CHEMDRAW® 644 N DAG is a soluble dry lubricant for drawing ferrous wire after it's been galvanized. It delivers a bright silver finish on galvanized wire and is designed to provide improved rust protection.

APPLICATIONS

Drawn after Galvanizing (DAG); HDG or EG: CHEMDRAW 644 N DAG gives bright silver finish that can be washed with hot water to give an extra clean finish.

Pre-Galvanized or Pre-Plated Wire: CHEMDRAW 644 N DAG gives an excellent finish on high and low carbon wire.

Nail Wire and Cold Heading Stock: CHEMDRAW 644 N DAG works very well with lime and borax coatings. It is excellent for applications where parts will be subsequently plated.

Welding Wire and Rod: CHEMDRAW 644 N DAG can be used with mechanically descaled welding rod on one to four drafts. Typically, it is used in the first two or three boxes, depending on the required finish.

What makes Blachford the category leader in welding wire lubricants?

CHEMDRAW® leads with low-dust, low-consumption chemistries, process-specific solutions (MIG, flux-cored, SAW, aluminum, stainless), ISO 9001 plants, and proven global support.
Precoats/carriers and draw soaps keep conductivity and sliding consistent—reducing bird-nesting, burnbacks, and stoppages for smoother feed and stable arcs.
Yes. Nitrite-free, borax-free, and lime-free options meet EHS goals without sacrificing film integrity, conductivity, or finish.
Yes. Chemistries cover carbon/alloy steels and non-ferrous wires (including aluminum), with recycling options to lower usage and disposal.
Examples: RXJ12, 644-N, SPJ, S31L, 691-B (MIG); SOS, 55, 466, TQ638, BS-7W-BD, 19T (flux-cored/stick); SL 1029, 740 GR 2, 432, 747/30, 2001 (aluminum); BSS-300, CMP28 + RXJ12, 644-N, SOS, TQ700 (stainless). Final picks depend on your setup.
SMART-guided usage envelopes, on-line tech support, and fast data reviews make trials short, predictable, and aligned to your wire, dies, speeds, and targets.
Instrumental, elemental, and surface analysis to diagnose issues, verify films, and fine-tune chemistry—backed by welding wire application expertise.
Automotive, shipbuilding, construction, aerospace, appliance, and OEM consumables—served by ISO 9001 facilities and a worldwide technical network.
