METALCOTE 111 – LUBRICANT COATING FOR METAL DIES
Metalcote 111 is based on semi-colloidal graphite suspended in water. It is a lubricant for general use on metal parts like cores, slides and other moving parts of gravity or low pressure cast dies.
It is also valid for application over the base coating to facilitate the separation of the cast from the shell.
Due to its high non-wetting characteristics by non-ferrous metals, it is used as a lubricant and protector of moulds, ingot moulds, tools and moving parts subjected to attack by liquid metal and high temperatures.
The product diluted in water can be used in a container in which to immerse the cores of the shells to be cooled during exercise and to deposit a thin layer of release and lubricating agent on the surface.
