Product Recommendation Inquiry (采购产品): Product Recommendation Gentlemen, I have a unique opportunity to recommend a lubricant to a world-wide company, and wonder if you have any products that might fill the need. A personal friend happened to mention that his company was having a great deal of trouble with cardboard shipping cartons 'hanging up' on steel slides used to transfer them from one floor to the floor below. They are spraying furniture polish as a temporary expedient, but it's expensive and not overly effective or durable. They would like very much to find a suitable replacement. (Note: Many shipments are in bags that do not move well on rollers, which is why they went to slides in the first place.) Their requirements are as follows: 1. Isopropanol carrier or isopropanol thinnable to speed dry: The volume of shipments is very high, and they simply can't wait very long for a lube to dry. Other thinners may be acceptable, provided they do not provide odor or toxilogical problems. 2. Application is by a sort of 'Super-Soaker' that sends a jet of lubricant some 15 feet or so to the top of the slides. It is wielded by one person per shift, whose sole duty is to walk past these slides and send a squirt to to top of each in turn. When he gets to one end of the plant, he returns and starts again at the begining. Drying is at room temperature, possibly augmented by some trifling frictional heating from the passage of containers. 3. The drying process cannot entail a 'gummy' phase. One of the biggest sources of worker injury involves employees climbing up ladders or ramps to free packaging jams. Potential replacements will be screened by a line foreman who will dip his fingertip in the reduced lubricant and rub it on his thumb until dry. If it goes through a sticky or gummy stage in the drying process, it won't get trialed. 3. The lubricant must not attack, smear or obliterate printing and bar codes on shipping labels. It strikes me that a number of technologies could hold promise here: 1. A dry particulate deposit (of microcrystalline wax or ??) or a wet film of a suitable silicone perhaps, deposited from: 2. A high solids lubricant emulsion (isopropanol thinned to speed drying) or a dry powder that could be manually slurried in isopropanol. If you have any products that seem promising for this application, I can get them tested. Should one prove suitable, the sales potential at this single facility seems fairly substantial, and the culture of the company is such that one successful application could easily lead to world-wide sales to their other facilities. I would need a TDS and MSDS for each product, as well of sufficient sample to prepare at least five gallons of thinned material for trial. Please contact me via the appended information if you need to discuss this oportunity further.
