Seven application scenarios, each with a recommended series, a dilution range and a measured or program-target result. If your part is not listed, send a photo — we will match it.
Clutch housings, transmission housings, structural parts on 1,200–3,200 t machines.
Large, hot, surface-critical castings for EV structural and battery-housing applications.
Housings and frames with wall thickness below 1 mm, fast cycles, surface-critical.
Parts that go to a plating line — silicone carry-over shows up as bubbles and peeling.
Thin-wall, complex magnesium castings on 280–800 t machines.
General zinc parts, small to medium tonnage, high cycle counts.
Gigacasting-scale parts and plants with downstream surface treatment.
Send a photo, the alloy, the machine tonnage and your current release agent. We reply with a grade and a dilution starting point — and a free sample plan.
The questions buyers actually ask before the first drum. Answered without marketing language.
Start from the alloy: aluminium, magnesium and zinc require different base chemistry, and a magnesium casting will punish an aluminium grade. Send us the alloy, a part photo and your machine tonnage — we reply with a starting grade and dilution ratio.
Yes. Samples are free and each side covers one leg of the freight. Every sample ships with dilution instructions for your part type, water-quality notes and a one-page trial protocol so both sides measure the same numbers.
Deep-cavity and thin-wall requirements pull in different directions, so we usually start from the heavy-duty grade and adjust the dilution ratio, then confirm on your machine. Wall thickness, cavity depth and die temperature matter more than any specification sheet.
