BIOGLASS 08

• Biodegradable shear spray lubricant designed for hollow glass packaging

BIOGLASS TW 100

• Shear spray lubricant, water soluble designed for hollow glass packaging
• Formulated with a unique blend of vegetable oils

Applications

• The blades or shears that cut the glass gobs (1 150°C) must be permanently lubricated. A solution/emulsion of soluble oil and water is sprayed continuously on these blades. While the water (99% of the blend) is there to cool the scissors, shears the BIOGLASS oil ensures their lubrication.
• Good lubrication eliminates cutting lines and prevents molten glass sticking to the tools. It also reduces wear on the shears and in consequence their replacement frequency.
• Our shear spray lubricants also allow, under certain conditions, lubrication of scoop and delivery operations.

Advantages

• Concentrated products needing a low working concentration (0.1 – 0.8%) → economic
• Can be used as lost oils or recycled so as to reduce consumption of products and water
• Very stable when diluted
• High lubricity, decrease the friction between the gob and the blades, cool the blades and minimize shear marks
• Protection against corrosion
• Low residue on the machine, feeder, delivery → clean environment
• Reduction or elimination of plugging of spraying system, nozzles sprayer blockages
• 100% synthetic products or mixed with mineral oils
• Protection against corrosion of ferrous and non-ferrous metals

• BIOGLASS 08N: very high resistance to micro-organisms, VOC free, high resistance to foaming in soft water, high compatibility with Viton, EPDM, NBR joints, as per NF E 48-610

• BIOGLASS TW 100: no plugging of the spray system, very easy to emulsify with all water hardness (recommended water quality: TH 15°F = 150 ppm of CaCO₃)
