COATING ALUMINUM FOR PROTECTION

Join Harry Raimondi, the Technical Service Manager at Bales Metal Surface solutions, as he explains the importance of coating aluminum for protection. Harry has been in the mold making and surface solution industries for over 30 years.

Harry will explain how plating can be applied to aluminum molds for a variety of benefits including: protection, increased production, maintain thermal conductivity and improved part release.

This low temperature application can turn your prototype mold into a long lasting production mold. Plating is also a successful way to maintain the proper finish for consistent output.
