Everlube® Form-Kote® T-50 Mold Release, per gl. $320

This specification covers a lubricating coating intended for use in the hot forming of titanium metals to prevent galling in the forming operation. This product is also excellent for die casting aluminum and zinc metals. It has also been found to be of considerable value when used in tube bending or extruding. The product is designed to function as a boundary lubricant in cold forming operations and in hot forming at temperatures up to and exceeding 1500F. Physical Characteristics - The coating is a composition of lubricating pigments suspended in a modified high temperature resin binder with Toluene as the carrier. It is dull black in color and will not blister, crack or peel. Temperature - This material may be used in a temperature range of -65F to above 1500F. Use - The coating should be applied a short period of time before the mechanical operation to allow evaporation of the solvent carrier. This will allow a clean release from the mold and will prevent galling and damage to the materials in the mechanical operation.
