Success Stories: Low-Temperature, PVD-Based Tool Surface Coating Provides Wear Resistance to Injection Molding Applications
Low-Temperature Coating Enhances Tool Life and Performance
Using mold coatings offers numerous advantages — including longer tool life, improved tool performance and less mold maintenance needed. The last decade has seen major improvements and enhancements in surface treatment technologies.— Tool Coating Story Here
FortiPhy™ Coating Provides Longer Life for Textured Mold Surfaces
Phygen applied their FortiPhy™ coatings to critical mold surfaces at Intesys. While the initial goal of reducing abrasive wear was met, an increase in corrosion resistance and mold release properties was also seen. — Tool Coating Story Here
Phygen Makes “Impossible”
Molds Work for Custom Molder
 Phygen applied their patented plasma-accelerated FortiPhy™ coatings to J.D. Products' core pins in an “impossible” mold and improved release properties significantly. — Tool Coating Story Here
Better Release for Low-Draft,
High-Precision Details
 Harvey Bruce, of Thermotech, had a tough release problem with one of his critical thermoplastic molds. He turned to Phygen for help with this problem, and came away with three problems solved.
