# Deep-drawing lubrication

Dry graphite film for cold deep drawing: reduces sticking and marking during sheet forming.

Family: Lubrication applications

## Processes
- Cold deep drawing
- Sheet forming

## Challenges
- Sticking on die and punch
- Marks on the sheet
- Tearing from lack of lubrication along the path

## Advantages
- Dry film that is not displaced like an oil
- Reduces marks and sticking in drawing
- Eases cold release

## Limitations
- May leave black residue that needs washing
- Does not replace die and punch design
- Performance depends on film thickness
