CWI’s molybdenum disulfide coating decreases the amount of friction as heading and extrusion forces increase. The harder you work, the harder the disulfide coating works for you. The copper-moly coating securely bonds with the surface of the wire. This coating has a shiny black appearance and is formulated for the most difficult cold and warm-formed parts. CWI’s Techcote™ is used in applications that don’t have complex and demanding conditions.
- Precoat: annealed and ready for heading or skinpass. This coating is used for simple parts.
- Copper Moly: skinpassed and ready for heading directly. This coating is our highest performing coating available, used for the most difficult engineered fasteners.
- Moly Supercoat: annealed and reading for heading or skinpass. Molybdenum acts as a lubricant.
- Copper Grease: annealed and ready for heading or skinpass. Copper acts as a lubricant.
- Grease: skinpassed and ready for heading directly. This coating is used for light duty forming.
- Techcote™ Soap: skinpassed and ready for heading directly. This lubricant is used for light duty forming for relatively simple parts.
- Moly Techcote™: skinpassed and ready for heading directly. Available with light or heavy moly. This is a soap coating enriched with molybdenum disulfide for extra protection while forming.
- Copper Techcote™: skinpassed and ready for heading directly. This coating is used for more difficult parts that require high performance lubrication. This coating offers light residual for anti-packing and low dusting.
- Copper Precoat: annealed and ready for heading or skinpass. Copper acts as a lubricant for moderately severe forming.
