T.C. 1886-L

PRIMARY APPLICATION

T.C. 1886-L is a versatile, liquid drawing compound for deep drawing, stamping, blanking, and other forming operations for all metals. Depending upon application, it may be diluted up to 50% by volume with water. It provides excellent lubrication for working metals, and has fine coolant properties to prevent die galling and metal-to-metal contact. By minimizing die corrosion, T.C. 1886-L increases tool life. Since no gummy residues are formed, dies remain cleaner and require less polishing. If necessary, parts may be easily cleaned before subsequent operations.

Solutions of T.C. 1886-L are easy to prepare and use and will not solidify, gel, or separate upon standing. Readily pourable from the container, the compound will not clog automatic feeding equipment.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

T.C. 1886-L may be applied full strength to sheet metal through conventional equipment (roller, brush or drip-line). Adjust the applicator to provide a uniform coating. For less difficult operations, dilute up to 50% volume with water. Typical solution concentrations are as follows:

Aluminum Copper or Brass Steel
10% Draw 1 part T.C. 1886-L to 1 part water 1 part T.C. 1886-L to 1 part water 1 - 2 parts T.C. 1886-L to 1 part water
25% Draw full strength 3 parts T.C. 1886-L to 1 part water full strength
50% Draw ------------------- full strength -------------------

Note: The percent of draw is the depth of the draw in relation to the diameter of the blank. If the diameter of the blank is 10 inches, a 50% draw would be a 5-inch cup. Solution Control: There is no titration procedure to T.C. 1886-L

NOTES ON USE

Solutions of T.C. 1886-L should be removed from brass and copper after drawing to prevent discoloration.

Safety and Handling Precautions

T.C. 1886-L is a mildly alkaline material. Direct contact may cause irritation of eyes; prolonged contact may cause irritation of skin. May be harmful if swallowed.

Do not get in eyes; avoid prolonged skin contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not take internally.

First Aid in Case of Contact: For eyes, flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If eyes are irritated, get medical attention. For skin, flush with water. If swallowed, drink plenty of water. Contact a physician.
