Description:

Castrol Iloform FN 286 is a highly sulphurised, medium viscosity oil used for cold forming and heading operations. The high content of free sulphur enables the formation of a high strength molecular sulphide film at the point of contact of the metal surface and the die. This film reduces friction and withstands high temperatures of upto 1000 deg C. This protects the die from wear and provides excellent surface finish. 

Application:

Castrol Iloform FN 286 is used for forming large fastener plugs and bolts in heading machines where high EP properties are desired. It is also suitable for formation of ferrous metals and high alloy steels because of the versatility of its EP characteristics. It is also recommended for Stainless Steel Wire Drawing applications. It is recommended to be used in neat form and not recommended for use with copper or cuprous metals. 

Advantages:

• Better Lubricity package

Excellent surface finish 

Lesser rejection ratio 

• Enhanced EP Properties 

Extended die protection 

Good Die life 

• Better Temperature Stability

Longer life of oil 

Reduced costs and economy of use
