Resigraph Graphite Coating Services

AST provides specialist Resigraph graphite-resin coating services for glass container manufacturing. The CONDAT Resigraph system provides a semi-permanent, smoke-free, low-friction coating on IS machine delivery equipment — ensuring consistent gob delivery, reduced defect rates and extended service intervals of 9-12 months between applications.

AST services major glass manufacturers including VISY and O-I Glass across Australia and New Zealand.

Last updated: April 2026

Resigraph is a specialist graphite-resin coating for glass manufacturing — not a fluoropolymer. Where AST's Teflon, Halar and Tefzel coatings serve food processing, chemical and industrial applications, Resigraph is purpose-built for the glass container industry. It coats IS machine delivery equipment to provide consistent molten glass gob release across the full production cycle.

Resigraph

What is Resigraph?

Resigraph is a two-component graphite-resin coating system manufactured by CONDAT (France), with over 30 years of glass industry expertise. It is specifically engineered for glass container manufacturing, providing a semi-permanent low-friction surface on delivery equipment that guides molten glass gobs from the feeder into blank moulds on IS machines. The pre-measured two-component system ensures consistent, repeatable coating quality across every application.

  • Two-component graphite-resin system
  • Engineered specifically for glass container production
  • Pre-measured components for consistent quality
  • Manufactured by CONDAT (France)
Performance

Key Performance Properties

Resigraph delivers consistent mould release performance across the full production cycle. The cured graphite-resin film maintains its low-friction properties under repeated contact with molten glass gobs, providing a reliable service life that reduces maintenance frequency and production interruptions.

  • Low-friction graphite surface for consistent gob delivery
  • 9-12 month service life between reapplications
  • Smoke-free at operating temperature
  • Withstands repeated molten glass gob contact
Applications

Where Resigraph is Used

Resigraph is applied to the delivery-side equipment on IS (Individual Section) glass container production lines — the components responsible for guiding molten glass gobs from the feeder into blank moulds at consistent speed and trajectory.

  • IS machine deflectors (inner surfaces)
  • Delivery scoops and troughs
  • Ramps and gob distribution channels
  • Glass container production lines (bottles, jars, tableware)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Resigraph coating?
Resigraph is a two-component graphite-resin coating system manufactured by CONDAT (France), specifically engineered for glass container manufacturing. It provides a semi-permanent, low-friction surface on IS machine delivery equipment — deflectors, scoops, troughs and ramps — that ensures consistent molten glass gob delivery and reduces production defects.
How is Resigraph different from fluoropolymer coatings?
Resigraph is a graphite-resin system designed for the specific demands of glass manufacturing — repeated contact with molten glass gobs at extreme temperatures. Fluoropolymer coatings (PTFE, PFA, Halar, Tefzel) serve different applications such as non-stick, chemical resistance and corrosion protection. AST applies both coating families depending on the application requirements.
How often does Resigraph need to be reapplied?
Resigraph is typically reapplied on an annual cycle, with coatings lasting approximately 9 to 12 months depending on production throughput and operating conditions. AST supports scheduled annual maintenance programs aligned with planned shutdowns.
What equipment does Resigraph coat in glass manufacturing?
Resigraph coats the delivery-side equipment on IS (Individual Section) machines — the components that guide molten glass gobs from the feeder into blank moulds. This includes deflectors (inner surfaces), delivery scoops, troughs, ramps and gob distribution channels.
Who manufactures Resigraph?
Resigraph is manufactured by CONDAT, a French company with over 30 years of experience in glass industry lubricants and coatings. AST is the applicator for Resigraph coating services across Australia and New Zealand, servicing major glass manufacturers including VISY and O-I Glass.
