COATING
CO – COATING FOR GRAVITY DIE CASTING AND LOW PRESSURE GRAVITY DIE CASTING.
Good quality casts, in either shell casting or low gravity, need mould protection with proper paints. Purpose is to perfectly separate cast from mould, but also to:
- PROTECT MOULDS
- PROPER FEEDING
- THERMAL FLOW CONTROL BETWEEN MOULD AND MOLTEN METAL, TO IMPROVE SOLIDIFICATION
- REDUCE SHRINKING
- EASY CAST EXTRACTION
- IMPROVE SURFACE FINISHING
- COATING LONG LIFE
Different product series are suitable for Aluminium and Copper casting
Our Company is available to analyze and provide new solutions and products tailor made for customer needs
PRIMER
PLASTCOTE series, insulating or refractory.
Insulating properties are studied to adjust thermal flow mould / cast to avoid shrinking holes during cooling.
Different roughness allow to keep under control metal fluidity during casting operations.
LONG LIFE series allow for longer working cycles.
FINISHING
PLASTCOTE series has to be searched to obtain different surface finishing of the cast.
LONG LIFE series allow for longer working cycles.
Special purpose series for wheels.
FEEDING
PLASTCOTE series, highly insulating for the risers or feeding tubes, allow for molten metal temperature control, avoiding shrinking holes due to reduced feeding during cooling.

CO – COATING FOR POURING CUPS PROTECTION
Pouring cups, if not protected, are subject to high wearing.
Products used to protect metallic or ceramic cups allow:
HIGH THERMAL SHOCK RESISTANCE
MOLTEN METAL INSULATION
LONG LASTING LAYER
NON WETTABILITY BY MOLTEN METAL
EASY TO RECOVER OR FIX DURING PRODUCTION CYCLE
WATER BASED
PLASTCOTE series, usable for ceramic or metallic cups, can be insulating or Boron Nitride based.
Various possibilities of insulating grade and raw materials allow for top performance in any application.
OIL BASED
PLASTCOTE series, usable for metallic cups.
Various viscosities available allow for top performance in any application.
CO- COATING PER CERAMIC PRESHAPES
During use in contact with molten metal, all ceramic surfaces have to be protected with coatings to avoid sticking.
Proper product usage, allows for surface fine finishing and non wettability by molten metal.
GREAT SURFACE PROTECTION PROPERTIES
HIGH THERMAL SHOCK RESISTANCE
LONG LASTING PROTECTION
NON WETTING AVOID METAL STICKING
PROTECTIVE PAINTS WATER BASED FOR CERAMICS AND REFRACTORIES SURFACES
(Launders, Casting Tables, Box Filter, Cross Feeder, Ring, Hot Tops, Floats, Spouts)
IDROCOTE series: refractory, insulating, Boron nitride based
PLASTCOTE series: refractory, insulating, Boron nitride based
CO – COATING FOR INGOT MOULD
During casting operations of Al-Cu-Mg-Zn alloys in ingots, chain has to be protected with proper paints, to have:
- LAYER LONG LIFE
- NON WETTABILITY BY MOLTEN METAL
- EASY TO APPLY DURING PRODUCTION CYCLE
- EASY TO RECOVER OR FIX DURING PRODUCTION CYCLE
- THERMAL FLOW AND COOLING TIME ADJUSTMENT OF MOLTEN METAL
GRAPHITE BASED
PLASTCOTE series, specifically tailored allow for best lubrication, thermal conductivity and covering of the moulds.
Low binder version avoid heavy undesired layer thickness
INSULATING – REFRACTORY BASED
PLASTCOTE series, specifically tailored allow for best covering and insulating of the moulds.
Low binder version avoid heavy undesired layer thickness
CO – COATING FOR TOOLS IN CONTACT WITH MOLTEN METAL.
Tools that get in contact with molten metal have to be protected with coatings to avoid either metal or dross sticking. Proper coating allows to enhance useful life of the tools and equipments.
ADVANTAGES:
- NON WETTABILITY BY MOLTEN METAL
- EASY TO APPLY DURING PRODUCTION CYCLE
- EASY TO RECOVER OR FIX DURING PRODUCTION CYCLE
PLASTCOTE series products are suitable to protect tools like: skimmers, bell covers, pressing heads and containers of dross presses, dross scrapers.
