High-Pressure Die Casting – Die Casting Release Agents and Auxiliary Products


     As a leading domestic manufacturer, GKR Metalurji A.Ş. develops and produces water-based die casting release agent technologies specifically designed for aluminum high-pressure die casting applications. These solutions ensure high efficiency, process reliability, and sustainability even under the most demanding production conditions.

     Our specially formulated die casting release agents form a stable film layer on die surfaces during casting, improving surface quality and reducing defective parts. Widely used in aluminum die casting operations, these water-based agents not only enhance operator safety but also comply with modern environmental sustainability standards.

     With their advanced formulations, our products offer high bacterial resistance, preventing microbial degradation during storage and extended use. Furthermore, they maintain performance even when used with hard water, eliminating issues caused by variations in water quality.

     Our water-based release agents, with high dilution capabilities, provide economic usage advantages while minimizing thermal fatigue on dies, reducing maintenance requirements, and supporting uninterrupted production flow.

     As part of the Waltech Lubrication product portfolio—developed and manufactured by GKR Metalurji A.Ş.—graphite paste is used as an auxiliary release solution for complex and intricate part geometries where standard water-based systems may fall short. Applied manually to specific areas on the die, it provides strong film resistance and ensures dimensional and surface consistency.

     Additionally, start-up pastes, also manufactured by GKR Metalurji A.Ş., are used during the initial commissioning of new dies. These pastes assist in achieving proper surface contact and provide fine-tuning, helping protect the die surface and enhance the quality of initial castings.

    In high-pressure die casting, build the road to operational excellence with Waltech Lubrication’s water-based die casting release agents and complementary solutions—proudly developed and produced by GKR Metalurji A.Ş.
