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.
