PICOCAST CC 5:
Continuous Casting Lubricant
PICOCAST CC 5 is a high-performance continuous casting lubricant designed to improve billet quality, mold performance, and cost per ton in steel production. Formulated with renewable base stocks and low-smoke additives, it delivers exceptional lubricity, mold cleanliness, and environmental compliance.
Applications: Continuous casting molds (steel billet, bloom, and slab); ideal for high-throughput operations seeking reduced pinholes, improved surface quality, and longer mold/shroud life.
- Low-use additive rate (2–6 oz/ton)
- Reduces billet rejection, mold chatter, and surface defects
- Exceptional stability with high viscosity index
- Enhances workplace safety with low fumes and flame emissions
- Improves casting yield and reduces downtime
Description
PICOCAST CC 5 is a next-generation continuous casting lubricant engineered for demanding steel mill operations. It is formulated using highly refined, renewable blend base oils and proprietary additives that offer superior lubricity and thermal stability. Provides excellent mold surface protection and promotes smoother billet release with fewer casting defects.
PICOCAST CC 5 benefits include improved mold cleanliness, lower pinhole formation, and reduced cracking or surface rejection. The low pour point and low-smoke profile make it ideal for high-speed or high-temperature mold environments where plant safety and environmental factors are critical. Average usage ranges from 2 to 6 ounces per ton, depending on steel chemistry and casting requirements. When applied via continuous flow to all sides of the mold, it helps optimize both cost-efficiency and production quality.
