Formulated from highly refined neat mineral oils and synthetic oiliness agents to stop die pick-up and deliver an impeccable, bright surface finish.
Drawing aluminium and aluminium alloy wire presents distinct metallurgical challenges compared to other metals. Aluminium is inherently soft, ductile, and highly prone to "pick-up" or welding onto the drawing dies under intense mechanical pressure, which leads to surface scoring, wire breakage, and poor surface finishes.
Water-based fluids can also cause immediate water-staining or white rust on aluminium surfaces. Prymol's Aluminium Wire Drawing (AWD) lubricants are formulated from highly refined neat mineral oils and specialised synthetic oiliness agents to provide absolute boundary protection and impeccable surface finishes.
A low-viscosity, neat-oil lubricant optimised for high-speed medium, fine, and ultra-fine aluminium wire drawing, with rapid circulation that keeps dies continuously flushed and lubricated.
Fine-Wire ChoiceA heavy-duty, high-viscosity neat lubricant engineered for heavy rod breakdown and coarse aluminium wire drawing, packed with boundary lubricants and anti-wear additives.
Heavy-Duty ChoiceFrom heavy rod breakdown to high-speed fine and ultra-fine wire drawing — each AWD formulation is precisely matched to the demands of its drawing stage.

A low-viscosity, neat-oil lubricant optimised for high-speed medium, fine, and ultra-fine aluminium wire drawing processes. It provides rapid fluid circulation and exceptional wetting properties, ensuring that the precision drawing dies are continuously flushed and lubricated. The lightweight formulation prevents the buildup of sticky aluminium sludges, ensuring that the drawn wire remains clean, bright, and free of residue during subsequent rewinding operations.
A heavy-duty, high-viscosity neat lubricant engineered specifically for heavy rod breakdown and coarse aluminium wire drawing operations. This formulation is packed with a heavy concentration of boundary lubricants and anti-wear additives that withstand the immense pressures generated when breaking down thick aluminium rods. It prevents metal-to-die welding, ensures uniform cross-sectional reduction, and handles high operating temperatures without smoking or breaking down.
Matching the formulation to the drawing stage protects die life, prevents surface pick-up, and preserves wire finish. Use this quick reference, or contact our technical team for a viscosity grade recommendation.
