INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN MOULD RELEASE AGENTS

Abstract

The drive for improved fuel efficiencies in the automobile industry has led to continuing growth in aluminium
die casting as manufacturers strive to reduce the weight of automobiles by replacing steel with light metal components.
Larger and more complex parts are being cast and this has set new challenges to die casters in their
quest for improved quality and productivity. The paper examines the impact of these trends on die lubrication
and discusses an innovative lubrication technology that has evolved to satisfy these requirements.
