Plunger lubrication

Solutions for die casting

Optimal plunger lubrication is a key factor for a stable and efficient casting process.
High-performance plunger lubricants ensure smooth and consistent die filling. At the same time, they reduce energy consumption during the shot and significantly extend the service life of plungers, plunger rings, and shot sleeves.

Plunger lubrication

Application of water-based plunger lubricants

Our water-based plunger lubricants can be flexibly adapted to your individual process conditions.
They are typically applied directly onto the plunger, ensuring optimal surface wetting. Depending on process requirements, application can be carried out either into the shot sleeve or directly onto the plunger.
