Item Name:
Blow More Glass Tools - AquaDag Colloidal Graphite Coating
SKU:
ABR-BMGT-AQUADAGE
Description:
AquaDag-E is a water based dispersion of pure graphite that dries to form a graphite film on virtually any surface, including glass and flexible materials. Once dry, the coating is described as having excellent parting abilities and low contributing friction, and it is noted to be more binding than most lubricants even at temperatures that destroy the binder. The product is described as environmentally safe, nonflammable, nontoxic, and non-corrosive. The listing specifies a 32 oz jar and notes it remains stable at 600°F and at temperatures as high as 2200°F. The product listing also notes it should not be stored at or below freezing temperatures.
How it is used:
In lampworking and hot shop practice, this type of colloidal graphite coating is used anywhere you need a reliable parting layer and a low-friction surface between hot glass and a tool or contact surface. It is commonly applied as a thin film and allowed to dry so it can act as a release and lubricating layer on surfaces that would otherwise grab, chatter, or mark the glass. Because it dries into a graphite film, it is useful when you want controlled movement and clean separation during forming and handling steps where sticking is the enemy.
