Steel Wire Drawing
Low friction and a stable soap film on dry drawing lines; surface quality at high drawing speeds.
Phosphate Coating · KİMSOL Series
Zinc Phosphate Coating Chemicals
A zinc phosphate conversion coating system that delivers consistent coating weight and excellent soap pickup in cold forming and wire/tube drawing. It extends die life and improves process stability.

Overview
A crystalline carrier layer on the metal before forming
KİMSOL zinc phosphate baths form a porous, crystalline conversion layer on the metal surface. This layer holds the drawing soap (Kimkal) and prevents metal-to-die contact during drawing and cold forming, reducing friction and wear.
Consistent coating weight
Uniform, repeatable forming through controlled g/m².
Long die life
Cuts metal-to-die contact and reduces die wear.
Excellent soap pickup
The porous structure keeps the drawing soap on the surface.

Benefits
Measurable process gains
Longer die life
Cutting metal-to-die contact reduces wear and lowers the frequency of die changes.
Lower chemical consumption
A stable bath and the right coating weight mean less consumption per unit.
Consistent coating and surface
Batch-to-batch repeatable quality; uniform forming and low scrap.
Line efficiency
Fewer stoppages and less rework; safe operation at high drawing speeds.
