Description

LUBRODAL AL 100/21 is a stable emulsion concentrate which can be sprayed on to lubricate moulds in pressure die casting of Aluminium, Magnesium and other non-ferrous metals. LUBRODAL AL 100/21 contains special additives which provide a high degree of parting efficiency. It is easy to spread in a thin layer over the die.Practical results from different areas of application (e.g. engine and gear parts) have shown that the use of LUBRODAL AL 100/21 can result in reduced porosity levels. LUBRODAL AL 100/21 does not form any protruding substances or residues in or next to the moulds. The ventilation slots are not clogged.The casting surfaces are clean and light and can be surface-treated after careful cleaning of residues.

Application

LUBRODAL AL 100/21 is supplied in concentrate form and must be diluted with water prior to using. The mixture ratio depends on the specific casting and spraying parameters and especially on die temperature and complexity of the casting. The recommended ratio for Aluminium is 1:80 to 1:120.The optimal rate of dilution has to be determined in practice. LUBRODAL AL 100/21 can be applied using hand spray guns, static and automatic spraying equipment.To achieve an effective, even coverage, use a spray with an adjustable nozzle and adjust the air-liquid ratio.We recommend that the spraying equipment be cleaned at regular intervals (once a week) by flushing through with water. The equipment should be cleaned in this way if it is going to stand idle for any period of time.
