Lucent’s water-soluble synthetic lubricants are designed to replace conventional mineral oils in certain demanding high-performance situations where the surface finish is important. The products are combinations of; highly molecular polymers that provide excellent lubrication, EP-polymers (Extreme Pressure) for increased bearing capacities needed during the extreme pressures of the manufacturing process, and surface-active tensides for thorough moisturizing of the process materials and corrosion inhibitors. The products are diluted with water before using, usually in a concentration of 16%.
A typical area of use is wire drawing at a steel mill, where the final pass on the drawing plate is with Lucent’s synthetic lubricant assuring an optimal surface finish on the wire.
