Pipe Bending Lube - B-LubePT

B-Lube is a synthetic gel formulated as a lubricant for draw bending tube and pipe. It forms a high strength lubricating film on the mandrel and ID of the tube that will not slump or run off, even under high temperatures. B-Lubewas developed for bending and end-forming automotive exhaust tubing. It is recommended for use on steel, stainless steel, 409 SS, and 409 aluminum SS tubing. For bending aluminum mix one part of petroleum oil or vegetable oil based drawing compound to 2-3 parts B-Lube.

USAGE
B-Lube should be used as a concentrate for difficult bending operations. For lighter duty bending, it may be diluted up to 3 to 1 with water. It can be applied by hand or through automatic mandrel rod lubrication systems capable of pumping higher viscosity fluids or greases. It is important to maintain sufficient lubricant on the tool to keep it liquid and to prevent it from “drying-out". B-Lube is easy to clean in a mild cleaner.
