ORAFOR®
ORAFOR® is the line of water-based synthetic lubricants developed by CONDAT for tool lubrication in hot and warm forging processes. Its graphite-free formulation provides excellent adhesion on hot surfaces, low residue generation and a cleaner working environment, while maintaining reliable performance in continuous production operations.
The range is designed for medium-complexity forging operations that require efficient lubrication, easy tool cleaning and a stable lubricant film at high temperatures. Its ammonia-, phosphate- and heavy-metal-free formulations help reduce toxic fumes and make tooling maintenance easier.

| Function | Main function |
|---|---|
| High-temperature lubrication | Forms a stable lubricant film that protects tooling during hot and warm forging operations. |
| Tooling protection | Promotes lubricant adhesion on hot surfaces and reduces residue build-up on dies. |
| Clean operation | Its synthetic formulation minimizes toxic fumes and makes cleaning tools and equipment easier. |
