Performance
Increase your shot velocity by 10 to 20% and extend the life of plunger tips and sleeves. Our solid plunger beads are composed of specialized additives and a high melting point synthetic wax that is engineered to melt and coat the inside walls when entering a cold chamber or cylinder. When compared to water or oil based lubricants, solid bead lubricants can be used in smaller amounts, with minimized gassing, which means less porosity on your finished parts.
Environmental
Promote a cleaner overall die casting environment with no black smoke, cleaner floors/ceiling, and no waste (all lubricating material is used up), resulting in eliminating waste water treatment of your plunger lubricants.
Cost savings
Realize cost savings as a byproduct of using an environmentally friendly plunger lubricant. Less build up in die cavities means less down time needed for clean-up. Non-oily scraps results in a higher recycling yield and more opportunities for re-melting.
