Is the releasing power of wax really valid?
Wax is composed of the active substances of the release agent and does not contain solvents or water, which are only vehicles.
Why are surface defects visible only after the piece is finished?
During the polishing and painting stages, the hydrogen hidden under the surface tends to expand due to the heating process it undergoes, thus creating micro-cracks, which are visible only when the piece is finished.
Is it enough to reduce waste?
Yes! Our clients confirm it. Due to its heat-melting properties, wax increases the zinc flow, thus facilitating the filling of the casting. As a result, the pieces produced will have a more compact surface, even thanks to the absence of oils.
How is porosity reduced?
During the injection stage, zinc forms the external part of the shape and then the filling. The improved flow provided by wax and the lack of oils makes the film more compact and clean.
Why should we use wax? The results we get are fairly good!
I’m sure that your result is good, but testing and checking the results achieved by using wax can tell you whether there is room for improvement.
Why does the mould last longer?
There are two reasons why this happens. The first one, which is quite obvious, is that eliminating thermal shocks, we have drastically reduced the expansion of the dies, and thus the formation of cracks. The second reason is that the alloy remains smoother, helping us fill the casting because we work at a higher temperature [...]
How is the quality of the casting improved?
By eliminating water from the lubrication process, we have drastically reduced the formation of hydrogen, which causes porosity in the casting. Based on our experience, it is important to carefully assess the mould and know the cause of porosity, which is not always the result of the lubrication process but can be due to internal [...]
How is productivity increased?
Lubricating with water-based products normally take 10-15% of the cycle time. Two-thirds of the lubrication process are dedicated to the mould drying process, which is no longer necessary if you use the Dry Lub System. That’s how we save 7-10% of the time. We can also do better with particularly difficult castings. But this is [...]
Isn’t powder dispersed into the environment?
A minimum amount of the dry product is applied electrostatically to the surfaces. A light suction is required to remove the fumes that result from the melting process.
Is the powder toxic?
The products we use are not toxic and meet all EC parameters.
