NonStick Coatings FR54 Permanent Release & Protection Spacer Varnish for Core Boxes PERMANENT RELEASE COATING FOR CORE BOXES FOR LONG LASTING RELIABLE RELEASE EFFECT In cold box core production, release effect is provided by frequently sprayed release agents, mostly based on silicon oil. These agents don t resist the erosion of core sand. Opposite the shoot nozzles, they disappear quickly. Resin starts sticking and this area must be cleaned by hard methods. Huge amounts of agent are consumed but don t solve the issue. FR54 is a cured, well adhering, robust release coating for metal cold box core boxes. It is non-wettable by core resins. The coating resists the physical attack by a rebound effect. It is non-wettable by resins. In that way it resists several hundred - up to 2000 shots. Core production has not to be stopped for cleaning intervention over the entire production batch. FR54 grants a reliable and efficient processing in cold box core production. The tools are protected against erosion wear and hard cleaning. No agent dust on the production floor is to be expected. FR54 spacer varnish is applied on metal surface of the core box. To improve adherence, a primer coat is available. FR54 is available in disposable spray cans and as liquid in metal containers. The coat is applied outside the production in a well vented area of the tool shop. It takes 2 hours for curing at room temperature. When hardened, the coated core box is put into production. Then, no other release agent is sprayed at the production floor. The coating provides reliable release effect in the production of very filigrane cores for cylinder head casting as well as for (much) bigger cores. Coat layers are between 30µm and 200µm. As no liquid agent is required, it is a dry system. No slurry of sand and agent will affect the core box tightness, no contamination of ambience is to be expected. Once worn, the coat can be easily removed by ice blasting. Let your process flow! No cleaning intervention during production Improved tightness Dry system Looks wet and sticky, but it is just the opposite! Distributed worldwide by ASK Chemicals
Diecast Coatings Extended service time Cylinder Head LPDC / GDC COATING SYSTEM FOR CYLINDER HEAD CASTING FOR RELIABLE MOULD FILLING AND EXTENDED SERVICE TIME Cylinder head casting is driven by high demands in quality, soundness of the calotte surface and the area around. The calotte area is actively cooled. No surface irritation is allowed. In other areas, many thin walled rips grant stiffness of the component. These areas are often affected by misruns. The mass volume production should not be interrupted by coat maintenance interventions. These are coatrelated challanges in cylinder head LPDC/GDC. The base coating Nanocomp V7HI adheres well on the mould. It provides excellent mould filling properties by its good insulation, adjustable by coat thickness control. The nanoceramic Top Coat Nanocomp MM12 protects the base coat and avoids irritation at the casting surface. This grants a highly improved service time. Nanocomp V7HI may be applied above 140 C. This avoids moisture defects on actively cooled mould sections after touch-ups. Insulating ingredients provide good insulation, when the coating is applied > 70µm. So, reliable mould filling is granted. Thinly applied, it can be used on the calotte side. This is the most successful setting. Roughness and insulation effect can be adjusted by dilution and coat thickness. If a very conductive setting is (locally) required, a fine layer of Nanocomp VL is the ideal, smooth alternative. With these base coatings, reliable mould filling and good DAS-values can be expected. Nanocomp MM12 is applied thinly on the base coating. It provides perfect finishing and an extremely extended service time. Coating related process interventions are avoided for 1000 castings and more. Let your process flow! Reliable mould filling Reduced quality cost Less coat maintenance interventions Improved OEE
Foundry Coatings Coatings for casting and moulding Nano-Ceramic Top-Coating for Aluminium Permanent Mould Casting NANO-CERAMIC PROTECTIVE TOP COATING IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY IN LPDC/GDC Nanocomp MM is applied thinly on the insulating base coating in LPDC or GDC moulds. With the heat energy of the floating melt, the coat sinters to a robust ceramic. Nanocomp MM provides a protective ceramic layer on the roughness of the insulating base coating. In that way it improves the robustness of the entire coating system. Service time of coating can be improved by factor 3 or more. Nanocomp MM12 doesn t provide own roughness and insulation effect. It is applied thinly on standard base coatings for aluminium permanent mould casting. The MM12 coat should only be 5-10µm. Consumption is very low. The blue colour of Nanocomp MM12 turns white after sintering in situ with the melt heat while first casting. Nanocomp MM12 doesn t affects insulation effect and roughness of base coating. It conserves these properties. The nano-ceramic layer prevents surface irritations. This is highly appreciated in wheel casting. Nanocomp MM12 provides protection against chemical, thermal and abrasive wear. Service time of coating is significantly extended. Improvement of 200% - 500% can be expected. Excellent results in wheel casting Improved service time Less shot blast and coating interventions Improved process quality Improved product quality CeraNovis provides coating for ceramic and metal substrates as well as highly insulating base coatings. Ask the CeraNovis team or your CeraNovis dealer for advice.
Foundry Coatings Coatings for casting and moulding NANOCOMP MM MM Series Nano-Ceramic Top-Coating for Aluminium Permanent Mould Casting Efficient, Reliable and Extended Processing in Aluminium GDC/LPDC Provided by Nano-Ceramic Top-Coating Nanocomp MM is applied as ultra thin top -coating on the fuctional (insulating) coating on dies for aluminium permanent mould casting. It sinters with the energy of the melt heat to a robust ceramic layer and protects the fuctional coating to provide required insulation, release and melt flow properties for 3 8 times more castings. Characteristics of functional base coating are not affected, but only service time is increased and surface finish improved.

Nano-Ceramic Coatings Nanocomp MM/ VL Wheels Coatings for LPDC/GDC Wheel Casting PROCESS EFFICIENCY IN ALUMINIUM WHEEL CASTING BY A LONG LASTING RELIABLE MOULD COATING Casting 1000 wheels without shot blast intervention is a challange in automotive wheel production. The wheel must be free of porosity, surfaces must be smooth. Each intervention provides turbulences in processing parameters. It affects the process efficiency, product quality and productivity. The Nanocomp VL Base coating grants a brilliant finishing and good mould filling. The nano-ceramic top coating Nanocomp MM12 protects the base coat from erosion and chemical wear. It grants an extremely long service. In that way, the challange can be met. Nanocomp VL was developed especially for wheel casting. It is designed for the face side of the wheel and provides a brilliant finishing. Other parties require a highly insulating coating like Nanocomp V7HI. Nanocomp MM12 is a nano-ceramic top coating. It is thinly applied to protect the base coating functions by a ceramic film. Only 25-40grs of coating are required to coat the entire wheel mould. Nanocomp MM12 provides same effect to other base coatings. It is compatible to FOSECO D39, D39ESS, D3950 as well as D140, D6 and D34. Nanocomp MM12 exceeds the service time of the base coating by its protecting effect. In addition, it grants a smooth finishing and prevents surface irritations.
