Tube Bending Lube B-LubeQT

B-Lube is a synthetic gel formulated as a lubricant for bending tubes and pipes. This pipe bending oil forms a high-strength lubricating film on the mandrel and ID of the tube that will not slump or runoff, even under high temperatures. B-Lube was developed for bending and end-forming automotive exhaust tubing. It is recommended for use on steel, stainless steel, 409 SS, and 409 aluminized 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.
