VITROLIS SHEARLUBE 722X

Advantages/Benefits

• Exceptional lubrication, cooling and corrosion protection greatly extends blade life and cutting performance from very high dilution emulsions
• Enhanced economies in use due to reduced lubricant consumption and lower effluent disposal or treatment costs
• Excellent tolerance to hard water salts thus minimising the potential for soap formation and giving reduced problems of blockages etc
• Lubricity components are based on vegetable oil derivatives with very high thermal stability, minimising sticky/resinous type build up around the shear head area
• Readily biodegradable therefore meeting the latest criteria for todays environmentally conscious manufacturing units
• Resistant to extremes of high and low temperature producing an extremely stable neat concentrate with good resultant emulsion characteristics
• Excellent health, safety and hygiene properties due to its non toxic/hazardous nature.

Description

In common with other SHEARMASTER products, VITROLIS SHEARLUBE 722X is a sophisticated formulation which is water emulsifiable and is classified under current regulations as non-toxic and is fully biodegradable. The lubricant has been specifically designed to work at extremely high dilution rates, starting at 800:1 up to 1500:1, yet still maintaining outstanding blade life and quality of shear cut.

Due to the excellent biodegradability and emulsion characteristics of the product it is particularly suited to a direct dosing system where the lubricant is injected into the water phase just prior to the shear head. It can also be used in older type re-circulating systems although it is strongly recommended that the holding tank for the emulsion is fitted with mechanical agitation.

For optimum lubricant performance softened water is recommended for preparation of the emulsion. However, the product is formulated on vegetable oil derived feed stocks and relatively inert emulsifiers/anticorrosive additives to give high tolerance to hard water salts and improved thermal stability.

Application

VITROLIS SHEARLUBE 722X is a further development of the successful range of lubricants for gob shear applications. Its principal application is in the container and table ware Industries to lubricate and cool the gob shear blades in the process of cutting molten glass.

Mixing Instructions

Optimum mixing is obtained by adding VITROLIS SHEARLUBE 722X to water or emulsion at a point of high turbulence and at a temperature above 10°C.

Storage

Drums should be stored on their sides in a clean, dry place and should be protected from extremes of temperature.
