TUBE DRAWING

Gruebb are expert at developing lubricants for drawing copper and seamless stainless steel tubes.

Ziedex 5001 is a proven copper tube drawbench lubricant. A cost effective product used throughout Europe. Ziedex 8001 is a synthetic drawbench lubricant specially formulated to yield clean copper products when annealed without prior washing.

Ziedex 5118 is a vanishing straightening oil used in copper tube production.

Ziedex 5170 is used to draw, form and stamp copper components.

Stainless/Inox tube drawing oils include our well known Ziedex 160 and 4000 ranges for seamless tubes that have been used in a major UK plant for 4 years.

Ziedex CR - is an evaporable product for extreme reductions. The newly released improved CR is called Ziedex CRX and offers extraordinary performance for a lubricant. The solvent is non-VOC and environmentally acceptable.

Ziedex 8019 is probably the highest performing stainless steel tube reduction oil available today. Besides combining the latest additive technology, we've also designed the product with cleaning plants in mind. Such that in-situ nano filtration in the cleaning tanks, can take out most of the chlorinated components making recycling and disposal of the solvent easier. Although our Solvent 120 is recommended as the best cleaning solvent for drawn tube, we're conscious that many companies prefer cheaper alternatives and even water based cleaning solutions. Hence, an on-going project is to improve cleanability even further from inside the formulation.
