Problems Experienced by Customer
- Part sticking to mold, causing an increase in downtime
- Part getting damaged during ejection, resulting in low output
- Extremely frequent re-application of current mold release product, wasting time and money
Background and Solution
Polymics was developing a new resin compound for a customer.The compound was for a 3D printing application and liked to adhere to metal.With their current mold release product, they could only get 5 shots before needing to reapply.They appliedTuff-Kote, a long-lasting mold release for difficult-to-release parts that works with low to high temperatures.
Results
UsingTuff-Kote, Polymics saw a dramatic 3900% increase in production capacity, going from 5 shots to over 200 shots in a run.Not having to reapply the mold release every 5 shots also significantly cut their downtime and product use.
I cleaned the mold and appliedTuff-Kote Heavy Duty Mold Release.With just the first application, I was able to produce over 200 shots with no sticking issues whatsoever.[The Tuff-Kote] product performed better than expected.It lasted longer than other mold release products I've tried, saving time and money.
