Water-Based Die Casting Release Agent & Forging Lubricant
Product Description:
LubeKote 3010 is a premium colloidal graphite water-based release
agent engineered for extreme metal-forming operations. While
optimized for forging, its exceptional high-temperature performance
makes it an effective die casting release agent for aluminum,
brass, and steel applications. This micro-fine graphite formula
prevents mold sticking, reduces wear, and withstands intense metal
flow where conventional agents fail. Its unique dispersion system
eliminates settling and ensures consistent coating integrity.
Key Features & Benefits:
✓ Superior Mold Release: Forms a resilient lubricating film at high
temperatures (beyond 1000°C+).
✓ Extended Mold/Die Life: Reduces abrasive wear, lowering tooling
costs and downtime.
✓ High-Temperature Stability: Performs reliably where other release
agents degrade.
✓ Water-Based & Eco-Friendly: Reduces VOC emissions, waste disposal
costs, and fire hazards.
✓ Excellent Wettability: Uniform particle distribution ensures
complete mold coverage.
✓ Multi-Metal Compatibility: Effective for aluminum, brass, steel,
and alloys.
✓ Easy Application: Spray or brush application with simple water
dilution.

Application Guide:
Dilution: Dilute 1:5 to 1:20 with water (adjust based on part
complexity).
Pre-Coating Ingots: Dilute 1:4 to 1:10. Dip pre-heated ingots
(200-250°C) for 1-3 seconds.
Method: Apply via spray gun or brush to clean, heated dies/molds.
FAQ:
Q: Is LubeKote 3010 suitable for die casting?
A: Yes. While formulated for forging, its colloidal graphite base
excels as a high-temperature die casting release agent for
aluminum, brass, and steel where thermal stability is critical.
Q: How does it extend mold/die life?
A: The micro-graphite film reduces friction and prevents
metal-to-die adhesion, minimizing abrasive wear and galling during
ejection.
Q: Why choose water-based over oil-based?
A: Water-based agents like LubeKote 3010 offer cleaner operation,
reduced smoke/fire risk, easier cleanup, and lower environmental
impact.
Q: Does it require special storage?
A: Store between 5°C–40°C. Avoid freezing. Agitate before use if
stored long-term.
Q: Can it be used on cold molds?
A: Optimal performance requires pre-heated dies/molds (150°C+).
Graphite film formation depends on thermal activation.
