Polyurethane
The Nicklon Difference
Due to homogeneous distribution of autocatalytic nickel and PTFE, there is
a continual renewal of PTFE as the mold surface sustains normal wear. PTFE topical
treatments will degenerate over time as the PTFE breaks down and the topcoat wears off the
mold.
|
Benefits of Nicklon
Enhances resin flow by 4-8%.
Creates excellent release condition on no-draft or difficult-to-eject
parts. Eliminates mold release sprays.
Nicklon's autocatalytic application ensures a uniform application in
deep ribs, bosses and complex details.
Extends mold life though its high corrosion resistant characteristics.
|
Ideal Applications
Nicklon aids in release on straight no-draft cores, cavities, deep ribs,
bosses or E.D.M. It also aids in corrosion protection for gas producing resins such as
PVC.
Experience has proven this coating to be invaluable in many various
molding applications. Nicklon's self-lubricating properties work well in grease-free
molding conditions. Slides, ejector pins, and bushings work smoothly and gall-free.
Results with Nicklon may vary due to mold design, resin properties and
operating parameters.
