Maximize Molding Profits with TiN & TiCN Coating!
If you are looking to protect your injection mold tooling investment, PVD coating the high-wear components of the mold set is a great way to go. Coating your ejector pins, lifts, cavities and other mold components with titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium carbo-nitride (TiCN) will increase tool life, reduce down-time, eliminate galling and result in more profits for your company.
TiN and TiCN are vacuum-deposited coatings that are very thin (.0001” – .0002”), very hard (>80 Rc) and wear resistant. Because they are very thin, they have minimal effect on tool tolerances, but a huge effect on your bottom line.
Protect Your Injection Mold Investment with PVD Coatings
Injection mold components are extremely expensive. PVD coating them provides the following benefits:
- 5 – 10 x longer life over uncoated mold components.
- Improved release of plastic parts, along with shorter cycle times.
- Eliminate galling between mold components
- Less mold erosion when shooting glass-filled plastics.
- Less corrosion when molding gas-forming plastics.
- Easier mold clean-up, less plasticizer build-up.
- Can be refurbished numerous times so they can last forever.
- More up-time and higher quality parts, all resulting in more profits.
- Up to $100, or more, in benefits for every $1 spent on coatings.

Molds Last Forever!
Mold components can essentially last “forever” if stripped and recoated before damage has been done to the base material.
Coating Specifications
Coating Thickness: 0.0001″ – 0.0002″
Hardness:
- TiN – 2600 Hv
- TiCN – 4200 Hv
Application Temp.: 800°F
In abrasive applications, TiCN will usually last 2 – 4x longer than TiN due to it being much harder than TiN.
