Coatings that improve uptime and reduce maintenance
Moving mold parts
and form giving mold parts :
unique coating recipes
We have separated mold components into two functional groups having
unique functions and for this reason use different types of coatings for
each group. The reasons for the group split and the unique properties
that optimize coating performance for each group are shown below.
Bekaert-DLC is part of the
Bekaert-Group. Bekaert’s
business is built on two core
competences: advanced metal
transformation and advanced
materials and coatings.
The combination of these
competences makes Bekaert
unique.
Bekaert quickly became a
leading supplier of high quality
diamond-like coatings in a
defined number of keysegments. During previous
years, Bekaert together with our
customer have defined specific
coating-formulas for plastic
injection molds. Our coatings
are marketed world-wide under
the trade name Dylyn®/DLC.
Depending on the specific
function of the part, we can
adapt our coating recipe to give
you the properties you need.
Moving mold components
What kind of coating properties
can improve the uptime of your
injection machines?
Unique benefits: reduce operational costs by increasing
lifetime of mold components
Mobile phone | Ejectors
Sight glasses of mobile phones | Mold inserts
•
Less wear so longer life of moving parts
Less galling
• Increased protection against corrosion
• Less or even no use of lubricants
• Less and shorter start and stop of machines
•
Moving parts that perform better with Bekaert Dylyn®/DLC
In plastic part manufacturing it is all about uptime and increasing speed.
Maintenance cycles are a crucial component of manufacturing costs. DLC
coatings can bring you to the next level…
Ejector pins, sliders, thread cores, ejector sleeves, leader pins,
collapsible cores, wear plates, …
Syringes | Ejector bushings
Medical | Ejector pins
Form-giving mold components
Coating properties
Low surface energy
Low coating thickness (2-3µm)
Low microporosity
Low deposition temperature
High hardness
Biocompatible
Low friction
Conformal coating
Unique benefit: increase up time by lubricant free production
Caps & closures | Thread cores & ejector sleeves
Caps & closures | Caps for nail varnish bottles
• Less build up of residues on the mold surface
• Better protection against corrosion
• Less abrasive wear
• Better protection of the surface against scratches
• No increase of roughness after coating
• Preservation of release properties
Moving parts that perform better with Bekaert Dylyn®/DLC
Cores used on PET preforms or syringes, blow molds using PET
preforms for bottles and tubes, mold cavities used in the manufacturing
of lenses, cell phone screens or caps & closures, …
Your added value
High wear resistance
No change of
mold design needed
Consistent release
Little or no lubricants needed
Corrosion resistance
No galling or cold welding
Less maintenance
Less production stops
Cost savings analysis
PET preform | Cores
PET bottles | Blow mold
