BONDERITE® L-FG RD 5 (also known as ACHESON RD-5) is a water-based, graphite forging lubricant suitable for a range of metalworking operations, including hot forging of ferrous metals. The graphite lubricant forms a uniform coating for excellent lubrication and protection from heavy wear and high temperatures. It demonstrates excellent release and wetting properties for improved die fill and release, resulting in better part finish. BONDERITE® L-FG RD 5 is delivered in a concentrate form that can be diluted with water. The concentrate should be agitated prior to and during the dilution process. The recommended starting dilution is 1:5 (product to water), but it can vary depending on application requirements and will need to be determined during production.
