They provide:

• Reduced defects, because they produce carefully controlled surface characteristics that promote proper mold filling and release.
• Increased productivity, by protecting and insulating the mold through a long life cycle, requiring relative less downtime.
• Improved quality, because control of the mold surface is key to managing the metallurgical properties and surface finish of non-ferrous permanent mold castings.

DYCOTE permanent mold coatings are blends of insulating and lubricating refractory materials with silicate binders. They are formulated to meet a wide variety of performance and production requirements such as insulation, durability, surface texture, and lubricity. Supplied in a concentrated liquid or paste-like form, DYCOTE permanent mold coatings are easily diluted with water to provide the consistency required by individual foundries.
