Colza

Another name for rapeseed oil (Canola oil), it is used for the lubrication in ferrous continuous casting molds and in the drawing of aluminum wire or tubes. It may also be used to draw copper rod on non-slip accumulation machines. Staining, however, is difficult to avoid. It is not recommended for enameling and tinning purposes or for fine copper wire.
