[Case Study] Surface Treatment to Enhance Release Properties of Biodegradable Plastic Molding Dies

We will introduce examples of surface treatments to enhance the release properties of biodegradable plastics and improve molding troubles.

■Concern Due to the different moldability of biodegradable plastics compared to regular plastics, there were issues with mold release in the prototypes, leading to molding troubles. ■Background We received this consultation because there is no track record of surface treatment with the materials being molded, and we do not know the appropriate surface treatment. ■Coating Adopted Bicoat Exceed NYK-2000E ■Adoption Process and Effects At Yoshida SKT, we prepared a collection of samples suitable for mold release from molding molds, and confirmed the release properties with actual plastics. We processed the well-performing NYK-2000E into the prototype mold, and it has been used without issues for several months. *Detailed surface treatment materials can be downloaded as a PDF.
