Mould-release agents and HPDC

Mould-release agents and HPDC
CONDAFOND: range of die-coating products and mould-release agents for high pressure die casting (HPDC).
Application fields

Description

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...)

CONDAFOND

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

For standard and high-silicon aluminium alloys, magnesium alloys.

Product benefits

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).
