  • Description
  • Advantages
  • Recommendations for use
Kleenmold 202 is a petroleum-oil based swabbing compound containing graphite, 
sulfur and proprietary additives.

Kleenmold 202 is designed for high temperature, high speed applications using the NNPB process. It is recommended for amber and green glass beer bottles and for jobswhich run hot.

Kleenmold 202 is designed to provide especially long swabbing cycles; however, it is critical to use a very dry swab when applying the product.
LONG SWAB CYCLES 

EASY LOADING OF GOB 

EXCELLENT PARISON RELEASE 

CLEAN, SHINY WARE 

MINIMUM TRANSFER OF GRAPHITE 

EXTENDED LIFE OF BLANK AND MOLD EQUIPMENT 

HIGH TEMPERATURE STABILITY
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.
