Die-Coating Products and Mould-Release Agents for High Pressure Die Casting
The phase of use and spraying of a mould-release agent is one of the critical phases in high pressure die casting (HPDC). Spraying a mould-release agent on the permanent moulds in high-pressure die casting thus has an impact on:
- The cycle time
- The lifetime of moulds
- The quality of the parts (appearance, porosity...)
This represents the most complete range of die-coating products on the market and offers:
- Water-based mould-release agents, miscible with water in any proportion and compatible with a wide range of water hardnesses
- Water-free die-coating products
- Mould-release agents with or without silicone: Condafond 7xx range
- Die-coating products with or without wax
- Highly concentrated mould-release agents
- Recyclable mould release agent products: Condafond xxx REC range
Applications
- Foundry
- For standard and high-silicon aluminium alloys, magnesium alloys.
Advantages
Our research teams, attentive to your needs, have developed products with the following main advantages:
- Application over a wide range of temperatures: 100°C to more than 300°C
- Increase in your productivity
- Increase in lifetime of moulds, ejectors and other tools thanks to the use of materials with a high release power
- Reduction in clogging of spray systems and moulds, to give clean moulds and parts
- Optimisation of cycle times and reduction in production shutdown
- Reduction in the quantities of die-coatings used
- Reduction in faulty parts and rejects: reduction in porosity
- Reduction in emissions and smoke through the use of the most thermally stable products
- Observance of the regulations in force (Biocides Directive...)
- Reduction in the COD, BOD for water reprocessing (Chemical Oxygen Demand, Biochemical Oxygen Demand).
Condafond Product Range
- Globe Condafond 184
- Globe Condafond F050
- Globe Condafond 14 G
Globe Condafond 184
Release Agent - High Pressure Foundry
Globe Condafond 184 is an emulsion of releasing agents designed for aluminium and magnesium high pressure die casting. It possesses anticalaminic characteristics on the molds (self-cleaning power). It is intended for the lubrication of molds. It eases unmoulding and prevents metallic transfer on tools.
Applications
- Aluminium high pressure foundry
- Magnesium high pressure foundry
- Lubrication and cooling of molds and tools
Particularités
- Characterised by a high technological potential: it offers an outstanding productivity level.
- Does not build up on moulds, even at high concentration. it even cleans up gradually moulds which have been used by another lubricant.
- Does not stain parts and does not produce smokes. Parts casted are cleaned with a bright finish aspect.
- Protects the tool and the press from the corrosion. Very high resistance to micro-organisms, designed for recycling process.
- Withstands a wide range of operating temperatures: good adhesion on hot areas and stability at high temperature.
Globe Condafond F050
Release Agent - High Pressure Foundry
Globe Condafond F050 is a fine particle size dispersion of graphite in water, especially suitable where a smooth dry lubricating film is required on a variety of substrates to provide lubrication in most difficult forming operations.
Applications
- Die casting release agent for aluminum alloys (gravity or high pressure).
- Die casting release agent for brass and copper alloys (gravity or high pressure).
- Release agent for Fe-Si alloys casting
- Cylinder lubricant in aluminum -3C -casting
Benefits
- High covering power with optimal performances
- Allow adhesion on extremely hot metals
- Ultra fine controlled particle size distribution
- Allow economic on dilution ratio
- Good adhesion on very hot surfaces
- High lubricating properties
- Does not build up (no inorganic binder)
- Does not irritate (does not contain ammoniac)
