    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.
