Injection Molding Success Stories

Longer Life for Textured Mold Surfaces

Phygen applied their FortiPhy™ coatings to critical mold surfaces at Intesys. While the initial goal of reducing abrasive wear was met, an increase in corrosion resistance and mold release properties was also seen. — more story here

Phygen Makes “Impossible” Molds Work for Custom Molder

Phygen coatings for dies, molds and tools used in metal forming, die casting and injection molding applications. FortiPhy CrN ultra-endurance coatings keep critical tools running longer. Tool surface coating ends galling, reduces lubrication and provides higher wear resistance.Phygen applied their patented plasma-accelerated FortiPhy™ coatings to J.D. Products' core pins in an “impossible” mold and improved release properties significantly. — more story here

Better Release for Low-Draft, High-Precision Details

Injection molding components can fail after only a short run and the challenge is to maintain the quality of precise well-finished, uniform parts. FortiPhy metal surface coatings by Phygen significantly reduce friction and corrosion resistance to keep high-output injection molds running smoothly.Harvey Bruce, of Thermotech, had a tough release problem with one of his critical thermoplastic molds. He turned to Phygen for help with this problem, and came away with three problems solved. — more story here

High-Performance Coating Resists Abrasive Wear at Square D

In 2000, Square D began testing Phygen coatings on its high-wear tooling components.  “The FortiPhy coating seems to work extremely well—even with out abrasive materials,” says Chad Nadgwick, tool room manager.  “Phygen’s FortiPhy coating seems to be pretty remarkable.” — more story here

High-Performance Coating Helps Mold Maker Supply Superior Tooling

Bill Stommen is president of Stommen Engineering, Osseo, MN.  Stommen Engineering is a builder of close-tolerance plastic injection molds, predominately for the medical industry. — more story here
