Lubricants for Wire Drawing Optimized Compounds for Copper, Aluminum, and Steel Wire Drawing Processes

Available in dry, liquid, emulsion, and soap-based formulations
Suitable for fine, medium, and coarse wire drawing applications
Compatible with ferrous and non-ferrous metals: copper, aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and alloys
High-pressure lubrication performance to extend die and capstan service life
Formulations available for single-die and multi-die continuous drawing machines
Low residue and easy-to-clean compounds available for downstream coating or annealing processes
Biodegradable and low-toxicity options in compliance with environmental standards
Stable performance across a wide range of drawing speeds and temperatures

Copper and copper alloy wire drawing (bare, tinned, and enameled wire)
Aluminum and aluminum alloy wire for electrical conductors (AAC, AAAC, ACSR)
Carbon steel and high-carbon steel wire drawing
Stainless steel and special alloy wire drawing
Fine and ultra-fine wire production for magnet wire and electronics
Rod breakdown and intermediate drawing passes
Stranding and bunching lines requiring capstan lubrication
Wet and dry drawing processes across single and multi-wire machines

Selecting the right lubricant depends on your wire material, drawing speed, reduction ratio, die type, and downstream process requirements. We work with you to identify the most suitable formulation — whether you need a dry soap powder, a liquid concentrate, or a ready-to-use emulsion — and help you match it to your existing equipment and process parameters. Contact us with your application details and we’ll recommend the right product.

We supply a comprehensive range of wire drawing lubricants for the wire and cable industry, covering every metal type, drawing stage, and machine configuration. Our portfolio includes dry drawing soaps, oil-based lubricants, synthetic and semi-synthetic emulsions, and specialty compounds designed for fine wire and high-speed applications. Whether you operate a rod breakdown line, an intermediate drawing machine, or a finishing block, we can source the lubricant formulation that fits your process.

Lubrication is one of the most critical variables in wire drawing. The right compound reduces friction between the wire and the die, lowers drawing force, dissipates heat, and protects both the die surface and the wire itself from surface damage. Poor lubrication leads to premature die wear, increased wire breaks, surface defects, and higher energy consumption — all of which directly impact production costs and output quality. We help operations avoid these problems by supplying lubricants engineered specifically for wire drawing conditions.

For copper wire drawing, we offer liquid and emulsion lubricants that provide excellent surface finish and are compatible with annealing and enameling processes downstream. For aluminum wire and rod, we supply dry and wet lubricants suited to the specific friction characteristics of aluminum alloys. For steel and stainless steel wire, our range includes high-pressure soap-based powders and oil emulsions capable of handling the demanding reduction ratios and speeds typical of steel drawing lines. We also carry specialty lubricants for fine and ultra-fine wire production, where contamination control and low residue are essential.

Our lubricants are compatible with drawing equipment from all major manufacturers, including Niehoff, Syncro, Samp, Pourtier, and Henrich. We supply products in formats suited to both recirculating wet systems and dry application setups, and we can advise on concentration ratios, bath maintenance, and change intervals to help you get the most out of every batch. All products are available for international shipping, with documentation to support customs clearance and regulatory compliance.
