Coatings for Plastic Injection Molding

Poco Graphite and its parent company, Entegris, have developed a superior coating for plastic injection molding. UltraC™ Diamond coatings for the mold industry offer high hardness and high performance, and are very lubricious. These ultra thin carbon coatings are deposited by our proprietary PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) technique at low temperatures (<150°C). The high hardness and lubricious nature of the coatings improves the wear and abrasion resistance properties of moving components in molds. UltraC Diamond coatings can also be used to provide better release for many polymers. Our unique deposition process can be tailored to deposit coatings on three dimensional complex geometries along with depositing on a variety of substrate materials. Entegris’ UltraC Diamond coatings can boost your mold productivity and improve tool life. For more information please visit us at www.entegrisspecialtycoatings.com or call +1-781-359-3700.
