Injection Molding

Are glass-filled plastics wearing out your mold components too fast?  A PVD coating will reduce wear on expensive tooling, keeping tooling up and running, making parts.

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.
