Water-Based Die Release Lubricants

DIE SLICK® water-based die lubricants contain our state-of-the-art thermodynamically reactive (heat activated) Smart Polymer Technology which offers superior protection on hot areas of the die while lightly coating cooler less demanding areas. This unique property translates to reduced solder, enhanced release and wetting characteristics while producing bright and clean castings.

DIE SLICK water-based die lubricants are available in the following:

DIE SLICK 17 SERIES	Versatile lubricant for general die casting applications. Exceptional wetting and flow characteristics
DIE SLICK 45 SERIES	Heavy duty lubricant for demanding die casting operations. Superior performance with increased lubricity and reduced build-up characteristics
DIE SLICK AD SERIES	High performance wax-free lubricants for use with optimized spray processes. Premium solder resistance and release
DIE SLICK AF SERIES	High performance silicon free release agents for demanding post casting processes
DIE SLICK SX SERIES	Optimised for water based structural parts, where MQL products are not suitable for application

Benefits of using DIE SLICK® release agents with Smart Polymer technology include:

Bright, clean castings
No downstream paint or coating problems
Excellent emulsion stability
Minimal smoke and no staining
Enhanced release and wetting characteristics
