Gel formulated for bending of large-diameter tube

IRMCO GEL® 986-00D is designed for bending tubing up to 8 in. dia. made from 304, 409, and 439 stainless steels and mild steels. It can be applied through the mandrel or manually by swabbing.

The gel contains no chlorine, phosphorus, sulfur, boron, or zinc-containing EP/AW additives. It also contains no mineral oil, pigments, clays, or PTFE.

The water-based product can be cleaned in conventional immersion, ultrasonic, and spray-cleaning systems. The thick viscosity clings to tubes to prevent dripping on floors and aids in subsequent end forming processes.
