  • Description
  • Advantages
  • Recommendations for use
Biosol 2050 is a vegetable oil and petrouleum oil based shear spray lubricant, which is diluted with water and sprayed onto shear blades to provide cooling and lubrication.
Biosol 2050 is different from other Biosol’s in that it does not contain animal oil.
Biosol 2050 requires that some special precautions be taken to ensure optimal performance. The most important of these is to utilize water with a hardness of less than 35 ppm of calcium, if possible. Detailed application info on reverse side.

DILUTION RATIO

Recommend mixing 1000 parts of water with 1 part Biosol 2050 [ +/- 200 ].
[We recommend a dilution ratio of between 800 to 1200 parts of water to 1 part of Kleenkut 2050. However, various glass plants use Biosol at either stronger or weaker concentrations than recommended.]

WATER QUALITY

Biosol 2050 requires treated water low in hard water salts for optimum performance.
Recommend maintaining hard water salts [calcium] below 35 ppm.
Recommend Deionization System rather than water softener.
A water softener replaces hard water salts (calcium & magnesium) with the more water soluble sodium and potassium salts. However, this method is not recommended because the level of Total Dissolved Solids is not reduced. This can cause build-up (and therefore problems) over time; especially in re-circulating systems.]

pH

pH should be kept between 7.0 and 8.5.
This is important to avoid problems of bacterial growth and also to avoid problems of corrosion. Many plants add chlorox (sodium hypochlorite) which is locally available in many countries. We also offer a very effective product called Aquasol 2 which is a pH promoter and bacteriacide specially designed for use with Kleenkut 2050.

BIOSOL EMULSION TEMPERATURE

Recommend water temperature to be between 5°ancl 40°C [41°and 104°F],
[Water hotter or colder than the temperature range recommended above may have a negative effect on operating performance.]

CARE OF NEAT BIOSOL 2050

Maintain temperature of neat Biosol above -10°C [14°F]
[Below -10°C (14°F), Biosol 2050 will solidify. For this reason, the drums should be kept indoors in a warm place when received. Solidification does not render the product useless. Reliquified Biosol 2050 is as good as the original material. However, care should be taken to insure that all the material has reliquified. Sometimes this requires heating the material to between 25°and 35°C [77°and 95°F.]]

SPRAY SYSTEM
There are several state-of-the-art Shear Spray Systems available which were specifically designed for Biosol 2050. Two examples are the Emhart and the Graphoidal Shear Spray Systems.
