BONDERITE® L-FG 137 ACHESON is a water-based graphite lubricant that provides excellent lubrication and release for high-temperature forging applications.
BONDERITE® L-FG 137 ACHESON (previously known as DAG 137) is a water-based graphite lubricant used for its excellent lubricity and release properties in a wide range of applications, including hot forging, non-ferrous extrusion, low-pressure casting, aluminum permanent mold casting, and as a chain, thread, and hot-zone bearing lubricant. The lubricant adheres well to various metals and demonstrates excellent wetting performance on hot metal substrates. BONDERITE® L-FG 137 is supplied as a concentrate and should be diluted prior to application. Typical dilution ratios vary from 1:4 (product to water) in extrusion applications to 1:25 in permanent mold and parting compound applications. Metal substrates should be heated to 200°F prior to application to ensure good film formation. It is recommended to apply the product using spray equipment; however, it can also be swabbed, dipped, or brushed.
