TechDraw FT 501 Non-Chlorinated Heavy Duty Drawing Compound

TechDraw

Description:

TechDraw FT 501 is a heavy-duty, non-chlorinated drawing compound that is formulated to perform a wide range of operations on multiple substrates.  TechDraw FT 501’s extreme pressure additives allows forming in the most severe stamping operations on substrates such as: steel, stainless steel, galvanized, dual phase, aluminum, and aluminized stainless. TechDraw FT 501 reduces part galling and cracking while increasing die tooling and coating life. TechDraw FT 501’s  unique formulation was developed to be used in recirculated systems and thus exhibits excellent biological control, decreasing odor and providing parts and dies with a clean, non-tacky surface.  Depending on the substrate and severity of the part produced TechDraw FT 501  can typically be used at a dilution range of  20-10:1. On severe operations TechDraw FT 501  can be diluted up to 5:1. TechDraw FT 501 performs extremely well with in-die or stand alone tapping units and may be used on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates.
