Major Producer of Cable Ties - Coated Ejector Pins
This moulder had used WS2 successfully on the tie lock inserts which had the effect of removing tool room personnel from the production department and reducing downtime. Some time ago he had some ejector pins coated which he assembled with a little grease. Thirty months later (after cycling the whole time at 7 seconds) the mould was inspected...there was no wear on either holes or the pins! He now coats all ejector pins!
Coated Ejector Pins
Another moulder had used WS2 coated ejector pins without grease and got over 2 million cycles without the mould requiring servicing! This was significantly better than other moulds in the set that had not used WS2.

The problem here was the lever was randomly sticking in either the core or the cavity breaking the temper evident bridge. Production was virtually useless. The machine was cycling at 14 seconds. We coated both the cores and the cavities. After coating all 12 impressions were working with a cycle time of 8.9 seconds.

This moulding in Nylon 66 cycled at 20 seconds and occasionally stuck in the mould before coating with WS2. After coating no sticking and cycling at 16 seconds!
