Separating-and-lubricating agent in solid form

Process for lubricating metal surfaces during warm metal shaping of the metal, comprising contacting said metal surfaces before and/or during said warm metal shaping with a separating-and-lubricating agent in solid form, which comprises an agent containing (a) at least one thermoplastic polymer and/or copolymer, (b) a lubricant for synthetic substances, (c) a wetting agent, (d) an adhesive agent, (e) a surface modification agent, (f) fibers and (g) a solid lubricant, the softening point of said agent being between 20.degree. and 250.degree. C., the melting point of said agent being betwen 30.degree. and 300.degree. C. the shore-D-hardness of said agent at 20.degree. C. being between 20 and 80, the cold pressure strength of said agent being between 5 and 500 kg/cm.sup.2, the thermoplastic polymer and/or copolymer being present in an amount between 1 and 90 weight percent, the lubricant being present in an amount between 1 and 70 weight percent, the wetting agent being present in an amount between an effective amount and up to 10 weight percent, the adhesive agent being present in an amount between an effective amount and up to 70 weight percent, the surface modification agent being present in an amount between an effective amount and up to 2 weight percent, the fibers being present in an amount between an effective amount and up to 5 weight percent and the solid lubricant being present in an amount between an effective amount and up to 90 weight percent.

Process for lubricating the metal surfaces of pins or mandrel bars during the production of seamless pipes, comprising contacting said metal surfaces before and/or during said production of seamless pipes with a separating-and-lubricating agent in solid form, which comprises an agent containing (a) at least one thermoplastic polymer and/or copolymer, (b) a lubricant for synthetic substances, (c) wetting agent, (d) an adhesive agent, (e) a surface modification agent, (f) fibers and (g) a solid lubricant, the softening point of said agent being between 20.degree. and 250.degree. C., the melting point of said agent being between 30.degree. and 300.degree. C., the shore-D-hardness of said agent at 20.degree. C. being between 20 and 80, the cold pressure strength of said agent being between 5 and 500 kg/cm.sup.2, the thermoplastic polymer and/or copolymer being present in an amount between 1 and 90 weight percent, the lubricant being present in an amount between 1 and 70 weight percent, the wetting agent being present in an amount between an effective amount and up to 10 weight percent, the adhesive agent being present in an amount between an effective amount and up to 70 weight percent, the surface modification agent being present in an amount between an effective amount and up to 2 weight percent, the fibers being present in an amount between an effective amount and up to 5 weight percent and the solid lubricant being present in an amount between an effective amount and up to 90 weight percent.
