New Smart Polymer™ Technology in Die Release Agents

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Sept. 22, 2016

• Lost production time
• Complications with solder on the casting
• Extra die maintenance

To solve these challenges, Quaker Chemical Corporation (NYSE: KWR, "Quaker") developed Smart Polymer™ Technology, a heat activated additive. DIE SLICK^® die lubricants with Smart Polymer™ Technology are able to form an evenly distributed, tough, protective die coating when exposed to hot areas of the die, but do not accumulate residue in cooler areas. This unique property translates to:

• Reduced solder on castings
• Increased productivity
• Enhanced release and wetting characteristics
• Bright and clean castings

Quaker will be exhibiting at the 2016 NADCA Die Casting Congress & Tabletop in Booth 402 with their Die Casting product line, including die release agents with Smart Polymer™ Technology, plunger lubricants, ladle coatings, trim lubricants and QUINTOLUBRIC^® fire-resistant hydraulic fluids.  The show will be held from September 26^th to 28^th at the Greater Columbus Convention Center .  Visit http://www.quakerchem.com/NADCA2016 for more information and the full Die Casting product line offerings.
