Lubrication

I.S. Machine oil

The VITROLIS range has been benchmarked against leading market competitiors and optimized in varous viscosity grades to offer users guarantees of performance and satisfaction from I.S. Machine operation.

VITROLIS I.S. Machine oils are used extensively globally and are formally approved by many leading I.S. Machine OEM's. The quality of VITROLIS I.S. oil is confirmed by the use of products in technical trading centres and research centres of I.S. Machine OEM's globally.

VITROLIS I.S. Machine oils offer the following key performance benefits:

• Extended re-lubrication intervals against mineral and synthetic alternatives due to lower evaporation and improved thermal stability.
• Cleaner operating conditions and reduced maintenance due to lower carbon and residue formation than competitor products.
• Higher levels of machine reliability and consistency in manufacturing output.
• Reduced maintenance and house-keeping requirements including handling, storage and disposal costs.
• Available with UV tracer for leak detection on systems.

	VITROLIS SHEARLUBE GSI	High performance product for use with precise dosing systems.	< 900 to 1	Synthetic, Vegetable	Softened water recommended
	VITROLIS SHEARLUBE 334	Suitable for all types of dosing systems	< 1250 to 1	Semi-Synthetic	Softened water recommended but not required
	ITROLIS SHEARLUBE B	Fully Biodegradable mineral oil free shearspray lubricant	700 to 1	Synthetic	Hard or soft water

DELIVERY LUBRICANTS

	Product Name	Description	Base Oil	Application
Often referred to as “scoop oils” or “gob accelerator lubricants”, the VITROLIS delivery lubricants are designed to reduce co-efficient of friction, keep delivery equipment clean and to ensure constant and uniform delivery of the gob to moulds	VITROLIS DL LIGH	Water white delivery oil. 32 cst.	Highly refined white mineral oil	Spray or drip feed. Optimise between 300 – 500 cuts.
	VITROLIS DL HEAVY	Water white delivery oil. 68 cst.	Highly refined white mineral oil	Spray or drip feed . Optimise between 300 – 500 cuts
	VITROLIS DL WG	Non-flammable, water based	Water/Glycol	Spray or drip feed. Optimise as required.

DELIVERY COATINGS

	Product Name	Description	Application Rate	Notes
VITROLIS DC is designed to bond to the surface of troughs and deflectors to ensure optimum production efficiency. They provide a consistent co-efficient of friction to ensure that gobs are delivered at a constant speed, insulates the gob from excessive heat loss and eliminates the transfer of particle matter to ensure against checks and inclusions.	VITROLIS DC	2 pack graphite dispersion in high temperature resistant epoxy resin.	Apply within 1 hour	o optimise dry at 80-120C for 1-2 hours
