Kemlube - 1551
Product
description
Kemlube 1551 is a drawing lubricant with very high film strength and
is used on cold extrusion and cold operation. It is applied by dip
process on the metallic surface which has been properly bonderized. It
reacts with Kemphos-825 coating, forming a lubricant layer, which helps
in cold forming of metal and retards the formation of rust.

Product Operating Procedure
Concentration
of Kemlube-1551 solution may range from 3 -15% depending upon the
end operation. Extrusion operation generally requires more
concentration than tube-drawing, wire drawing or deep drawing but the
optimum concentration is best determined experimentally.
Before
using the lubricant determine the free acidity according to method
given below. If this is outside th range adjust it by adding required
amount of caustic soda or sulphuric acid.
The
treatment consists of dipping the job which have been bonderized and
properly rinsed in Kemlube-1551 at 60-80° C 4 5 mts to
permit the lubricant to penetrate and react with coating. The
temperature at which Kemlube-1551 is operating should not be allowed
to vary more than ±20°C.
The temperature is established for each project and generally is in
the range of 60 70°c. It drainage is a problem because of
the shape of components the upper range is advisable.
Product Application Equipment
Kemlube-1551
tank should be fabricated with 3 to 4 mm thick M.S. Plates with
continuous current heating system.
Testing and Control Procedure
Sample
taken from the hot lubricatly bath may be analyzed immediately. If
it is allowed to cool it will become thick and must be repeated for
analysis.
Free
Acidity
Take
100 ml of Kemlube-1551 from bath. Transfer 10 ml to conical flask.
Add 200 ml of (ISOPROPANOL with 2 3 drop of phenolphthalein ).
Heat to boiling when still hot titrate against N/10 sodium Hydroxide
to a permanent pink colour N/10 NaoH used will give free acidity. It
should be 0 1.00 mls.
Chemical Replenishment
If free acidity is more than 1.00. Add 200 gms of caustic soda
(Dissolved in water) in 1000 litres of solution. This will lower the
F.A. By 0.5 m.
Safety Measures
Kemlube-1551 is a highly alkaline
material. Direct contact can cause burns to eyes and skin, therefore use adequate
ventilation. Avoid breathing vapour or mist, do not take internally.
In case of contact, immediately wash
eyes or skin with plenty of water for at lease 15 minutes. Get medical
attention remove contaminated clothing and shoes, wash them before
re-use. If swallowed, wash out mouth with water. Give several gears of
water to drink followed by milk of magnesia. Incas of severe exposure
get medical attention.
