Injection Molding Applications

Coatings on injection mold components provide the biggest payback to our customers. Some components can cost a couple thousand dollars, or more. So when that component is coated for $100, or so, huge savings are obtained when the part gets five to ten times the tool life.

Besides the longer tool life, coatings will eliminate galling between mold components, improve part release from the mold, reduce wear from glass-filled plastics, reduce mold corrosion caused by gases formed in the molding process and reduce mold cycle time.

TiN and TiCN are the two primary coatings we offer for molding applications. Both of these coatings can be easily stripped from tool steels, allowing TiN and TiCN coated components to be continually stripped and recoated without having to be remade or extensively refurbished between uses.

We know mold components are a one-of-a-kind tool, that's why we take great care in processing your parts. We tailor our cleaning and coating processes to ensure optimal adhesion and performance of the coating, while maintaining the integrity of your parts. Our engineers work with your engineers and tooling people to ensure that your job is done right, the first time.
