Case5Coating on rubber mold


■ Content of request
Increase availability of press dies of rubber automobile parts (door lock damper cushion) Manufactured a large number, because it is manufactured with full rotation, shortening the time for mold maintenance is a challenge Currently, cleaning of the mold is done every 200 shots.
Meanwhile production stops for 3 hours. The part has a thickness of 10 mm and uses a release agent, but poor mold release.

Rubber material:NBR rubber Vulcanization condition:180℃×5min

■ Proposal contents
Select OKITSUMO NA 201 with non-stickiness, low μ, and repeated crimping characteristics. OKITSUMO NA201 MB - Unlike ordinary PTFE coats, out-gas deposits adhere to the rubber side every time due to product coatings with durability tests in crimp use, improving the number of accumulations in the mold. The adhering gas product can be removed by wiping with a thin acidic liquid, greatly improving the mold cleaning period. Coating improves mold release, improves workability, and improves worker's fatigue.

■ result
The dirty period due to outgas is extended to 500 shots, and the availability increases. As a combined effect, the mold separation was good and the work was improved.

■ problem
​​Since the air gun was pressed strongly against the same position of the mold, wear was observed.

Case20Coating on tire vulcanizing jig (bead ring)


■ Content of request
Frequent tire sticking to the upper ring after vulcanization, production delay occurred. In addition, the tire with long sticking time was deformed and became NG.

■ Proposal contents
Advance PTFE type fluorine coating excellent in releasability. It is twice as long as PTFE + mica as a requirement for durability improvement. For chipping resistance, PFA type fluorine coating is proposed again.

■ result
As a result of carrying out the trial with PTFE from the releasability, tire sticking disappeared, and mass productivity improved. However, it was judged that it was difficult to introduce it to the work site after peeling the coating film with shot blasting once every two weeks. Although somewhat sacrificing the releasability, adhesion and coating film strength were improved by adopting hard PFA + undercoat (ceramic) of the coating film, and it was adopted.

Composite coating

Case1Coating on clamp ring used in tire manufacturing process


■ Content of request
In the tire molder (former) process, slip agent was applied to preliminarily molded unvulcanized rubber and it was molded by hydraulic pressure.
If the tire can not be shaped uniformly, the balance becomes poor.
Lubricant is a foreign matter for tires, but I want to avoid using, but there is nothing to change.
For customers' requests, we carried out a typing process without using lubricant. I want to lower the defect rate.
The lubricant used is ethylene glycol, it is hygroscopic, and the ring also rusts.

Clamp ring material SS400

■ Proposal contents
Although it is difficult to reduce the coefficient of friction to liquid, PTFE is the lowest μ among solids, and it is proposed in a combined technique that plus hard asperities called blast and plating
As a result, the use of lubricant could be reduced to 2 times / day, and together therewith the deformation failure decreased.

Processing material - sandblast + Cr plating + NA 501 MB Surface roughness due to blasting is Rz 45 μm

Case2Lifespan of mold life of tennis ball mold


■ Content of request
Currently, other companies' PFA type fluorine coat was used.
This coating agent is a product which is superior in releasing and non-sticking because the surface becomes a hard and smooth film.
Even with a fluorocarbon coating with good performance, sulfur or vulcanization gas at the time of vulcanization etc. disappears in about 2 weeks and reprocessing of the fluorine coating is necessary, after deteriorating the coating film at high temperature and then shot blasting It was peeled off.
Due to frequent repetitive shot blasting, the mold gradually deviated from its original dimensions, which had a great influence on quality. As a result, it was exchanged with an average life expectancy of 2 years.

Mold material S50C

■ Proposal contents
Select PTFE resin coat as fluorine coat that can be peeled off without using hard alumina.
In order to make irregularities on the surface, shot blasting using only one time alumina is performed, and the surface is guarded with hard chromium plating. Finished with PTFE coat of 1 coat type which has proved to be rubber mold for shoe soles on it.
As a result, the releasability maintains the current state and damage to the mold during reprocessing is completed by blasting with glass beads, damage of the mold can be avoided.

Processing material - sandblast + Cr plating + NA 239 (with actual results in cooker)

Case3Increasing durability of hot plate welding plates for automobile parts

■ Content of request ①
Heat-fusing plate which was thickly painted fluorine-processed from Japan was imported for non-adhesion purpose and used.
Approximately one month after sticking of paint film dents, exposure of the substrate occurred. From the hot plate temperature of PP, from the (320 ℃) ​​it is possible to read the indentation phenomenon of the fluorine coat at present.
The fluororesin has a tendency to soften at 200 ° C. or higher, and in the welding process where machining is performed at the same position, only time is obtained by thick coating.

■ Proposal contents
Shod blasting gives the surface irregularities, guards the surface with Cr plating, and takes the form to reinforce with 1 coat PTFE coat.
The heat resistance of Cr plating is 500 ° C, and finish with 1 coat fluorine coat on this.
The result is the combination of this time and it is three times or more than the current life expectancy.
Also, I was pleased with the great merit that I did not need to send it to Japan.

Processing material - sandblast + Cr plating + NA 501 MB


■ Content of request ②
Heat-fusing plate which was fluorine-processed from Japan was imported for non-adhesion purpose and used.
It is a soft PVC welding, and it has a problem of rusting facilities such as plates due to the influence of chlorine gas.
Therefore, the plate was used disposable, and had a lot of problems in terms of cost

■ Proposal contents
We propose cost saving by upgrading processing durability and reprocessing.
Based on the above results, trial with blast + Cr plating + fluorine coat will be adopted as merit in the results and estimate price.

Processing Material - Sand Blast + Cr Plating + NA 501 GRAY (Since the PVC is black, there is an indication of gray color)
