TOPIC: Surface Treating Ejector Lifts
 

Submitted: August, 2001

I have a mold with H-13 ejector lifts and H-13 core. I would like to surface treat the ejector lifts, but I need a surface treatment that will also serve as a release agent for the cavity detail cut into the ejector lifts. Do you have any suggestions for such a treatment and who can do this? I will listen to any suggestions.

There are several surface treatments currently being used. NiHard is an electroless nickel with cobalt. The surface hardness is 62 Rc. Another surface treatment is Nicklon. This also is an electroless application with teflon. It improves release with PVC, K-Resin, PolyPro, Flexible Vinyl, Nylon Polystyrene, ABS and Polyurethane.

Both of the above mentioned surface treatments can be provided by Bales Mold Service. They can be contacted at 1-800-215-MOLD.
