Oil Based Die Casting Release Agent for Superior Performance &
Longer Die Life
Optimize your die casting process with LubeKote 3011, a
high-performance, oil based die casting release agent engineered
for demanding applications, including aluminum forging and die
casting. This advanced formulation utilizes ultra-fine graphite
particles suspended in a specialized oil carrier to deliver
exceptional lubrication and release properties right where you need
them – at the critical mold interface.
Product Description:
LubeKote 3011 is specifically designed to excel under high working
temperatures. It forms a superior, protective film on die surfaces,
ensuring clean part ejection and significantly reducing the risk of
premature die wear. Its unique blend features extreme pressure (EP)
additives that actively lower the coefficient of friction,
minimizing metal-to-die contact and galling. Crucially, LubeKote
3011 achieves this while generating low smoke and fumes, promoting
a better working environment. It also boasts low calcination
residue, meaning less buildup on dies over time, reducing downtime
for cleaning.
Key Features & Advantages:
Unmatched Release: Guarantees consistent, clean part separation
from dies, minimizing rejects.
Superior Lubrication: Ultra-fine graphite and EP additives
drastically reduce friction and protect dies from wear and scoring.
Excellent Film Formation & Coverage: Creates a durable, uniform
protective layer even on complex die geometries.
Low Smoke & Fumes: Enhances operator comfort and improves workshop
air quality during high-temperature operations.
Reduced Die Buildup: Low calcination residue translates to less
maintenance and longer intervals between die cleaning.
High-Temperature Stability: Maintains lubricity and performance at
the intense heat of die casting and forging processes.
Versatile Application: Suitable for spray guns (manual or automated
systems) or brushing.

Application Recommendations:
Apply LubeKote 3011 directly to clean, preheated dies using spray
equipment (airless preferred), automated spray systems, or manually
with a brush. Important: The graphite particles can settle during
storage and static periods. Always ensure thorough mixing or
agitation (using a system with stirring capability is ideal)
immediately before and during application to guarantee a consistent
suspension and optimal performance.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place within the temperature range of 5°C to
40°C (41°F to 104°F). Keep containers tightly sealed when not in
use. If sedimentation occurs during storage, mix vigorously until
homogeneous before use.
FAQ:
Is LubeKote 3011 specifically for die casting? While its core
design excels in high-temp forging, LubeKote 3011 is an extremely
effective oil based die casting release agent, particularly
well-suited for aluminum die casting where its high-temperature
stability, superior lubricity, and low smoke are critical
advantages.
Why is mixing/agitation so important? LubeKote 3011 contains
ultra-fine graphite particles that naturally settle over time.
Without proper agitation before and during use, the applied mixture
won't have the correct concentration of graphite, leading to
inconsistent lubrication, potential sticking, and reduced die
protection.
What are the benefits of the graphite? The ultra-fine graphite
particles provide exceptional solid lubrication, especially under
the extreme pressures and temperatures of die casting and forging.
They reduce friction, prevent metal pickup (galling), and
significantly extend die life.
How does it improve the working environment? LubeKote 3011 is
formulated for low smoke and fume generation during application
onto hot dies, contributing to better visibility and improved air
quality for operators compared to many traditional release agents.
What temperature range can it handle? With a flash point exceeding
260°C (500°F) and designed for high working temperatures, LubeKote
3011 is stable and effective under the intense heat typical of
aluminum die casting and forging processes.
