For Permanent Mold or Low-Pressure Casting with Aluminum & Magnesium
Get Teflon®-like Mold Release and Mirror-like Surface Finish

Boron Nitride Releasecoat® and Boron Nitride Releasecoat-BLUE®
Provide Teflon®-like release for easy casting removal and COSMETIC surface finish.
1. Apply Your Regular Brand of Thermal Coating. Use one of many available fine quality thermal insulating mold coatings directly on the mold -- just as you do now. This is necessary to provide the required thermal insulation for permanent mold casting. DON'T STOP HERE!

If you need improved casting release in low draft regions or if you need the absolute very best surface finish -- READ ON.

2. Apply Top Coating of Releasecoat® For Maxium Release and Surface Finish. Selectively apply a thin, economical top coating of Releasecoat® over the thermal insulating of Step1. For best economy, just apply Releasecoat® in those mold areas needing the Teflon®-like release and/or improved surface finish.

Releasecoat® is easily air-sprayed onto hot or cold molds using any spray equipment. Releasecoat®is safe, water-based, non-toxic and emits only water vapor upon heating. Operators are not exposed to any toxic or irritating gases!

3. Easily Touch-up as Needed without Stopping Production. Periodically touch-up the molds by spraying Releasecoat® onto the hot molds WITHOUT STOPPING PRODUCTION. Dries on contact with hot molds.

Think BLUE     Think ZYP - - - The permanently-blue-colored version allows greater visibility.
PERMANENT MOLDERS:
These Releasecoat® economical, lowest-cost boron nitride paints will make any surface non-wetting to molten aluminum and magnesium, while providing "cosmetic" surface finishes for low-pressure diecasting and permanent molds -- truly superior release for Low-Draft regions.
WHY TWO COATS?
A. The thermal insulating coating works, but not very well for low-draft, high-drag regions, and usually provides poor surface finish.

B. Release agents added to a thermal insulating coating only slightly improve release and surface finish.

C. A top coating of Releasecoat® provides the absolute maximum release agent in contact with the molten metal for the very best release and surface finish. The two-coat system cannot be beat!

D. Wouldn't you like to make a simple change that would improve cycle time, uptime, scrap rate, quality and throughput after you have a job?
