Water-Based Graphite Forging Release Agent Superior Die Lubrication

Water-Based Graphite Forging Release Agent Superior Die Lubrication

Optimize your forging process with LubeKote 3009, a premium water-based forging release agent engineered for exceptional performance with steel, brass, and aluminum. Formulated around a graphite base suspended in a stable oil-in-water emulsion, LubeKote 3009 delivers outstanding lubrication precisely when and where your dies need it most – under extreme heat and pressure.

Designed for Forging Excellence:

• Unmatched Lubrication: Significantly improves metal flow, reducing friction and preventing galling for smoother, defect-free forgings.

• Superior Film Integrity: Specially designed to form a tenacious, protective film that clings to die surfaces even at high operating temperatures.

• Extended Film Life: Provides durable lubrication throughout the forging cycle, minimizing re-application needs and boosting productivity.

• Critical Die Protection: Contains advanced extreme pressure (EP) additives that actively reduce die wear, prolonging expensive tool life and reducing downtime.

• Clean Operation: Leaves minimal residue, simplifying post-forging cleanup and contributing to cleaner workpieces.

• Operator & Eco-Friendly: Formulated without harmful ingredients (like heavy metals or phenols), ensuring a safer work environment.

Key Product Characteristics:

Application Made Simple:
LubeKote 3009 is easily applied using automated spray systems or manual methods for pre-coating dies. Achieve optimal performance and cost-efficiency by diluting with water. Recommended dilution ratios typically range from 1:4 to 1:20, depending on factors like:

• Workpiece complexity and size

• Alloy being forged (steel, brass, aluminum)

• Specific forging temperature and process

Storage & Shelf Life:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ideal storage temperature range is 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F). When kept in its original, tightly sealed container, LubeKote 3009 maintains its effectiveness for 12 months.

FAQ: LubeKote 3009 Forging Release Agent

1. What is LubeKote 3009?
   LubeKote 3009 is a water-based forging release agent using graphite as its primary lubricant, dispersed in an oil-in-water emulsion. It's specifically designed for lubricating dies during the forging of steel, brass, and aluminum.

2. What are the main benefits of using this forging release agent?
   Its key benefits include excellent lubrication improving metal flow, superior high-temperature film adhesion protecting dies, long-lasting film life, low residue, reduced die wear due to EP additives, and a safer, operator-friendly formulation.

3. How do I apply LubeKote 3009?
   It can be applied using standard automated spray systems or manually for pre-coating dies. It must be diluted with water before use.

4. What dilution ratio should I use?
   The optimal dilution ratio ranges from 1:4 to 1:20 (concentrate:water). Start within this range and adjust based on your specific forging application, workpiece complexity/size, and alloy type for best results and cost-efficiency.

5. What metals is it suitable for?
   LubeKote 3009 is formulated for forging steel, brass, and aluminum.

6. How does it help protect my forging dies?
   The stable graphite-based film combined with EP additives significantly reduces friction and wear on critical die surfaces, extending tool life and reducing maintenance costs.

7. Is LubeKote 3009 safe to use?
   Yes, it is formulated without harmful ingredients (like heavy metals or phenols), making it safer for operators compared to many traditional lubricants. Always follow standard safety procedures (SDS).

8. How should I store it and how long does it last?
   Store in a cool, dry place (5°C - 40°C / 41°F - 104°F) away from sunlight. When kept tightly sealed in its original container, it has a shelf life of 12 months.
