PVD coatings are often used on plastic injection molding and aluminum die casting tools to improve the functionality and lifespan of the tools. We apply a thin, hard and wear-resistant layer to the tool parts with the following advantages: 1. Improved wear resistance: PVD coatings significantly improve the wear resistance of tools, reducing the need for frequent tool maintenance and replacement. 2. Reduced Friction: PVD coatings can reduce the coefficient of friction between the tool surface and the injection molded plastic material/aluminum, helping to make the injection/molding process smoother and less stress on the tool. 3. Corrosion protection: PVD coatings can protect the surface of tools from corrosion that can be caused by chemical reactions between the tool and the injection material or environmental influences. 4. Improved ejection properties: PVD coatings improve the ejection properties of injection/cast products from the tool. 5. Reducing the "diesel effect". In summary, the use of PVD coatings in injection molding and casting applications helps improve productivity, reduce costs, and improve the quality of injection/cast products.
