Draw Clean VO

Solvent-Based Vanishing Oil for Light Forming, Stamping and

Punching of Painted and Unpainted Stock; Provides Excellent
Lubricity and Cooling

PRIMARY APPLICATION
Draw Clean VO is a special liquid formulation that provides the excellent lubricating and cooling action
needed to lessen heat build-up between tool and work piece in certain metalworking operations. It's
successfully used for such operations as light metal forming of both painted and unpainted stock as well
as stamping and punching.

When used for forming light-gauge painted stock, Draw Clean VO dramatically exhibits its excellent
lubricity. The solvent-based vanishing oil softens the paint and metal just enough to give them elasticity.
This allows the paint and metal to stretch harmoniously moving together as one -- as the stock is formed
into a finished product. Then, Draw Clean VO disappears on dry-down, vanishing without leaving a visible
trace of residue.

A clear light-yellow liquid, Draw Clean VO is both transparent and non-foaming as applied. Thus, work in
production is kept easily visible for closer, safer control and fewer errors due to operator fatigue. By
reducing heat build-up on contact surfaces, Draw Clean VO also helps to prolong tool and die life. It gives
off no smoke when used as recommended.

Draw Clean VO contains ingredients acceptable to the FDA.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Applicable on most ferrous and non-ferrous metals, Draw Clean VO is used full strength before forming,
stamping or punching operations. It's applied by the flow on method directly on parts to be worked. Since it
leaves no residue on dry down that would interfere with subsequent finishing operations, such as painting,
there's usually no need to rinse the worked surfaces. And usually no need to clean them before they're
shipped.

Solution Control: No titration procedure is needed for Draw Clean VO.
