Long Life Die Coats for GDC, LPDC from John Winter, UK

John Winter Long Life Dytek range of insulated coatings are specifically designed to:

1. Dytek range of insulated coatings are for use in low pressure and gravity die casting applications.
2. Helps to increase productivity and reduce the downtime
3. Give a “Longer Life” (LL) protection of the die – more shots per application
   • Made from highly insulating refractory materials, bonded together with a higher heat resisting binder gives longer protection to the die from wear and erosion caused by repeated exposure to hot molten metal.
4. Provide insulation enabling control of cooling and solidification – reduced porosity
   • A range of coatings that can be used to insulate specific parts of the die to promote directional solidification.
5. Lubricate enabling easier release of the casting from the die – less damage to die.
   • In difficult cases Dytek G is specifically designed solid lubricant based costing to be applied on top of an insulating coating to ease release of the casting from the dye.
6. Provide a smooth surface – producing a high quality surface finish
7. Textured to enable enhanced metal flow reducing cold shuts and entrapped gas.
   • Using an engineered blend of refractory and or insulating components of specific particle size creates the surface texture required for the specific customer application.

John Winter has multiple grades for various applications
