Armoloy® TDC coatings reduce maintenance requirements and downtime in the molding industry, including injection, extrusion, blow, pultrusion, RIM and SMC applications. The life of molding components is extended with Armoloy® coatings, particularly when glass-filled and mineral-filled resins are being formed. Armoloy® coatings increase material flow due to the smooth, micro-nodular surface produced by the coating, leading to more shots and shorter cycle times. Molding areas stay cleaner longer and require less maintenance when Armoloy® coatings are used, and most burned-on plastic/rubber compounds can be quickly removed. Armoloy® coatings maintain required gloss levels and enhance textured surfaces. Post-polishing can improve reflectivity to an SPE #2 level. Armoloy® coatings can be applied to all ferrous and non-ferrous materials including beryllium copper and Ampcoloy bronze. Surface hardness is increased to 78 Rc with Armoloy® coatings.
