DIE SLICK® AH series are a range of water free high pressure die casting lubricants designed to be used with no dilution. Products are available with and without active siloxane release agent.
Siloxane containing products are formulated with unique and innovative Smart Polymer (SP) technology, a thermodynamically reactive polymer system that forms a tough resilient lubrication film on hot areas of the die, while lightly coating cooler, less demanding areas. This results in reduced solder, producing bright and clean castings and eliminates the need for over-spraying in hot die areas.
The AH series of lubricants bring significant advantages over all water-based lubricants, diluted or minimum quantity products. Leidenfrost effect is eliminated leading to vastly improved die life through elimination of thermal stresses, improved lubricant film adhesion and resultant lubrication film formation, especially at hot spots. Other benefits include:
AH series lubricants lead to much reduced cost of operation when compared to any water- based solution, and help customers meet environmental targets with reduced CO2 footprint.
Formulations are wax free to ensure little of no nozzle clogging and reducing die build up and maintenance.
We design and build die release mixing and spray systems and so we are able to work closely with you to optimize all aspects of your die casting process to improve production efficiency, scrap rates and part quality.
Our QH FLUIDCAST™ DUAL and MQL systems have been specifically developed for use with DIE SLICK® water-free die lubricants.
