NUBRIKON FH-1
COLLOIDAL GRAPHITE FORGING LUBRICANT
Nubrikon FH-1 is a concentrated synthetic/graphite hybrid forging lubricant. It was designed specifically to forge or extrude difficult ferrous alloy and some non-ferrous alloy metals. Nubrikon FH-1 provides superior metal movement even for severe extrusions or complex dies. The special synthetic binder system also helps to reduce lubricant buildup in the dies. Outstanding die life is accomplished by incorporating a unique blend of “metal-movers” and extreme pressure additives that produces an even, highly lubricious coating that can be sprayed onto dies at temperatures up to 750° F.
Nubrikon FH-1 can be applied by spraying or swabbing. Optimum results are obtained by using either an air or air-less atomized spray system. Nubrikon FH-1 is supplied as a concentrate and is designed to be diluted with water. Gently mix the concentrate before use to assure that it is homogenous. A good starting dilution ratio would normally be 1 part lube to 10 parts water. Add the water to the concentrate while mixing. Mix for 10 minutes after all of the water has been added. This assures that the mixture is homogeneous. Intermittent mixing of the diluted product is required. It is important to note that much higher dilution ratios are normally obtained depending on the complexity and severity of the forging.
