NUBRIKON FS-1
   WATER-BASED GRAPHITE-FREE SYNTHETIC FORGING LUBRICANT

Nubrikon FS-1 is a concentrated water-based, synthetic type, clear, graphite-free ferrous and some non-ferrous alloy forging lubricant.  It is specifically designed to help forge extremely difficult ferrous alloy forgings including stainless steel alloys, inconel, haspaloy, and waspaloy.  Nubrikon FS-1 provides excellent metal flow dynamics and exceptional fine detail fill while continuing to provide outstanding part release from the die.  This unique graphite-free lubricant eliminates fire, minimizes smoke and improves the shop’s overall environment while reducing maintenance costs due to graphite contamination.  Nubrikon FS-1 is uniquely formulated to provide die lubrication when forming very demanding and complex parts.  These difficult forgings were only producible using graphitic based forging lubricants in the past.

Nubrikon FS-1 can be applied by spraying or swabbing. Superior die coverage is obtained by using either an air atomized spray system or a high-pressure air-less spray system.

Nubrikon FS-1 is supplied as a concentrate and is designed to be diluted with water. A good starting dilution ratio would normally be 1 part lube to 20 parts water.  The best dilution results are obtained by adding the water to the concentrate while mixing; continue mixing for 1 minute after all of the water has been added this assures that the mixture is homogeneous.  Continuous mixing of the diluted material is not required.  It is important to note that much higher dilution ratios are commonly obtained depending on the complexity and severity of the forging.
