- Description
- Advantages
- Recommendations for use
Kleenmold 170 is a petroleum-oil based swabbing compound containing graphite, sulfur and proprietary additives.
Kleenmold 170 is a universal product which provides excellent results on all types of ware including beer, soda and food containers. It is recommended for all forming processes including B/B, P/B,and NNPB.
Kleenmold 170, when carefully applied, can also be used for mayonnaise, pharmaceutical and cosmetic bottles; however, we typically recommend Kleenmold 197 for these less severe applications.

SWAB PREPARATION
Presoak swabs in mineral oil
Presoak enough swabs for 1 shift
Presoaking the swabs in mineral oil enables the graphite in Kleenmold to easily penetrate into the swab.
This improvesthe efficiency of swabbing.
USE 2 SWABS PER MACHINE FOR BLANKS
Swab each half of the blank side of the machine with a different swab
Provides a more uniform, even distribution of product.Using only one swab usually results in some sections receiving too much dope and others too little.
LOAD SWAB IMMEDIATELY AFTER LUBRICATING CYCLE
Reload swab directly after swabbing while the swab is still hot
A hot swab makes it easier for Kleenmold to efficiently penetrate into the center of the swab.
ALWAYS HANG SWABS UP AFTER USE
This practice avoids swab laying in the dope tray and getting saturatedwith oil
Helps keep swabs properlyloaded with lubricant.
SWAB FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
Provides a smooth, even film of graphite each time you swab
Swabbing up and down, or in a random fashion,will yield a discontinuous film and reduce
performance.

Dry Swab more often better than wet swab less often--Using a dry swab will keep your machine running smooth and trouble-free.
It will extend blank life and produce defect-free bottles.
