Description
Castrol Iloform™ FN 450 is a medium viscosity, chlorine and sulphur containing forming oil designed specifically
for cold heading operations on high alloy steels. It is a blend of high performance extreme pressure and anti wear
additives, in a fully solvent refined paraffinic mineral oil.
Iloform FN 450 is free of heavy metals such as barium.
Application
Iloform FN 450 is specially formulated for use in high severity operations in high speed, progressive cold heading
machines. It provides outstanding performance in the production of high alloy steel fasteners and in stainless
steel bolt and nut forming.
Not suitable for use with yellow metals.
Advantages
Formulated on solvent refined mineral oil. Does not contain hazardous aromatic constituents, or heavy
metals such as Barium.
•
Contains high performance extreme pressure additives. Maximises die life and provides excellent surface
finish. Minimises costs associated with die repolishing.
•
Excellent detergency. Removes metallic fines and particles from dies, eliminating defects associated with
particulates. Improved surface finish, reducing scrap and rework costs.
•
Excellent wetting characteristics. Reduces drag out rate, hence reduces product consumption. Easily
filtered in service, to extend service life.
•
• Excellent oxidation and thermal stability, extending service life.
• Low misting and fuming. Excellent operator acceptance.
