Shear spray oils

Shear spray oils
BIOGLASS soluble cutting oils: shear spray lubricants for scissor blades and the cutting of gobs of molten glass. Used in the container glass industry.
Application fields

Description

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.

CONDAT offers BIOGLASS, a complete range of aqueous fluids to meet your needs.
