[Case Study] Surface Treatment to Enhance Release Properties of Biodegradable Plastic Molding Dies
BICOAT
We will introduce examples of surface treatments to enhance the release properties of biodegradable plastics and improve molding troubles.
■Concern Due to the different moldability of biodegradable plastics compared to regular plastics, there were issues with mold release in the prototypes, leading to molding troubles. ■Background We received this consultation because there is no track record of surface treatment with the materials being molded, and we do not know the appropriate surface treatment. ■Coating Adopted Bicoat Exceed NYK-2000E ■Adoption Process and Effects At Yoshida SKT, we prepared a collection of samples suitable for mold release from molding molds, and confirmed the release properties with actual plastics. We processed the well-performing NYK-2000E into the prototype mold, and it has been used without issues for several months. *Detailed surface treatment materials can be downloaded as a PDF.
