Coatings

 

Today’s plastic materials can be pretty rough on injection moulds. Challenges to mold maintenance extend beyond glass-fillers to include wood fibers, metal powders, flame retardants, and other additives—not to mention the resins themselves. Aggressive conditions of outgassing and moisture acidity often accompany abrasive wear resulting in a shortened mould life.

 

Surface threatments as coating can be applied to make the mould more durable. Unfortunately, there is no universal coating that is appropriate for all applications.

 

Axxicon therefore offers various coatings, each for specific application.

Grains / textures 

 

AIM mold inserts can be textured using several technologies: chemical etching, EDM, sand blasting or laser texturing. 

 

Depending on the chosen technology different results can be obtained.

 

Texture manufacturers need a written permission to replicate OEM texture’s into tooling. They only will obtain the permission 

when quality is proven. It might be possible that OEM’s prescribe specific Texture manufacturers for their textures. 

 

Axxicon will integrate the customer requirements into the tool requirements. Based on that, design rules must be met to

 

comply with OEM’s design

Chain hole 

 

A chain hole enables hanging of samples or to keep samples together with a chain. 

 

Logo / Engravings

 

Engravings like Logo’s can be added on AIM mould inserts.

 

Notches 

 

Possible are possible but standards do advise to machine them after moulding
