Tyre Molds

In a very competitive tyre market, cost-effective maintenance of press molds is crucial.

Tyre manufacturers need a lubricant that gives long lubrication intervals and consistent quality.

IKV Lubricants can meet this challenge by offering a grease that will effectively lubricate segmented tire molds for a complete tire production run, and produce high quality tires day in and day out.

    IKV-FLUOR TA 3Hs a cost-effective tyre mold lubricant for segmented tyre molds which offers:-
 

  •     Long lasting lubrication! (up to 6 weeks re-generation cycle)
     
  •     Lower lubricant quantities required       
     
  •     Cleaner molds
     
  •     Elimination of Hydrocarbons in steam system and heaters, thus  less wear and corrosion of the heaters and reduced replacement of  instruments on the steam line (pressure switches, pressure gauges) etc.
     
  •     Better, tighter mold segment fit
     
  •     Less wear on mold segment
     
  •     Smoother release of mold segment
     
  •     Higher quality, more consistent product

Tyre Molds

IKV-FLUOR TA 3H is a cost-effective tyre mold lubricant for segmented tyre molds. 

Tyre manufacturers found in testing that IKV-FLUOR TA 3H is a cost-effective long-term lubricant for its tyre molds. 

IKV-FLUOR TA 3H demonstrated continued excellent performance. IKV-FLUOR TA 3H can be used on all types of segmented molds (steam heated and electrically heated) and all types of sliding metal surfaces. Its color is white and very distinguishable, leading to efficient and complete coverage of metal surfaces and easily preventing inadvertent and unnoticed contamination of tyres.

 Advantages of using IKV FLUOR TA 3H GREASE:-

  • Reduced equipment maintenance costs - IKV-FLUOR TA 3H allows the operators to significantly increase production by extending re-lubrication intervals and preventing tyre defects due to cross contamination that typically occurs with more conventional lubricants.
     
  • The IKV-FLUOR TA 3H is chemically inert and unaffected by steam and hot water. It will withstand temperatures up to 300°C and does not carbonize or fume.
     
  • IKV-FLUOR TA 3H is easy to apply and offers strong adhesion to clean metal surfaces.
     
  • The IKV-FLUOR TA 3H allows longer intervals between re-lubrication and, in many cases, will last the full production run.
     
  • The IKV-FLUOR TA 3H lowers the friction coefficient and eliminates residues thus allowing tighter closing segments, reducing the risk of whiskers and flashing.
Application Methods

Initial applications for cleaned segment, apply with a clean brush or auto body putty knife.

Subsequent applications apply with a clean brush, auto body putty knife or paint roller (20mm OD X 80mm to 100mm wide of a short hair nap).

Some plants use an air gun with our 500 g cartridges as an applicator.
