- Description
- Advantages
- Recommendations for use
Damchex 40is a rubber-like chemical compound particularlyeffective for the prevention of checks on hot glassware in the finish mold. The material is supplied in block form and can be cut into pieces of appropriate size. It can also be purchased in precut pieceswhich are firmly secured to a sixteen-inch wooden stick. These are called Damchex Sticks.
Damchex is usually applied in the finishing part of the glass forming operation, such as the blow moldor on engravings.
Damchex is recommended for use on all types of bottles and in all types of forming processes.

APPLICATION
Damchex 40 should be applied by rubbing the interior ofthe mold cavity, causing it to melt and to leave a coating, which gradually decomposes and vanishes. The application is quick and is made without interruption to the glass forming process. One application to each mold cavity provides effective parting of the glass and iron without checks for a period of 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the operation), after which the application is repeated.
Damchex 40 is applied in the finishing part of the glass forming operation;such as in the blow mold of the I.S. machine or in the press mold of a press machine. It is not generallyapplied to a loading or performing part like a blank mold. However, this material does limited application for neck rings to help reduce checks.
ON THE MOLD SIDE
Lubricate the top of the mold so there will be no mold checks underneath the finish.
Lubricate the seams of the mold so there will not be any seam checks.
Lubricate by rubbing the engravings of the blow mold.
Lubricate around the bottom plate and mold match to eliminate heel checks.
ON THE BLANK SIDE
Lubricate the baffles - top lips of the blank and shoulder areas.
Lubricate areas of the blank which correspond to defects on the bottle.
IN PRESS OPERATIONS
Lubricate around the plunger.
Lubricate the joints of the mold.
Lubricate the ring seat of the mold.
Lubricate between the plunger and the ring.
