Drawing Compounds

Wire drawing powder & lubricants.

High-performance dry drawing powders and lubricant pastes formulated for a stable lubrication film, lower drawing temperature and longer die life — with a clean, bright wire surface after drawing.

Wire drawing powder and lubricant paste containers
01 Grades by wire

A grade for every wire material

We match the soap type and fat content to your wire and process — tell us the material and we recommend the right grade.

Low-Carbon Steel

General-purpose dry powder for nails, mesh, fencing and standard wire.

High-Carbon Steel

Calcium-soap grades that resist high temperature and pressure for rope, spring and PC wire.

Stainless Steel

Special-grade powders for stainless drawing with a clean, bright finish.

Copper & Aluminium

Non-ferrous grades that protect surface quality for electrical and alloy wire.

Welding Wire

Grades for CO₂ / SAW welding wire with consistent coating and drawability.

Custom Blends

Fat content and additives tuned to your line speed, dies and residue requirements.

02 Calcium vs Sodium soap

Which lubricant type do you need?

The two main dry drawing soaps are chosen by wire material, draw temperature and speed.

Calcium soap powder resists high temperature and pressure, forms a tough lubrication film and is the standard choice for high-carbon and stainless steel drawing — including rope, spring, tyre bead and PC wire.

Sodium soap powder has better solubility and flow, wets the wire readily and is often preferred for high-speed and fine wire where easy residue removal matters. Some multi-pass lines use a mixed (calcium + sodium) soap so one powder covers the whole process.

Not sure which to use? Send us your wire material, inlet/outlet sizes and line speed — we recommend the grade and fat content that gives the longest die life and cleanest surface.

03 Why FEM powder

Stable film, longer die life

Longer Die Life

Stable lubrication film cuts friction and die wear across multi-pass drawing.

Lower Temperature

Less heat at the die reduces pick-up and keeps wire surface bright.

Low Dust

Engineered for low dust and a cleaner, safer shop floor.

Consistent Batches

Repeatable formulation and export-grade 25 kg packaging.
