HP Drawmet 44 is a premium metal drawing compound formulated for medium to heavy-duty wire and tube drawing operations, as well as forming, spinning, and other metalworking processes involving carbon steels and non-ferrous metals. Designed for superior performance, it ensures smooth metal flow, minimal friction, and excellent surface finish during demanding forming applications. This non-staining, water-soluble cream-colored paste is suitable for both “dry-on” and emulsion-type applications. It is manufactured with a balanced blend of soaps and fats, providing strong film strength and consistent lubrication even under high pressure and elevated temperatures. The compound forms a uniform lubricating film that prevents metal-to-metal contact, reducing die wear and wire breakage. HP Drawmet 44 is recommended for use in deep drawing, wire drawing, and spinning applications, with a typical dilution ratio of 1–5% with water, depending on wire gauge and operating conditions. Its excellent cooling properties and film stability make it a reliable choice for achieving high productivity, improved surface quality, and longer tool life.
