Plunger beads

It is our great pleasure to introduce our latest generation of beads as dry plunger lubricant with revolutionised lubricating qualities.
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing plant is now in operation. Based on 40 years of Research & Development, as well as feedback from our customers, we can claim that our products are today considered the most advanced on the international Die-Casting market.

WHITE BEADS – PLUNGER LUBRICANT, containing white pigments

Our newest development, Isolat 95W, is a valuable asset in addition to our product portfolio. These “white beads” offer excellent lubricating properties due to a solid content of approx. 20%, consisting of a unique mixture of micronised white lubrication pigments. Due to this high solid content, the quantity per shot can be reduced significantly, in comparison to white beads without solids. The congealing point of Isolat 95W is >95°C. The bulk density ranges from 0.55-0.65, depending on the fraction.

To meet customers’ requirements, Isolat 95W is available in different sizes:
