- Description
- Advantages
- Recommendations for use
Glasskote SC 100 is a general purpose cold end coating which can be applied with-in a wide range of temperatures 80° to 130°C [176° to 266°F]. Glasskote SC 100 is recommended for mostly all types of production.
Glasskote SC 100 deposits a clear, uniform film of polyethylene on a bottle surface providing excellent lubrication and label adhesion.It is recommended to be used at a dilution ratio of 100 parts of water to 1 part of Glasskote SC 100.
Glasskote SC 100 isrecommended for one waycontainers, returnable bottles, soda, wine, beer, food, mayonnaise, and most other types ofcontainers in which the labels are
applied using casein type adhesives

WATER QUALITY
Glasskote SC 100 utilizes anon-ionic emulsification system and so the emulsion is stable in hard water of up to 10,000 ppm of calcium or 584 grains of water hardness.However, the problem with hard water is that spotting fromthe water itself will occur even though the water hardness has no effect on Glasskote. For this reason,it isrecommended that deionized water beused with a hardness of below 4 ppm as calcium carbonate and the water should be within a pH range of between 7 to 9.
An advantage of Glasskote SC 100 over competitive products is that if a problem occurs with the water softener and hard water is mistakenly used, the coldend coating system will keep functioning. We recommend using a water treatment system which keeps the total dissolved solids below 100 ppm. The less dissolved material in the water (the cleanerthe water), the less chance of spotting as the water evaporates.
EQUIPMENT
Glasskote SC 100 is usually applied with an overhead traverse spray. We strongly recommend the use of automatic self-cleaning spray guns made of stainless steel with Teflon internal construction. Other metals such as brass tend to corrode and this corrosion can clog the guns causing what appears to be coating problems.
APPLICATION
Glasskote SC 100 should be applied below the finish at a temperature between 80° and 130°C [176° to 266°F]. It is usually diluted as 100 parts of water to 1part of Glasskote [100 to 1]. Dilution ratios as low as 75 to 1 and as high as 150 to1 have been reported. The most widely used and recommended dilution ratio is 100 to 1.
PRECAUTIONS
Keep from freezing:
Freezing will destroy the colloidal emulsion and render the product useless. Ordering should be scheduled to avoid shipping during winter months. Storage should be inside.
Bacterial Contamination:
The product as supplied is protected from bacterial attack. However, after it is diluted 100 to 1, the bacterial attack may occur (especially if contamination occurs from external sources). Sodium hypochlorite is an effective bacterial agent when used at a chlorine level of between 8 and 12 ppm. Ordinary household bleach is 5.75% sodium hypochlorite (or approximately 3.4% chlorine). To obtain the desired level of chlorine, add approximately30 ml of bleach per 100 liters of diluted coating. Only add sodium hypochlorite to the diluted product.
