INTRODUCTION :
Engineered for forming stainless steel and aluminum, Copper, Brass
Engineered for forming stainless steel and aluminum, Copper, Brass GENDRAW 3590 is a heavy duty, synthetic, water-soluble drawing lubricant designed to form brass, copper and other ferrous and non- ferrous metals. GENDRAW 3590 increases die life, improves surface finish, produces greater dimensional accuracy, and reduces scrap. GENDRAW 3590 does not contain chlorine, sulfur, phosphorus, or petroleum oils. Residual films of GENDRAW 3590 provide in-plant, in-process corrosion protection, do not interfere with welding, and are readily removed with mild alkaline cleaners at low temperatures. GENDRAW 3590 is completely biodegradable and non-hazardous. By varying the dilution, GENDRAW 3590 can perform virtually all of the forming operations in your plant. Forming operations performed with GENDRAW 3590 include stamping, blanking, tube bending, end- forming on tubing, ironing, cupping, and deep drawing.
