TechDraw FT TB-15 Tube Bending Fluid

TechDraw

Description:

TechDraw FT TB-15 is a water-soluble heavy-duty tube bending lubricant gel developed for drawn over mandrel tube and pipe bending.  The product has a balanced lubricity for use in a variety of tube bending operations by drastically reducing the coefficient of friction as it forms a high strength protective film on the applied metal surface; thus, producing good part finish and exceptional tool life.  For extreme applications, TechDraw FT TB-15 can be used neat, while also being able to dilute with water for milder applications.  It is designed for brush applied applications.
