Coatings that improve uptime and reduce maintenance

Moving mold parts and form giving mold parts : unique coating recipes We have separated mold components into two functional groups having unique functions and for this reason use different types of coatings for each group. The reasons for the group split and the unique properties that optimize coating performance for each group are shown below. Bekaert-DLC is part of the Bekaert-Group. Bekaert’s business is built on two core competences: advanced metal transformation and advanced materials and coatings. The combination of these competences makes Bekaert unique. Bekaert quickly became a leading supplier of high quality diamond-like coatings in a defined number of keysegments. During previous years, Bekaert together with our customer have defined specific coating-formulas for plastic injection molds. Our coatings are marketed world-wide under the trade name Dylyn®/DLC. Depending on the specific function of the part, we can adapt our coating recipe to give you the properties you need.

Moving mold components What kind of coating properties can improve the uptime of your injection machines?

Unique benefits: reduce operational costs by increasing lifetime of mold components Mobile phone | Ejectors

Sight glasses of mobile phones | Mold inserts

•

Less wear so longer life of moving parts Less galling • Increased protection against corrosion • Less or even no use of lubricants • Less and shorter start and stop of machines •

Moving parts that perform better with Bekaert Dylyn®/DLC

In plastic part manufacturing it is all about uptime and increasing speed. Maintenance cycles are a crucial component of manufacturing costs. DLC coatings can bring you to the next level…

Ejector pins, sliders, thread cores, ejector sleeves, leader pins, collapsible cores, wear plates, …

Syringes | Ejector bushings

Medical | Ejector pins

Form-giving mold components Coating properties

Low surface energy

Low coating thickness (2-3µm)



Low microporosity

Low deposition temperature



High hardness

Biocompatible



Low friction

Conformal coating

Unique benefit: increase up time by lubricant free production

Caps & closures | Thread cores & ejector sleeves

Caps & closures | Caps for nail varnish bottles

• Less build up of residues on the mold surface • Better protection against corrosion • Less abrasive wear • Better protection of the surface against scratches • No increase of roughness after coating • Preservation of release properties

Moving parts that perform better with Bekaert Dylyn®/DLC Cores used on PET preforms or syringes, blow molds using PET preforms for bottles and tubes, mold cavities used in the manufacturing of lenses, cell phone screens or caps & closures, …

Your added value High wear resistance

No change of mold design needed



Consistent release

Little or no lubricants needed



Corrosion resistance

No galling or cold welding



Less maintenance

Less production stops
