TechDraw FT 400 Body-in-White Approved Drawing Compound
TechDraw FT 400 series is an OEM approved Body-in-White drawing compound. TechDraw FT 400’s unique formulation is used where clean surfaces are required for subsequent operations such as welding, painting or plating. TechDraw FT 400's extreme pressure properties will extend die tool and coating life. TechDraw FT 400 can be used neat in severe operations (such as extruding) or diluted up to 20:1 with water for lighter duty operations. OEM approvals run at a dilution range of 5-10%. TechDraw FT 400 may be applied to all coated or non-coated CRS, HRS, HSS, HSLA, SS, Aluminum and Dual Phase substrates.
TechDraw FT 305 Synthetic Drawing Compound
TechDraw FT 305 is a heavy – duty synthetic drawing / stamping compound concentrate is formulated with extreme pressure additives which will reduce part gulling and fracturing and increase die tooling and coating life. TechDraw FT 305’s unique low-foaming formulation does not contain chlorine, sulfur, oil, or pigments and is easily removed where clean surfaces are required in subsequent operations such as welding. TechDraw FT 305 can be used neat or diluted as low as 20:1 in water depending on the substrate and severity of the application. TechDraw FT 305 will perform on CRS, HRS, HSS, HSLA, SS, Aluminum and Dual Phase substrates.
TechDraw FT 403 Heavy Duty Drawing Compound
TechDraw FT 403 is a heavy-duty drawing compound formulated to perform a wide range of operations. TechDraw FT 403's extreme pressure additives allow forming of the most severe operations on ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, reducing part galling and cracking while increasing die tooling and coating life. TechDraw FT 403’s unique formulation is easily removed with alkaline cleaners where clean surfaces are required in subsequent operations such as welding and painting. Depending on the substrate and severity of the application, TechDraw FT 403 can be used neat in severe operations such as fine blanking and extruding, or diluted from 20:1 down to 10:1 to form a stable emulsion for medium- to light-duty stamping.
TechDraw FT 501 Non-Chlorinated Heavy Duty Drawing Compound
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.
TechDraw FT 925 RP Fine Blanking Lubricant
TechDraw FT 925 RP is a heavy-duty petroleum-based metal forming lubricant. The highly compounded formulation provides superior performance on stainless steel, hastelloy, alloy steels, and high strength ferrous metals for both drawing and stamping operations. TechDraw FT 925 RP is designed for fine blanking as well as multi-stage forming, drawing and deep drawing. TechDraw FT 925 RP exhibits enhanced rust preventative properties for more demanding environments.
