Description

Glasstek EGX is a high-performance dispersion of high-purity graphite in a two-part epoxy resin system. It’s engineered to enhance lubrication and reduce heat transfer between semi-molten glass gobs and delivery components such as deflectors, troughs, and, on older systems, scoops used in high-volume glass forming machinery.

The Glasstek EGX delivers reliable, long-lasting lubrication that maintains consistent gob velocity and precise delivery. Its tough, dry graphite coating removes the smoke, fumes, and carbon deposits typically produced by conventional wet delivery lubricants.

Features

Simple and easy brush application.

Ambient temperature curing.

Low friction coating provides consistent and accurate delivery speed.

High temperature resin provides long service life.

Facilitates patch coating during operation.

Application

Good surface preparation is essential to ensure long operational life. Surfaces should be free from dust, dirt and oily residues.

Any previously applied coatings should be completely and thoroughly removed. The surface should then be cleaned with a residue free solvent (ideal degreasing regime is to utilise Molyslip Slipclean DL followed by a second clean with Molyslip Slipclean RD).

Once equipment to be coated has been cleaned ensure it is at normal ambient temperature – do not pre-heat as this will adversely affect coating thickness and cure times.

Mix Parts A and B until a smooth, uniform consistency is obtained. Apply immediately by brush to achieve the desired coating thickness – do not over apply as excess product may flow and pool at the bottom of troughs. Allow a cure time of a minimum of 8 hours and ideally 24 hours prior to use.

‘Molyslip is a recognised, dependable brand name and it does not disappoint.’

‘I don’t throw band-aid praise around for the hell of it but it’s an incredible product.’

‘Vaporol, you spray it as best as you can into the work but the vapours are actually doing their work and getting into all the crevices, it’s kind of like magic really.’

MSS Spray forms a near-dry ﬁlm, safeguarding our roller bearings from signiﬁcant build-up. I would highly recommend this product.

ARVINA FM2 is an excellent gearbox grease. Purchased to refill the gearbox on a mixer, which requires food safe grease. I coated the planetary track and gear. The result was the mixer sounded quieter. I recommend this grease for similar applications.

Trusted Customer

I looked around and found FM2, a UK-made food-safe grease. It doesn’t smell and is a translucent light brown colour. Very happy with it and nice to know it isn’t toxic. Great for bearings on food mixers.

Trusted Customer

Never has my metal drilling, tapping, milling & turning been so delightful. My parts are perfectly formed and my tooling is lasting longer

Martin O.

Super products. I have used them for 40 odd years. A little bit goes a long way.

Prepare to be able to cut anything you want like butter. Life-changing. Only need a tiny drop to work miracles!
