Die Casting/ Extrusion Lubes

6.         Die Casting Lubricants

a. Aluminum Die Cast Release
Lubricast 935
Lubricast 945
Lubricast 880TD
Lubricast 8567 (Wax Free)
Lubricast 884
Lubricast 840 D: 47% solids, semi-synthetic with 3 different high performance polymers
that range from 93°C to 427°C. Formulated for aluminum, magnesium or zinc.
Recommend ratios from 30:1 to 200:1.

LUBRICAST 898 NS: is a high performance non-silicone die release agent. It is formulated for
the aluminum and zinc die caster with complex or detailed molds. LUBRICAST 898NS forms a
micro- stable solution in both hard and soft water and may be used in fully automatic spray
systems or hand-held units. LUBRICAST 898NS is extremely resistant to rancidity and can be
diluted up to 20:1 to 100:1 with water. This new Chemtool technology has had an extremely
successful history of producing high volume castings weighing over 50 pounds.

b. Zinc Die Cast Release
Lubricast 820:21% solids, semi-synthetic with three different high performance polymers
that range from 93°C to 427°C. Formulated for aluminum, magnesium or zinc. Recommended
ratios from 20:1 to 100:1.

Lubricast 814ZR: a light to medium duty die release agent for use on zinc die casting
operations. This micro emulsion was specifically formulated to eliminate buildup and ensure
dimensional stability. In addition, the bright clean finish enables parts to be paintable or
plated. LUBRICAST 814 is easily mixed in water and can be diluted from 50:1 to 100:1 ratios.
It is easily applied with hand held or automatic spray systems. This tightly bonded micro
emulsion will not clog spray nozzles and is easily cleaned up.

d. Plunger Lubricants
i. Conventional Oil
Lubricast PL-14: 9,000 SUS/ 1800cSt @ 40°C, water washable semi-fluid with high temperature
lubricity additives. It can be applied by drip, brush or by internal sleeve high-pressure methods.

Lubricast PL-4C: 9,000 SUS/ 1800cSt @ 40°C, graphited oil based product with high
temperature lubricity additives. Can be applied by drip, brush or by internal
sleeve high-pressure methods.

Lubricast PL-4-16

ii. Conventional Water
Lubricast PL-679:38% solids, semi-synthetic, non-
graphite water soluble, with high temperature lubricity
additives. Use it at ratios from neat up to 6:1. It can be applied directly into the shot chamber
through the pour hole, drip, brush or by internal sleeve high-pressure methods.

iii. Dry Plunger Lubricant
Lubricast ProShot 429: 4 to 9 mesh size graphite coated solid wax based lubricant with extreme
pressure and boundary lubricants. Designed to be dispensed into the cold chamber prior to metal
pour.

Lubricast ProShot Micropellet 229:8 to 20 mesh size non-graphited solid wax based lubricant
with extreme pressure and boundary lubricants. Designed to be dispensed into the cold chamber
prior to metal pour.

f. Start-Up Paste or Solder Condition on the Die Mold
Dikote 1212:also known as anti-solder paste, is a complex blend of organic waxes and high
temperature lubricity additives. Dikote 1212 is primarily used in the event that excessive solder
build-up occurs on the casting mold and can also be used as a start-up aid. Dikote 1212 is a thick
paste that can be applied by a stiff bristle
brush.

Lubricast HiTemp:also be used as a high performance start-up release by applying a thin coat
with a pump spray bottle. When using the Lubricast Hi Temp as a start-up release it is
recommended to be used in neat form or 1:1 ratio. Lubricast Hi Temp can also be used as an anti-
solder removal spray easily applied by pump spray bottle directly to the solder area in net form.

g. Non Ferrous Metal Trimming Fluids
CT 250NC- water soluble oil, designed with rust preventives for trim dies and quenching tanks.
CT 250-NC offers maximum heat transfer and corrosion protection of aluminum and zinc castings at
die operation at 7%.

CT 500 LC- water extendable synthetic with 46% solids, true solution, oil rejecting synthetic
designed with rust preventives for trim dies and quench tanks. CT 500-LC offers maximum heat
transfer and corrosion protection of aluminum and zinc castings at 2%. Designed with high
performance lubricity additives for trimming operations, CT 500-LC can be used at 5%.
