TM80

By Tec Star S.r.l.

It is a solvent-based protective surface coating for metals, polymers, and ceramics, with anti-adhesive properties. It does not contain fluorinated compounds. It is suitable for food contact only after complete cross-linking. TM80 creates a transparent, compact surface coating that resists to abrasion, high temperatures (up to 250°C), atmospheric agents, and UV rays. It has a surface hardness of 6H (measured using a pencil test) and reduces the adhesion of dirt and bacteria. In technical terms, this creates a low surface energy coating, making the material easy to clean, even from food processing residues in industrial machinery for the food industry. It protects surfaces from fingerprints, limescale, oil, or grease. It is resistant to corrosion and oxidation. CHARACTERISTICS - It protects surfaces against corrosion/oxidation, from chlorine and in general from acids and bases substances - Anti-adherent against dirt and fingerprint - High compactness and good adhesion to multi surfaces - 6H hardness and abrasion resistance - Resistant to high temperatures (max 250°C) and UV rays - Good for Food Contact in food industry ADVANTAGES - It can be used in chemical aggressive environments - Decreased adhesion of dirt and bacteria - It creates a thin and very adherent coating, which uniformly covers even complex surfaces, without peeling off - It does not degrade in sunlight and temperature - PFAS Free BENEFITS - Increased life of the treated materials and reduced maintenance and cleaning times and costs - There are no uncovered areas, it covers the surface pores of the material, with high durability - It can be used to replace PTFE coating - It can be used to replace chrome coatings on steel AVAILABLE FORMATS TM80 is supplied in: - 250ml aluminum cans - 500ml aluminum cans Storage and shelf life TM80 must be stored in the original packaging in a dry and cool place (with a temperature not higher than 25°C and not lower than 5°C). In these conditions the product can be stored for 12 months. Usage tips TM80 is a ready-to-use product (do not dilute with solvents or other liquids). The substrate to be coated must be clean, free of oily and/or greasy substances, free of residual surfactants, and dry. To remove any residue from previous cleaning steps, use Heptane solvent. If moisture is present on the surface, TM80 reacts negatively, not forming a compact, well-adhered layer. The substrate temperature must be between 5°C and <30°C. The relative humidity must be between 30% and 80%. Depending on the size and shape of the substrate, the product can be applied by hand, with a microfiber roller, or with an airbrush. Airbrush application: - Use an HVLP system - Working pressure: 2-4 bar - Nozzle: 0.7-1 mm The airbrush must be thoroughly clean, free of solid residues and water. Clean with butyl acetate after use and before application. DO NOT apply the product in windy, sunny, or rainy conditions. TM80 has a coverage of 70-80 m²/L on non-porous materials and 40-50 m²/L on porous materials. The product must be applied only by trained personnel equipped with the appropriate PPE, as indicated in the safety data sheet. Do not clean the coated surface with substances containing Acetic Acid, Hydrofluoric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide in concentrations >= 5% in water.

STIKILOS®

STIKILOS® is a highly durable, anti-adhesive and protective nanotechnological surface coating for steel, coated steel (excluding chromed surfaces) and aluminum molds for thermoplastics materials. STIKILOS makes easier the detachment of the plastic material during the production cycle, thanks to a repellent, not sticking effect against the polymer. STIKILOS cause a better and faster mold filling, increasing production performance: increasing number of molded pieces/hour and/or average injection pressure, reducing the number of rejected or not complying pieces. STIKILOS does not modify the geometric tolerances and the surface finish of the mold (even for mirror polished surfaces) and does not leave residues on the surface of the molded material, so making possible to immediately coat the parts (with painting, metallization, etc.) without the need for intermediate cleaning and washing procedures. STIKILOS complies with European legislation, n. 10/2011 for food contact and it does not contain toxic substances for operators. CHARACTERISTICS - Ultra-thin and durable coating - Easier detachment of the plastic material during the molding cycle (preventing surface scratching by ejector pins) - No changing in geometric tolerances and in surface finish of the mold (even for mirror polished surfaces) - No residues on the surface of molded materials - Easily applicable, not contained toxic substances for the operators ADVANTAGES - Not striping coating and durability for long time - Reduced mechanical interventions for the removal of the pieces from the molds - Suitable for molds with complex geometries - The molded pieces do not require post molding cleaning processes - Easier application through spray cans BENEFITS - Reduced mold maintenance cycles, increased productivity - Reduced production material waste - Increased injection speed - Improved quality of molding process and molded products, such as embossing, reflectors, etc. - Application both for the molding of biomedical devices and in the food sector - Application before mold maintenance or storage in warehouse between one production cycle and another, protecting surfaces from oxidation. AVAILABLE FORMATS STIKILOS®is supplied in 200ml spray cans. Storage and shelf life STIKILOS® must be stored in the original packaging in a dry and cool place (with a temperature not higher than 25°C and not lower than 5°C). In these conditions the shelf life is 12 months. Usage tips STIKILOS®is a ready-to-use product in a spray can. OPTIMAL APPLICATION CONDITIONS: - DO NOT use STIKILOS in the presence of other release agents, protective agents and lubricants on the mold surface; - make sure that the mold is degreased and well cleaned, using solvents to remove any polymer residues; - DO NOT touch the surface treated with STIKILOS with hands without gloves. - Do not apply other types of protective or lubricants. APPLICATION: For better product effectiveness, it is recommended to treat the surface of the mold with STIKILOS at the beginning of the production cycle. - Shake the spray can before use; - Spray uniformly the product over the entire surface of the mold without leaving untreated areas. - A single surface coat is enough for anti-sticking properties; any excess product is removed during the initial phase of molding (at the beginning, 3-5 molded pieces may have whitish treatment residues on the surface and could be discarded). The effectiveness of the treatment remains even over several production cycles. It is necessary to renew the treatment on the mold every maintenance operations time, in the case of contamination of the treated surface. ACTIVATION TIMES: Once STIKILOS has been applied on the surface of the mold, it must be allowed to dry and react, in order to ensure good adhesion to the metal. Drying and activation takes place at room temperature in 8-9 hours, or in 1 hour heating the mold between 70°C and 100°C. After this activation time, it is possible to start injection molding process. YIELD: STIKILOS® has a yield of about 3m2 per spray can. STIKILOS® is a flammable product. ATTENTION: consult the product Safety Data Sheet.
