Use Instructions

Suinco Mould Coatings are not soluble in water. It use requires forming a suspension in water that must be maintained through continuos agitation.

A proper mixing is obtained by moderate mechanical (200 - 650 rpm) agitation.

If air agitation is used, care must be taken in order to avoid the presence of oil droplets in the compressed air.

To prepare, load the mixing tank with 75 % of the water required and then, under agitation, slowly pour all Suinco Mould Coatings until achieving its complete dispersion. Finally add the remaining water until obtaining the wished density.
 

Density required for casting copper anodes
EXTRAMOULD 8 to 12 Bé 1,058 to 1,090 gr/cc
MOULDEX 3.5 to 5 Bé 1,024 to 1,035 gr/cc

The application of  Suinco Mould Coatings on the mold surface can be done manually or automatically.

Normally automatic compressed air spray guns are used.
It is highly recommended to install a 100 mesh filter in the line between the mold dressing preparation tank and the guns in order to avoid tip clogging.

To work properly, it is important that the film coating on the mold surface be complete and homogeneous without blotches or streakiness. To achieve this, some parameters like the pressure of the atomization air, the gun tips diameter and the height of the guns from the mold surface, must be periodically checked to produce a good spraying.

It must be observed that the thin layer of Suinco Mould Coatings adhered to the mold be thoroughly dries before the filling. This means that the water of the suspension has been totally evaporated by the temperature of the molds.
