Quaker Houghton’s DIE SLICK AH K series Die Release agents and technology

Water-free die release agents and technology specially developed for optimum performance

The DIE SLICK AH K series of water-free die-release agents and electrostatic spray technology are specially developed to achieve optimum release for high pressure die cast engine, powertrain and structural automotive parts.
Greatly outperforming water-based and micro-spray release agents, the DIE SLICK AH K series – together with electrostatic spray technology – is the ultimate solution for die casting release.

The benefits of WFR agents

Reduces cost of production

DIE SLICK AH K die release agents reduce costs by up to 85% versus water-based die release alternatives, thanks to reduced agent and water consumption, as well as lower operating, tooling and maintenance costs

A sustainable method of impregnation

Zero water requirement and only 1/1000 release agent consumption per cycle greatly reduces the resources required by water-based agents

High temperature performance

DIE SLICK AH K series agents are proven to work effectively at die temperatures exceeding 300°C

Excellent adhesion and lubricity properties

The DIE SLICK AH K series is developed to give the optimum levels of adhesion and lubricity at high temperatures

Eliminates die heat cracks

DIE SLICK AH K series agents have no cooling effect on die surface temperature, preventing heat cracks and extending die life

High anti-soldering performance

The high adhesion efficiency of the DIE SLICK AH K series prevents soldering and galling

Non-flammable

DIE SLICK AH K series die release agents are non-flammable when in liquid and vapor form, including when in direct contact with molten aluminum

Ultimate quality assured

Using electrostatic spray technology, the DIE SLICK AH K series agents provide a more extensive and thick film than air spray gun methods, ensuring complete coverage and excellent product quality
