This advanced coating technology combines the benefits of electroless nickel dispersion coatings with the outstanding properties of chromium to enhance the surfaces of copper-based mould cores. The BORDEM® Cr coating significantly increases the wear resistance of the mould cores, improves their dimensional stability over longer periods of time and facilitates the de-adhesion of the plastic parts.

BORDEM® Cr coatings are an innovative solution for mould tool construction, especially for the production of plastic parts with mould cores made of copper-based materials. This coating technology combines the benefits of electroless nickel dispersion coatings with the properties of chromium to enhance the surfaces of copper-based mould cores.

Properties

• Increased wear resistance
• Improved dimensional stability over longer periods
• Easier de-adhesion of plastic parts
• Excellent corrosion resistance

Application area

BORDEM® Cr coatings are mainly used in mould tool construction, especially in the production of plastic parts with mould cores made of copper-based materials. The coating is particularly suitable for applications where both high wear resistance and good corrosion resistance are required.

The BORDEM® Cr coating offers several significant property characteristics:

1. Increased mould core life: Improved wear resistance minimises wear on mould cores, resulting in longer tool life and reduced costs.
2. Improved dimensional accuracy: The coating ensures precise dimensional accuracy over longer periods of time, ensuring the quality of the parts produced and reducing scrap or reworking.
3. Easier de-adhesion: The BORDEM® Cr coating facilitates the de-adhesion of the plastic parts from the mould, which increases production efficiency and improves the surface quality of the finished parts.
4. Corrosion resistance: In addition to outstanding wear resistance, the coating also offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it a modern and resilient alternative to hard chrome plating.

In summary, the BORDEM® Cr coating is a specialised solution that optimises the performance and durability of mould cores in plastic injection moulding thanks to its unique properties, thus contributing to more efficient and high-quality production.
