Special Die Steel

What is Procerax ?
Porous Composition: PORCERAX II® is a metal with a pumice-like composition. PORCERAX II® metallic dies are 20-30% porous by volume due to a system of interconnected pores. Average pore diameter is 10µm.





Effective Gas Release: Resin shrinkage generally occurs when a layer of air or gas is trapped between the mold surface and the resin. PORCERAX II® allows the extraction of this gas, avoiding the problems of shrinkage and uneven luster due to irregular adhesion of the resin to the mold surface.



Partial Usage: PORCERAX II® can be used as part of a die. PORCERAX® is used at specifically chosen points in order to release gases during injection.

One Piece Forming: PORCERAX II® simplifies die structure and gating systems through one piece forming.

Due to its excellent permeability, PORCERAX II® is ideal for injection molding applications. This permeability is a result of Porcerax's porosity, which allows gases and air to be extracted through the material itself, eliminating gas-related defects. When used as a die material for injection molding, PORCERAX II® can be worked and machined just like conventional die materials using processes such as EDM machining, etching, cutting and grinding.
