is a coating composition for low, medium and high carbon wire. The product contains only small amounts of sulphates and is completely free of boron compounds. The product is used in a dipping process and provides good corrosion protection even at low concentrations. ZEL 565 is a development that will satisfy the requirements of the latest drawing technologies . In some applications, especially in the production of bright wire ZEL 565 is better than many borax containing products, with improved subsequent solubility.
