3 In plastic part manufacturing it is all about uptime and increasing speed. Maintenance cycles are a crucial component of manufacturing costs. DLC coatings can bring you to the next mold parts and form giving mold parts : unique Coating recipesWe have separated mold components into two functional groups having unique functions and for this reason use different types of coatings for each group. The reasons for the group split and the unique properties that optimize Coating performance for each group are shown below. Moving mold componentsUnique benefits: reduce operational costs by increasing lifetime of mold components Less wear so longer life of moving parts Less galling Increased protection against corrosion Less or even no use of lubricants Less and shorter start and stop of machinesMoving parts that perform better with Bekaert Dylyn /DLC Ejector pins, sliders, thread cores, ejector sleeves, leader pins, collapsible cores, wear plates.

4 Form-giving mold componentsUnique benefit: increase up time by lubricant free production Less build up of residues on the mold surface Better protection against corrosion Less abrasive wear Better protection of the surface against scratches No increase of roughness after Coating Preservation of release propertiesMoving parts that perform better with Bekaert Dylyn /DLC Cores used on PET preforms or syringes, blow molds using PET preforms for bottles and tubes, mold cavities used in the manufacturing of lenses, cell phone screens or caps & closures, ..Mobile phone | EjectorsBekaert-DLC is part of the Bekaert-Group. Bekaert s business is built on two core competences: advanced metal transformation and advanced materials and coatings. The combination of these competences makes Bekaert unique. Bekaert quickly became a leading supplier of high quality diamond-like coatings in a defined number of key-segments.

5 During previous years, Bekaert together with our customer have defined specific Coating -formulas for plastic injection molds. Our coatings are marketed world-wide under the trade name Dylyn /DLC. Depending on the specific function of the part, we can adapt our Coating recipe to give you the properties you need. Low surface energy Low Coating thickness (2-3 m) Low microporosity Low deposition temperature High hardness Biocompatible Low friction Conformal coatingCoating propertiesYour added valueSight glasses of mobile phones | Mold inserts High wear resistance No change of mold design needed Consistent release Little or no lubricants needed Corrosion resistance No galling or cold welding Less maintenance Less production stopsSyringes | Ejector bushingsMedical | Ejector pinsCaps & closures | Thread cores & ejector sleeves Caps & closures | Caps for nail varnish bottlesPET preform | CoresPET bottles | Blow moldCost savings analysisFind out if your company will benefit from the use of Dylyn /DLC coatings.
