Electroless Nickel Plating (TM117C)
TM 117C is used on mold surfaces for both plastic and rubber molding applications, food process equipment, computer components, aerospace applications and more.
Technical Advantages
- Provides excellent release for straight, no draft cores or cavities
- Enhances resin flow, which helps increase cycle time
- Helps maintain gloss levels
- Reduces or eliminates the need for spray-on release agents
- Typical, as plated Knoop hardness: (100g load, 0.3 mil deposit): 400–460 (kg/mm)
- Uniform thickness eliminates most post-process modifications
- Excellent non-stick properties
- Can be plated on aluminum and other non-ferrous materials
- Uniform dispersion of PTFE particles throughout the coating
CAUTION – While the deposit remains viable, the PTFE particles are damaged at temperatures over 600°F. Consider UltraKoat™ for higher temperature applications.
