Number of products in category is 5

WEDOLiT FW 1960

Soap for tube drawing operations

WEDOLiT FW 1960 is a water-soluble alkaline soap for heavy drawing operations of steel tubes. The product is usually used as an immersion bath (bath temperature 167 - 194 °F, (75 – 90 °C)).

  • The product is designed to react with the zinc phosphate layer (which acts as lubricant) to form a zinc soap. The zinc phosphate layer should be at least 4 μm (at heavy forming operations, e.g. cold extrusion, up to 10 μm). Due to specific additives, a maximum conversion of zinc phosphate and the drawing media occurs, which results in an optimal performance regarding degree and rate of deformation
  • Can be used in very low concentrations of 5 - 10% as an aqueous solution (tube drawing). The best results are obtained with water free media
  • Offers (in combination with a zinc phosphate layer) very high cross-sectional reduction and high drawing velocities – up to 100 m/min (steel tubes with standard cross-sectional reduction)

WEDOLiT FW 3500

Water-soluble, fully synthetic, good material compatibility

WEDOLiT FW 3500 is a high-pressure agent for hydroforming-processes such as internal and external high pressure forming of steel plates, with different surface qualities and thicknesses. The product can also be applied in different grinding and cooling operations.

Approved by “FF Fluid Forming“

  • Offers very good high-pressure properties
  • Contributes to a high tool life
  • Very good application stability
  • Almost free of foam
  • Offers very good skin compatibility


  • Recommended mixing ratio
  • Hydrofroming:  from 5 - 10%
  • Grinding:  from 3 - 6%

WEDOLiT FW 7651

Water-miscible, fully synthetic coolant for the whole tube welding line

WEDOLiT FW 7651 is suitable for the manufacturing of welded steel tubes. It fulfills the requirements regarding lubrication and cleanliness of the tubes and rollers as well as the corrosion protection of the tubes and the system (in a concentration of 4 - 6%).

  • Due to its thermal stability, the product can be used in the whole production line (forming, welding, calibration, sawing)
  • No emulsification of mineral oils and engine lubricants. Therefore, the application of an anticorrosion oil is possible (e.g. on the Turk’s head of the tube welding engine in the manufacture of profiled tubes)
  • Can be centrifuged without loss of active substances
  • Removable with organic solvents or alkaline industrial cleaners
  • A bright workpiece surface is obtained after annealing


  • Recommended mixing ratio
  • Tube welding:  from 4 - 6%

WEDOLiT FW 7661

Water-miscible, fully synthetic coolant

WEDOLiT FW 7661 is suitable for the manufacturing of welded steel tubes. It fulfils the requirements regarding lubrication and cleanliness of the tubes and rollers as well as the corrosion protection of the tubes and the system (in a concentration of 3 - 5%).

  • Due to its thermal stability, the product can be used in the whole production line (forming, welding, calibration, sawing)
  • No emulsification of mineral oils and engine lubricants. Therefore, the application of an anticorrosion oil is possible (e.g. on the Turk’s head of the tube welding engine in the manufacturing of profiled tubes)
  • Can be centrifuged without loss of active substances
  • Removable with organic solvents or alkaline industrial cleaners
  • A bright workpiece surface is obtained after annealing


  • Recommended mixing ratio
  • Tube welding:  3 -5%

WEDOLiT FW 7840

Emulsion for the whole tube welding line

WEDOLiT FW 7840 is suitable for the manufacturing of welded steel tubes. It fulfils the requirements regarding lubrication and cleanliness of the tubes and rollers as well as the corrosion protection of the tubes and the system (in a concentration from 7%).

The product is approved by Mercedes-Benz Group AG (formerly Daimler AG) (QSO 040305) under the name WEDOLiT K 911.

  • Due to its thermal stability, the product can be used in the whole production line (forming, welding, calibration, sawing)
  • Can be centrifuged without loss of active substances
  • Removable with organic solvents or alkaline industrial cleaners
  • A bright workpiece surface is obtained after annealing


  • Recommended mixing ratio
  • Tube welding:  from 7%
