CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa.,
Sept. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- One constant challenge in
the die casting industry is uneven die protection resulting from
the temperature variation on the die surface. Temperature variation
is caused by the variability in die size, design, complexity, flow
of alloy through the die, and heat profile of each system.
Traditional die lubricants, unable to adapt to the disparity in die
temperatures, can be good at protecting hot areas of the die, but
can produce residue build-up in cooler areas causing:
- Lost production time
- Complications with solder on the casting
- Extra die maintenance
To this end, Quaker Chemical Corporation (NYSE: KWR) ("Quaker")
formulated Smart Polymer technology based on heat activated
polymers. DIE SLICK die release agents formulated with Smart
Polymer technology form a tough barrier on hot areas of the die,
while lightly coating cooler, less demanding areas. And for our
customers this means:
- Lower Total Cost – Increased die life, improved cycle
time shots/hour and reduced maintenance
- Increased Performance – Brighter castings, reduced
soldering and residue, and excellent emulsion stability
- Improved Production – Excellent part quality and shorter
cycle times
Quaker will be exhibiting at the 2017 North American Die Casting
Association Congress & Tabletop in Booth 209 with their
Die Casting product line, including die release agents with
Smart Polymer Technology, plunger lubricants, ladle coatings,
machining coolants and QUINTOLUBRIC® fire-resistant
hydraulic fluids. The show will be held from September 18th to 20th at
the Atlanta Convention Center at
Americasmart. Visit http://www.quakerchem.com/NADCA2017 for
