Die casting BALINIT® puts pressure behind your production

The high hardness and outstanding thermal and chemical stability of the coating improve profitability and productivity, even under the most demanding conditions of use.

Lower manufacturing costs

BALINIT® protects cores, mould inserts and cavities against wear and corrosion. Longer service lives, less machine down-time, lower tool costs and minimised cleaning and maintenance expenses reduce manufacturing costs.

Better surface quality

Surface faults as a consequence of heat checking or sticking of the melt only occur after a significantly higher number of shots.

Higher process reliability

The coating reduces the sticking and surface alloying of the melt to the tool. Improved mould release, fewer core breakages, less mould damage and reduced susceptibility to locally insufficient die spray coverage; all these factors increase process reliability.
