Overview
BONDERITE® L-CA 395 (also known as Dag® 395) is a water-based diecasting lubricant that contains refractory pigments. BONDERITE® L-CA 395 is formulated to be an insulating coating for aluminum permanent mold casting, and provides controlled solidification of the molten metal to achieve higher quality castings. BONDERITE® L-CA 395 is recommended for small to medium surface area castings to achieve good surface finish.
BONDERITE® L-GP PRODAG is often used as a graphite release agent in conjunction with BONDERITE® L-CA 395. BONDERITE® L-GP PRODAG is sprayed over BONDERITE® L-CA 395 to achieve good surface finish, excellent release and extend the life of the mold coating.

Applications
Diluted BONDERITE® L-CA 395 should be sprayed to ensure a uniform coating, however BONDERITE® L-CA 395 can also be brushed. Recommended starting dilution is 1:4 (BONDERITE® L-CA 395:water); the final dilution varies depending on the application. The concentrate should be agitated before and during dilution, and stirred occasionally during use. Mold surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned and heated to at least 177°-204°C (350°-400°F) for fast evaporation and good film formation.
