PRODUCTION OF CHAIN LUBRICANT AND MOULD RELEASE AGENT.
INTRODUCTION: These products are used mainly in the manufacturing industry. Chain lubricants are used in bottling companies like breweries, soft drink and pharmaceutical firms where chain conveyors carry bottles. It prevents breakage of glass bottles. Mould release agents are used in plastic metal and other related moulding companies. The agent is used to ensure that the product being moulded does not stick to the mould itself.

1. Industrial liquid Detergent Pine oil
2. Glycerine Palm kernel oil
3. Sodium silicate (good grade) Mineral oil (Thick)
4. Water Diesel (optional)
5. Colourant (optional) Oil colourant (optional)
6. Propylene Glycol (PPG)
EQUIPMENT / TOOLS:
1. Low speed mixer (or manual mixer).
2. Weighing scale or measuring device (cylinder)
3. Storage Tanks - plastic preferable
