TechDraw FT 403 Heavy Duty Drawing Compound
TechDrawDescription:
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.
