GLO-MOLD CLEANING COMPOUND

GLO-MOLD
is the unique, patented rubber
compound for in place mold cleaning.
ELIMINATES OR REDUCES
typical problems and hidden costs of
conventional mold cleaning
techniques.

• PRESS DOWNTIME

• EXCESSIVE LABOR IN 
  MOLD HANDLING
  

• MOLD DAMAGE OR ABRASION
  

• DELAYS DUE TO SCHEDULING 
  OF CLEANING EQUIPMENT
  

• REJECTS DUE TO DEFECTS OR
  POOR SURFACE APPEARANCE
  

• HEAT TRANSFER LOSS
  

• IMPROPER MOLD FILL
  
  NORMAL PROCESSING
  techniques are used with GLO-MOLD
  in injection, compression and
  transfer molding.
  PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
  can be extremely effective when
  GLO-MOLD is used regularly. Molds
  are kept clean. Costs are reduced.
  Productivity can be increased
  5 – 10%.
  CLEANING BY DIFFUSION
  is accomplished by penetration
  of the reactive ingredients through
  the “dirt” layer and subsequent
  absorption onto the surface of the
  compound. Diffusion can be affected
  by the nature of the “dirt”, time,
  temperature and pressure.
  TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE
  are critical to insure maximum
  cleaning. While higher temperatures
  increase the diffusion rate, they also
  reduce the cleaning time. Cavity
  pressure should be maintained by
  insuring adequate charge weight.
  Do not “bump”.

GLO-MOLD USE INFORMATION

INITIAL CLEANING
of very dirty molds may require multiple 
applications.
MAINTENANCE
of clean molds will be accomplished through 
determination of optimal number of production
heats between applications of GLO-MOLD.
A VARIETY OF PRODUCTS
allows the fabricator to select the GLO-MOLD
formulation that best suits the physical,
rheological and processing requirements.
PROCESSING RECOMMENDATIONS
depending on product selection and application
1. Time – 2 min. to 20 min.
2. Temperature - 280°F to 450°F
3. Pressure – Maximum available
MOLD STORAGE
can be accomplished by using GLO-MOLD as the
last heat in a production run. Remove the 
mold in the closed position. The rust
inhibitor that is generated by the GLO-MOLD
will protect for a minimum of six months.
The mold will also be clean when returned to 
production.
RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS
include all molded rubber goods; passenger,
truck and OTR tires; transfer pod, injection
chamber and extruder clean-outs.
MOST MOLD SURFACES
are efficiently cleaned by GLO-MOLD. These
include steel, stainless steel, chrome, and
aluminum. DO NOT use GLO-MOLD with brass
or other “exotic” surfaces.
PREPARATION
of the GLO-MOLD should be the same as used
for the normal compound. GLO-MOLD can be 
pre-formed, cold-milled, calendered,
extruded or diced.
PRECAUTION
should be taken to avoid skin and eye contact.
adequate ventilation should be provided. At 
room temperature GLO-MOLD may be handled
safely. At elevated temperatures, toxic
effects are unknown.
