Plastics - General Information
Very Low Friction Dry Lubricant
Stop Wasting Time and Money On:-
- Sticking Cores
- Moulds not filling properley
- Parts sticking in the mould
- Pickup on moving mould parts
- Lubricant Contamination
- Streaking & Drag Marks
Major Benefits of WS2 for the Plastics Industry:-
- Increases productivity - more parts per hour - parts not sticking in the mould.
- Enhances the flow of resin in moulds due to its low coefficient of friction.
- Parts release quicker.
- Allows the reduction in moulding pressure and temperature.
- Reduction in part weight as resin is not packed as tight.
- Eliminates streaking and drag marks, moulds fill more easily reducing rejects.
- Eliminates use of other release agents. Eases colour changes and cleaning operations.
- Not transferred to finished parts so no washing required prior to printing.
- Can be applied to metal-on-metal die parts and moulding machines as a long lasting, heat proof, to reduce wear and seizing.
- Application to No.1 diamond finish . . . lens quality.
- Can be applied into slots and holes as small as 0.060"
- May be applied over the whole mould or in specific inserts, cavities or on core pins.
- Bonds to all metal or plastic materials and platings and cannot be removed without removing the substrate.
- Maintains dimensional integrity of mould to within 0.5microns cannot be build up to greater .
- Eliminate problems in commissioning new die sets.
- Resists carbon build-up from burnt deposits due to extremely low coefficient of friction.
General Notes:-
- WS2 is a surface treatment not a spray.
- WS2 is applied at ambient temperature.
- WS2 cannot peel or chip.
- WS2 is suitable for medical/clean room moulding.
- WS2 is 0.00002in thick so needs no special engineering.
- The parts have to come to us for treating.
- We can handle parts upto 5 tonne in weight (1200mm x 2200mm).
- Most parts can be processed with one working day of receipt.
- We offer a while you wait coating service.
