DICRONITE Coating For Plastic Mold

Service Details:

???Dicronite dry lubrications proven ability to increase flow and speed-up release, Resulting from its high lubricity and precision tolerance (0.5 microns max.), Coupled with low application temperature, high-temperature stability, and nonFlaking properties, make it the plastics industries key dry lubrication technology. Iso-10993 biocompatible for medical plastic moulding. Companies including plastics, Tyco, Bemis, Hayward industries plastics, and Univac use

Dicronite Dry Lubrication For:

• Reducing reject rates for a low draft or undercut parts such as caps and Closures??????
• Reducing cycle times due to improved release
• Increasing uptime due to less wear on pins, bushings and mould surfaces
• As a co-deposit to improve the performance of Tin, CRN, CRC, and other Surface treatments

???
Functional Mechanisims:

• Friction reduction via ultralow coefficient of friction (m=0.030).
• No effect on mold dimensions, film thickness maximum 0.5 microns.
• High temperature stability up to 538C.
• Useful on both mold surfaces and moving/sliding parts.

Dicronite Dry Lubrication Benefits:-
Reduced Cycle Times:

• Up to 25% cycle time reduction demolding PP undercut screw caps.
• 15% cycle time reduction demolding EVA seal.
• 10% cycle time reduction demolding PP measuring cup closure.

Reduced Reject Rates:

• Force-demolded PP notched snap reject rate reduced plus an added benefit of 12% cycle time reduction.
• Force-demolded PP measuring cup closure reject rate reduced from 1% to <0.1% by reduced jolting during demolding.

Reduced Maintenance Costs:

• 1 million cycles with no noticeable wear on 70N side loaded 3mm ejector pins.
• 10x ROI (cost reduction/application cost) on sliding parts used in shaping interior honeycomb contour for molded polyamide gear levers.

Reduced Filling Pressure:

• In molds with long flow distances and small wall thickness the filling pressure may be reduced, lowering flash production and energy costs, and extending mold life.
