Chemical products and lubricants for carbon steel tubes processing

Condoroil offers a wide range of chemical products specifically designed for the treatment of welded and seamless tubes, as well as long products such as bars, wire rods, and wires in carbon steel. These solutions cover various stages of the production process, enhancing operational efficiency and the quality of the final product. The main areas of application include lubrication for cold forming, phosphating, corrosion protection, pickling, and metallization.

Cold forming lubricants

Cold forming requires lubricants that reduce friction and protect the surface during drawing, rolling, or forming processes. The CONDORLUBE range from Condoroil is formulated to ensure a high-quality finish and extend tool life.

CONDORLUBE RO 11: a reactive oil for tube drawing, ideal for cylinder production. Its formulation provides a clean and uniform surface finish, increasing tool life and reducing downtime.
CONDORLUBE LR 110: a synthetic-based product specifically for wire and bar rolling. With its high wear resistance, it ensures optimal lubrication and a more efficient rolling process.
CONDORLUBE FL 500: a high-performance fluid lubricant for cold forming. Designed for skin-pass operations on wires, it drastically reduces friction and facilitates deformation, improving surface quality.
CONDORLUBE DF 18: a wire drawing polymer that ensures high mechanical resistance to loads while maintaining constant and uniform lubrication throughout the process. It is used as a substitute for soap or, in some cases, as a complete treatment (phosphate plus soap).
CONDORLUBE W 1898: a reactive soap based on sodium stearate, ideal for drawing and stamping. It provides excellent wear protection and reduces surface defects, even on complex surfaces.
CONDORLUBE DRAW 14: a semi-synthetic lubricant specifically formulated for the cold forming of steel, offering optimal performance even under the most severe deformation conditions.
CONDORLUBE TR BT: a mineral-based product with synthetic esters, developed for complex cold-forming operations such as bar and tube drawing. It ensures excellent heat resistance and protects dies from wear.

Phosphating

Phosphating is a crucial process for creating a lubricating layer for drawing and stamping operations, as well as improving the adhesion of protective coatings. Condoroil's CONDORFOS series is nickel-free, offering eco-friendly solutions that ensure the formation of a uniform layer of metallic phosphates, improving corrosion resistance and the aesthetic appearance of the finished product.

Degreasers and dephosphating agents

Condoroil's degreasing products are essential for removing oils, greases, and other contaminants from metal surfaces, providing deep cleaning without damaging the surfaces.

CONDORINE SG 515 AL: an alkaline degreaser for spray applications, particularly suitable for heavy-duty applications.
CONDORINE SG 544 AL: an alkaline degreaser and dephosphating agent for immersion applications, ideal for demanding applications.
CONDORINE 897 AFL: a concentrated liquid dephosphating agent, designed for the simultaneous removal of grease, oils, soaps, iron oxides, and some of their salts.

Protection

For the protection of tubes and long products in carbon steel, Condoroil provides a range of products that prevent corrosion during storage and transportation, ensuring long-term material integrity.

METROSOL D 30: a dewatering protective agent with excellent anti-corrosion properties. Ideal for protecting steel tubes during transport without compromising subsequent mechanical or coating processes.
CONDORLUBE EM 10: a protective emulsion designed for the long-term preservation of steel products. This protective agent creates a thin, transparent barrier that does not alter the metal’s appearance.
CONDORHIBIT WP 1180: a water-soluble passivating agent free from toxic substances, used to protect metal from atmospheric corrosion. It ensures long-lasting protection without requiring subsequent washing.
CONDORLUBE TP 124: a high-performance oily protective agent, ideal for preventing corrosion during extended storage and transportation, including sea transport. It provides uniform protection on all surfaces, keeping the metal intact and ready for further processing.

Pickling

The pickling process removes oxides and impurities from metal surfaces, preparing tubes and long carbon steel products for further treatments. Condoroil's pickling inhibitors, used in conjunction with mineral acids, ensure deep cleaning without compromising material quality and integrity.

CONDORHIBIT SAFE S7: a corrosion inhibitor for pickling processes in sulfuric acid. It preserves surfaces and reduces the risk of corrosion of the base metal.
CONDORHIBIT SAFE SC 28: a product formulated for the protection of metals during pickling in hydrochloric acid. It maintains a clean surface and prevents corrosive attacks during the process.

Metallization

Metallization is a fundamental process for improving the corrosion resistance of carbon steel wires and ensuring a self-lubricating surface layer. Condoroil offers additives and innovative solutions to guarantee uniform and durable metallization.

CUPROCOND 67 L: a single-component product for copper metallization on steel, reducing the acid attack on the base metal, improving coating adhesion, and increasing corrosion resistance.
ADDITIVE SN: a specific additive for the deposition of tin-containing alloys, optimizing coating quality and ensuring excellent resistance to environmental stress.

With this comprehensive range of solutions, Condoroil supports manufacturers of tubes and long products in carbon steel, optimizing their processes and ensuring superior product quality while reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
