APPLICATIONS
Die Casting
Lubrication and process solutions for aluminum, magnesium, and zinc die casting operations.
OVERVIEW
Application Overview
Die casting depends on controlled metal flow, die temperature, and parting-line release. Unitech Lubricants America supports aluminum, magnesium, and zinc die casting with die lubricants, release agents, and plunger lubrication matched to alloy, cycle time, and die design.
On aluminum programs, the focus is stable fill, reduced soldering, and consistent surface quality across high-volume housing and structural parts. Magnesium casting needs clean release and careful thermal management to limit sticking and oxidation-related defects. Zinc operations benefit from precise die and plunger lubrication that protects tooling while keeping flash and porosity under control.
Unitech participates at the die face, in the shot sleeve and plunger, and in process setup—helping casting plants improve surface finish, manufacturing consistency, and production efficiency without changing part geometry or press selection.
