CONDAFORGE®

Water-based graphite lubricants for hot and warm forging

CONDAFORGE® is the line of water-based graphite lubricants developed by CONDAT for hot and warm forging of ferrous and nonferrous metals. Its formulations create a high-strength lubricating film that provides excellent lubricity, adhesion on hot tools and uniform metal flow during highly demanding deformation processes.

The range includes lubricants for different levels of severity, from conventional forging operations to the production of parts with complex geometry and high-output production lines. Thanks to their graphite dispersion technology, they help extend die life, improve part release, reduce lubricant consumption and keep the work environment cleaner through ammonia-, phosphate- and heavy-metal-free formulations.

Main features
High lubricity for hot and warm forging
Excellent adhesion on hot dies and tools
Longer die, mold and tooling life

Lubricant functions
FunctionMain function
High-temperature lubricationForms a graphite lubricant film that reduces friction and withstands the high loads generated during hot and warm forging.
Tooling protectionReduces wear on dies, molds and tools, extending their service life and lowering maintenance costs.
Improved metal flowAids cavity filling, improves the forming of complex parts and makes part release from the die easier.
Clean operationReduces smoke, residue and deposits on tooling, providing a cleaner, safer working environment.
