Metal-flow: Die Casting Release Agent


Prolific Heating International Co., Ltd (PHI) has teamed up with MetalFlow to deliver top-quality Die Casting Release Agents in Thailand. We focus on providing customized solutions to solve specific customer problems, with MetalFlow’s R&D department offering expert support and guidance. This partnership ensures clients receive superior products and services, boosting their operational efficiency.

MetalFlow brings 40 years of expertise in developing pressure-casting release agents for the metal industry. Our cutting-edge lubricants and auxiliary products optimize processes, improve waste management, and meet strict environmental regulations. By leveraging our proprietary technologies, we offer highly effective solutions to tackle the most demanding challenges in the die-casting industry.

The industrial applications of the release agents are:

  • High-Pressure Die Casting
  • Machining
  • Forging
  • Gravity & Low-Pressure Die Casting
  • Cleaning
  • Protection

The first wax-free release agent that works on any type of parts.

Our technology is engineered to prevent residue build-up on the cold surfaces of molds, as well as on chill vents and vacuum filters. This minimizes the occurrence of porosity and brown spots on the parts. NEOSIL products enable the easy demolding of complex parts of any size.

NEOSIL offers superior stability compared to traditional release agents. Its innovative formulation ensures less deterioration and greater effectiveness, providing enhanced performance and durability during demolding processes.

We evolve our formulas to offer the best solutions to our client’s challenges

Water-based release agents

CASTFLOW products are water-based release agents that can be diluted. They are designed to form an excellent film across a wide temperature range, minimize product waste due to overuse, and protect dies from metallization and oxidation. This ensures the highest cleanliness, perfect finishes, and reduced cycle times.

Highlights

  • Excellent lubrication properties to achieve an easy extraction of the part.
  • High efficiency in a wide temperature range.
  • Facilitate the flow of the molten metal to ensure an optimal filling
  • Exclusive additives to optimize the cooling of the die.
  • Compatible with recirculation and recycling system.
  • Avoid pipes and nozzles from clogging.
  • Extend the die life, avoiding metallization and oxidation
