Liquid-O-Ring 983 FORGING DIE LUBE is a premium quality, graphite-based lubricant designed for metal forging
operations. Balanced adhesive and cohesive properties serve to minimize wasteful drip and splatter. Quick burning and low smoking, Liquid-O-Ring 983 FORGING DIE LUBE provides proper lubrication without becoming trapped between the metal and the die. Liquid-O-Ring 983 FORGING DIE LUBE assists the flow of metal and prevents sticking without residual buildup. Some applications include machine parts, flanges, and pipe upsetting.
Liquid-O-Ring 983 FORGING DIE LUBE is recommended for use in hot forging of carbon steel, aluminum, and brass. It is designed for spraying applications, but can also be mopped or brushed if desired.
