ESPON-DFK3 Hot Forging Lubricants, Physical State : Paste

ESPON-DFK3 is a graphite-based, water-miscible die lubricant, proven useful for medium complexity parts in hot forging hammers and presses.

ESPON-DFK3 is graphite-based and miscible in water. It has proven useful in replacing oil as lubricant in small to medium complexity forgings in hammers and presses. In this lubricant, graphite particle size is maintained to withstand impact load of forging hammers and provide excellent lubricity. ESPON-DFK3 is to be mixed with water in 1:8 up to 1:17 dilution ratio, depending upon forged part complexity, weight and method of die lubrication. This die lubricant is preferred by hammer forge shops that have been using polluting oils as die lubricants.

 Benefits of using ESPON-EM3 graphiteless, eco-friendly, water-miscible forging die lubricant are:

•  Zero smoke emission as lubricant is water-miscible.
•   Reduced cost of lubrication compared with oil.
•  Increased die life compared with oil-based die lubricant.
•   Suitable for hot forging hammers and non-complex press forging operations.
•  Offers best results when sprayed using EP88 extra-pressure spray gun and SPS spray system in extrusion applications and complex forgings. Can be used manually in simple forging operations.
