Improving Die Casting Efficiency

Achieving Quality, Efficiency, and Profitability

Quality and efficiency are critical to saving time and money on high-pressure die casting operations. Henkel BONDERITE® products are engineered with their customers in mind, formulating solutions that deliver better quality parts, reduce chemical waste, and improve operating efficiency. Specialists are available to understand your pain points and provide customized solutions.

What Can You Potentially Save?

Cycle and spray times have a significant impact on production capacity and revenue. Common inefficiencies—such as excess time required to spray and cool the die, poor adherence of the release agent, and traditional spray techniques—create longer cycle and spray times. Saving just a couple of seconds can result in massive cost savings. Henkel customers have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars upgrading their process and switching to a higher-performing BONDERITE® lubricant.

BONDERITE® High-Pressure Casting Solutions

Release Agents

BONDERITE® release agents for aluminum and magnesium die casting offer various benefits, such as high wetting temperatures and release properties to shorten cooling time, clean part surfaces for easier post-treatment processes, less buildup on dies, and high dilution ratios up to 250:1 to reduce product usage and the cost per part. Henkel also has products for micro spray applications for significant improvements in operational efficiency, cost savings, and part quality.

Plunger Lubricant

Henkel's BONDERITE® L-CA CT 5 oil-based lubricant forms a coating film on plungers and sleeves to protect them from molten metal attack, extending equipment life and preventing unplanned maintenance.

Hot Spot Lubricant

Because of its oil-based formula and wetting performance over a wide temperature range, BONDERITE® L-CA CP 786 is effective as a start-up coating or for protecting hot spots on the die.

Processing Aids

Die casting operations involve various pre- and post-processes that impact the final quality and performance of the part. Henkel provides a wide range of offerings for these processing steps.

Ladle Coating
Trim Lubricant
Machining Fluids
Process Cleaners
Corrosion Preventatives
