Diecote

Die lubrication or spraying it is usually meant to apply a lubricating fluid on the die surface, which is necessary for the trouble-free removal of the casting from the die. This operation that consists of the spraying and drying phases, is a crucial activity in the casting cycle and has great influence on the resulting quality of the parts. The main purposes of the die lubricant are: To produce a thermo-protective layer between the incoming material and the mould to avoid the metallization of the cavities and the welding of the alloy with the mould; To create a lubricating layer, that allows the slipping out of the casted part and the regular movement of mould sliding sections and core pullers; the cooling of the mould to maintain the correct thermal balance. Apart from sprayer technology the other important feature for a die lubricants is its chemistry which only a expericenced company can suggest.
