Water-Based Die Casting Release Agent & Forging Lubricant

Water-Based Die Casting Release Agent & Forging Lubricant

Product Description:
LubeKote 3010 is a premium colloidal graphite water-based release agent engineered for extreme metal-forming operations. While optimized for forging, its exceptional high-temperature performance makes it an effective die casting release agent for aluminum, brass, and steel applications. This micro-fine graphite formula prevents mold sticking, reduces wear, and withstands intense metal flow where conventional agents fail. Its unique dispersion system eliminates settling and ensures consistent coating integrity.

Key Features & Benefits:
✓ Superior Mold Release: Forms a resilient lubricating film at high temperatures (beyond 1000°C+).
✓ Extended Mold/Die Life: Reduces abrasive wear, lowering tooling costs and downtime.
✓ High-Temperature Stability: Performs reliably where other release agents degrade.
✓ Water-Based & Eco-Friendly: Reduces VOC emissions, waste disposal costs, and fire hazards.
✓ Excellent Wettability: Uniform particle distribution ensures complete mold coverage.
✓ Multi-Metal Compatibility: Effective for aluminum, brass, steel, and alloys.
✓ Easy Application: Spray or brush application with simple water dilution.

Technical Parameters:

Application Guide:

• Dilution: Dilute 1:5 to 1:20 with water (adjust based on part complexity).

• Pre-Coating Ingots: Dilute 1:4 to 1:10. Dip pre-heated ingots (200-250°C) for 1-3 seconds.

• Method: Apply via spray gun or brush to clean, heated dies/molds.

FAQ:

Q: Is LubeKote 3010 suitable for die casting?
A: Yes. While formulated for forging, its colloidal graphite base excels as a high-temperature die casting release agent for aluminum, brass, and steel where thermal stability is critical.

Q: How does it extend mold/die life?
A: The micro-graphite film reduces friction and prevents metal-to-die adhesion, minimizing abrasive wear and galling during ejection.

Q: Why choose water-based over oil-based?
A: Water-based agents like LubeKote 3010 offer cleaner operation, reduced smoke/fire risk, easier cleanup, and lower environmental impact.

Q: Does it require special storage?
A: Store between 5°C–40°C. Avoid freezing. Agitate before use if stored long-term.

Q: Can it be used on cold molds?
A: Optimal performance requires pre-heated dies/molds (150°C+). Graphite film formation depends on thermal activation.
