The high efficiency release agent HERA^TM from Chem-Trend enables die casters to modify their release agent application method and equipment for process optimization. However, this shift from conventional to HERA^TM requires a major change in application method and equipment. An automotive parts manufacturer engaged with Chem-Trend to implement this approach to release agents. The company was able to achieve positive results with little disruption.

Working alongside with the automotive parts manufacturer, Chem-Trend analyzed, customized, tested, and implemented the new process. By pairing the HERA^TM product with new equipment and processes, they aimed to improve all aspects to exceed previous results.

VEINO ULTRA 2000 offers an excellent release effect at a dosage of only 0.5 - 2%, leading to lower amounts of release agent usage and increased tool availability. (Ask Chemicals)

Improved die life through reduced thermal shock

Efficient single-position spray application

Reduced usage of plant air

Improved process reliability

Several sustainability advantages

Less product and less waste
