Calibration and extrusion equipment
Steel as well as brass calibration and extrusion tools can be coated with Lunac 2+. In this application the gain of service time can be tremendous due to the ceramic surface nature of Lunac 2+.
A highly wear resistant Lunac 2+ coated brass calibration plate in operation at the processing of, in this case, titanium dioxide filled PVC. The Lunac 2+ coating delivers a product with almost never any die line anymore during its service time as well as no black stripes. The heat conductance of these brass plates has almost been conserved completely ( The 'trail' just right of the middle showed an 80-fold reduced wear, compared to the none coated brass part before). In practice these parts last for at least 7 years in case of intensive production instead of a few month.
These 2 calibration plates were tested under simultaneous conditions (sleeve vacuum and product speed). The white product manufactured on the Lunac 2+ coated plate was not only free of any black tarnish, but wear out 80 times slower than the original brass plate, without significantly loosing its heat conduction capacity.
