Coating Rubber and Plastics

Armoloy& TDC and XADC-Armoloy™ coatings reduce maintenance requirements and downtime in the molding industry, including injection, extrusion, blow, pultrusion, RIM and SMC applications. The life of molding components is extended with Armoloy™ coatings, particularly when glass-filled and mineral-filled resins are being formed.

 

Armoloy™ coatings increase material flow due to the smooth, micro-nodular surface produced by the coating, leading to more shots and shorter cycle times. Molding areas stay cleaner longer and require less maintenance when Armoloy™ coatings are used, and most burned-on plastic/rubber compounds can be quickly removed. Armoloy™ coatings maintain required gloss levels and enhance textured surfaces. Post-polishing can improve reflectivity to an SPE #2 level. Armoloy™ coatings can be applied to all ferrous and non-ferrous materials including beryllium copper and Ampcoloy bronze. Surface hardness is increased to 78 Rc with Armoloy™ and to 98 Rc with XADC-Armoloy™ coating.
