HYKOGEEN 217
Non-water-miscible die lubricant, containing graphite
Description
HYKOGEEN 217 is a stable dispersion of pure graphite in a base oil with a high flash point.
HYKOGEEN 217 has excellent release and lubricating properties for use during the hot forging of steel and its alloys.
HYKOGEEN 217 is a cost-effective solution for difficult forging operations (extrusion) or other forging procedures where lubricants which contain water cannot be used.
HYKOGEEN 217 flows easily, contains no heavy metals and burns up leaving little residual ash.
Method of application
HYKOGEEN 217 is ready to use for most procedures. It can be either sprayed (using an airless spray gun) or applied manually, by swabs, brushes etc.
HYKOGEEN 217 can be diluted with oil for special forging operations involving non-ferrous metals. This diluted solution should be stirred regularly to prevent the graphite from settling out.
