Plastics Cladding Applications

Extrusion Dies  Conforma Clad-protected extrusion dies last longer and sustain maximum performance levels by maintaining critical component geometries for extended run times. Our cloth delivery system enables densely packed tungsten carbide to be uniformly applied to complex geometries, providing a protective barrier that wears at a uniform and predictable rate.   Features & Benefits  Superior abrasion and corrosion resistance - reduces wear and improves component life. Metallurgically bonded cladding - optimizes heat transfer and is resistant to chipping and flaking. Dense, uniform cladding - provides consistent and predictable wear. Extrusion Components Cladding Specifications Substrates  Cladding can be applied to most carbon steels, stainless steels and alloy steels. Temperature Continuous operation at temperatures up to 1900 degrees F (1038 degrees C) with nominal performance impact. Able to withsatnd transients in excess of 2000 degree F. Compatibility Compatible with chemicals commonly found in industrial environments, including hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid.                   Custom Die Solutions We offer a wide range of dies to fit an assortment of extruder configurations. Whatever your needs, Conforma Clad will work with you in designing and developing a custom solution. Our team of application engineers and material scientists will evaluate your application and recommend a cost-effective solution.   How to Order For questions, request for quotations, or to place an order, please contact our Plastics Application Engineering team at 888.289.4590 (toll-free) or 812.948.2118.    We will need to following information to process your quotation: Extruder type and bore size Barrel type (closed, open, combi, etc...)
