BONDERITE® L-FG 4258B forging lubricant is a water-based dispersion of "natural graphite" that lubricates at high temperatures. BONDERITE® L-FG 4258B is suitable for hot forging steel parts with minimal process or quality issues. The lubricant prevents hot metal from sticking to the die and punch, and helps with metal flow.

BONDERITE® L-FG 4258B can be flooded or sprayed, however spraying must be done with care and the proper nozzle size due to the high solids content and high viscosity. BONDERITE® L-FG 4258B can be used on mechanical, hydraulic, and transfer presses.
