| T.C. 1881-LC |
DESCRIPTION
T.C. 1881-LC is a versatile, liquid drawing compound for deep drawing, stamping, blanking and other forming operations for all metals. Depending upon application, it may be diluted up to 50% by volume with water. It provides excellent lubrication for working metals, and has fine coolant properties to prevent die galling and metal-to-metal contact. By minimizing die corrosion, T.C. 1881-LC increases tool life. Since no gummy residues are formed, dies remain cleaner and require less polishing. If necessary, parts may be easily cleaned before subsequent operations.
Solutions of T.C. 1881-LC are easy to prepare and use and will not solidify, gel or separate upon standing. Readily pourable from the container, the compound will not clog automatic feeding equipment.
