UBRIKA 404 HEAVY DUTY FORGING LUBRICANTDESCRIPTION

LUBRIKA 404 is a very effective graphite in water hot forging dielubricant and release agent, especially formulated to be used on hotforging press dies. It was developed taking into consideration the main

operational parameters encountered in the forging operations, especiallythose where the piece being forged is heavy and complex.LUBRIKA 404 was conceived to provide good to excellent performancewithin a wide range of die temperatures and other variables typical of theforging operations.

Properly applied to the die cavities by spray atomization LUBRIKA 404will permit a smooth flow and release of the metal. Its coefficient offriction is extremely low.LUBRIKA 404 is smokeless, nonflammable and does notgenerate harmful vapors.

Its unique formulation makes LUBRIKA 404 to remain stable , even attemperatures that normally decompose the binder. The graphite, its mainactive ingredient, has a very high carbon content, low ash, microscopicparticle size and hexagonal and plain geometry thus permitting a verycontinuous and homogeneous film formation over the dies. LUBRIKA 404has excellent stability in automatic spray systems and central lubesystems.Specific advantages offered by LUBRIKA 404 include:

Excellent lubricity Superb release Efficient die filling Lower associated Disposal costs Environmentally friendly Uniform wetting of hot dies Extended die life Noncorrosive

Nonflammable

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Hot forging of crankshafts, connecting rods, steering shafts, piston heads

and most of automotive parts.PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

METHOD OF USE

LUBRIKA 404 is a concentrate and must be diluted with water prior to itsapplication to the dies. The dilution ratio has to be determined accordingthe weight, complexity, and operating variables such as die temperature,speed of the operation, etc. Also factors such as type of atomization

nozzles and characteristics, distance of application and time of applicationwill influence the determination of the most suitable dilution ratiorequired. The correct dilution is made by adding water to the concentratewith moderate stirring. A starting evaluation at 1:4 (product: water) isrecommended. Dilution ratios, however, can exceed 1:10 (product: water)

depending on the forging operation.METHOD OF APPLICATION

Diluted LUBRIKA 404 must be only spray applied to the die cavities.Handguns or automatic equipments such as reciprocators can be used forthis purpose.PRECAUTIONS

Reseal LUBRIKA 404 containers tightly to prevent contamination. Avoidfreezing.See Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information on handling,precautions and first aid instructions.CONTAINER SIZES
