Traditional casting lubricants formulated with silicone can cause issues during subsequent processes such as painting and metal finishing, as silicone contamination can interfere with the adherence of paints and coatings to cast parts. Cleaners may be needed to remove silicone contamination, costing operators time and money, and some casting lubricants leave behind soils that are difficult to remove with standard cleaning products. Additionally, manufacturers that handle diverse jobs and work with various metal alloys may struggle to find die lubricants that are multimetal compatible.
Non-ferrous, medium-size castings, such as valve bodies
