Overview
BONDERITE® L-CA 193 (previously known as DAG 193) functions as a water-based, soft-paste insulator coating during aluminum permanent mold casting operations. This specialized coating is essential in controlling the solidification of molten metal, ensuring high-quality, consistent castings. It protects the mold surface from potential damages that can occur during the casting process. Moreover, since it is nontoxic and nonflammable, it enhances workplace safety significantly by reducing potential hazards associated with traditional casting substances. The smokeless nature of BONDERITE® L-CA 193 further minimizes air pollutants, contributing to a cleaner working environment. Additionally, its compatibility with other products commonly used during aluminum permanent mold casting makes it a versatile choice for metalworking specialists seeking to optimize operations. BONDERITE® L-CA 193 can be brushed or spray applied for a smooth, uniform coating.
