Electrostatics - Leap into a sustainable technology of the future

Improving sustainability performance while at the same time reducing energy and raw material usage, especially when faced with intense international competition, are the declared goals for the European die casting industry.

Another key objective is the optimization of existing application systems for minimum quantity lubrication. Here, it is by using Lubrolene state-of-the-art, patented, electrostatic die release agents and application technology from Quaker Houghton that die casters can achieve unrivalled release, quality, cost, and sustainability performance.

It is the only solution currently available that can technically maximize such additional die casting process improvements and is already proven in numerous applications globally in the automotive industry.

The unique, additional advantages of electrostatic die release agent application compared to the classic application of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) in Al die casting:

As is well known, the process of micro-spraying can already save considerable resources in the field of energy and raw materials and at the same time significantly reduce the burden on the environment, but:

1.    The electrostatic die release agent application extends the die life significantly longer than with conventional micro-spraying.

2.    The well-known reductions in energy consumption of the diecasting cells, due to the use of MQL, can also be significantly exceeded.

3.    The elimination of water consumption and thus reduction of the general volume of wastewater in a foundry, offers a further considerable savings potential.

4.    The resulting significantly reduced reject rate will significantly reduce the CO2 footprint.
