Allied Hydro Lube

Allied Hydro Lube (1 Gal) (4 Gal/case) (5 Gal)

Fountain Solution Additive Lubricates - Slows Evaporation of Fountain Solution

Minimizes the transference of unwanted debris within the rollers & blankets, which can lead to scratching and plate sensitivity during press runs

*Will not alter pH or conductivity

Product Features

• Creates lubrication in fount/water allowing the plate to receive a slower evaporating film of fount water on the non-image area.
• As heat builds up during long runs, it helps maintain ink and water balance.
• Metering rollers carry a thicker water film & are less likely to build up with ink.
• Reduction of paper sizing buildup within the roller train.
• Helps keep blankets clean for longer periods of time, as it keeps paper sizing, debris, and ink from picture framing and building up.
• Does not attack ink.
• Slower water film on the plate allows faster startup.
• Longer times between blanket washes.
• Reduce paper waste due to fewer stops.
• Will save up to 2% of overall paper consumption.
• Less emulsified ink and paper in fount system.
• Fewer web breaks due to better lubrication of blankets facilitating better paper release from blankets.
• Reduce plate wear due to reduced piling on the blanket and better protection of the plates.

Direction For Use

HydroLube is dosed between 1% - 2.5% depending on the local conditions and can be dosed via a separate mechanical dosing unit connected to the incoming water pipe.
