Product Description
Bonderite L-GP 554/20 is a fume-free, water-based press and die forging lubricant with colloidal graphite — specially for aluminum extrusion, excellent lubrication and release properties.
Bonderite L-GP greases and oil-based concentrates from Henkel/Acheson — graphite or copper dispersions for high-temperature lubrication, forging tools, and extrusion applications. L-GP 554/20 is tailored to specific industrial applications — the most important properties and areas of application are listed below.
Bonderite L-GP 554/20 (formerly DAG 554/20) is a fume-free, water-based press and die forging lubricant—a colloidal graphite dispersion in water for aluminum extrusion presses. The die is immersed in diluted material directly after extrusion, forming a graphite film with excellent lubrication/release properties and necessary cooling.

Frequently asked questions about L-GP 554/20
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Bonderite L-GP 554/20: Fume-free, water-based press and die forging lubricant with colloidal graphite — specially formulated for aluminum extrusion, offering excellent lubrication and release properties. Main applications: Aluminum extrusion, hot forging of steel, hot pressing of aluminum and brass.
Greases and oil-based concentrates (L-GP OD, L-GP YA, L-GP AGU+) are preferred for: 1) lubrication points requiring continuous lubrication (bearings, chain links), 2) very high temperatures combined with corrosive environments (AGU+ up to +1'000 °C), 3) anti-seize requirements with guaranteed disassembly, 4) tool lubrication in hot forming with swab application. Dry films are used where cleanliness and electrical properties are critical.
Store in the unopened original container in a dry, cool place — typically between +5 and +40 °C, exact values see TDS. Protect water-based products from frost. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use. Observe the expiry date on the packaging. Store aerosol sprays at low temperature and in a well-ventilated area.
In the comparison table above, you will find related Bonderite products with different properties — different carrier, different solid lubricant, different temperature range, or different application specialization.
