : IPDA 42-03
EADS CASA : Z21222

The product is ready for use and does not require any dilution. The thixotropy is perfectly adapted to an application by brush or roller; it facilitates close control of applied thickness to avoid excess application.

The film being deposited must be continuous and without runs.

REMOVAL

The removal of the lubricating film after bending or drawing is carried out by high pressure cleaning at high temperature or by dipping at high temperature with a degreaser such as SYNCLAIR A/C.

In bath: 60°C (140°F), concentration 5 to 10%. In order to increase the bath lifetime, use an oil separator

In high pressure cleaning machine (hot water or steam): 80°C (176°F), 5% at exit of hose. Recover the effluents and direct them to the water treatment station.
