DESCRIPTION

Lubricast 500T contains oxides, clays, and other unique ingredients formulated to uniformly wet hot mold surfaces. This product affords the textured finish desired to produce sound aluminum castings. In addition, Lubricast 500T is non-Corrosive, controls the solidification rate of the molten metal, prevents ordering, and is easily removed when required. Lubricast 500T has been explicitly formulated for thin walls and small to medium-sized castings.

APPLICATION

Lubricast 500T is diluted with 2 to 3 parts water and sprayed or brushed on hot mold surfaces. The recommended mold temperatures for coating range from 250°F to 400°F. When applied with proper techniques, cast surfaces will have the desired matte or textured finish.

Gates and Risers: Lubricast 500T is generally brushed on as received. Some operators dilute with 1 to 2 parts water and brush thin, multiple coats until the required thickness is obtained. Coating repairs and build-up can be achieved at high temperatures. However, chipping, flaking, and loss of coating life sometimes occur when the coating is applied too thick.
