Optimize your die casting process with LubeKote 3011, a high-performance, oil based die casting release agent engineered for demanding applications, including aluminum forging and die casting. This advanced formulation utilizes ultra-fine graphite particles suspended in a specialized oil carrier to deliver exceptional lubrication and release properties right where you need them - at the critical mold interface.
LubeKote 3011 is specifically designed to excel under high working temperatures. It forms a superior, protective film on die surfaces, ensuring clean part ejection and significantly reducing the risk of premature die wear. Its unique blend features extreme pressure (EP) additives that actively lower the coefficient of friction, minimizing metal-to-die contact and galling. Crucially, LubeKote 3011 achieves this while generating low smoke and fumes, promoting a better working environment. It also boasts low calcination residue, meaning less buildup on dies over time, reducing downtime for cleaning.
Key Features & Advantages:
- Unmatched Release: Guarantees consistent, clean part separation from dies, minimizing rejects.
- Superior Lubrication: Ultra-fine graphite and EP additives drastically reduce friction and protect dies from wear and scoring.
- Excellent Film Formation & Coverage: Creates a durable, uniform protective layer even on complex die geometries.
- Low Smoke & Fumes: Enhances operator comfort and improves workshop air quality during high-temperature operations.
- Reduced Die Buildup: Low calcination residue translates to less maintenance and longer intervals between die cleaning.
- High-Temperature Stability: Maintains lubricity and performance at the intense heat of die casting and forging processes.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for spray guns (manual or automated systems) or brushing.

Application Recommendations:
Apply LubeKote 3011 directly to clean, preheated dies using spray equipment (airless preferred), automated spray systems, or manually with a brush. Important: The graphite particles can settle during storage and static periods. Always ensure thorough mixing or agitation (using a system with stirring capability is ideal) immediately before and during application to guarantee a consistent suspension and optimal performance.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place within the temperature range of 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F). Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. If sedimentation occurs during storage, mix vigorously until homogeneous before use.
FAQ:
1. Is LubeKote 3011 specifically for die casting?
While its core design excels in high-temp forging, LubeKote 3011 is an extremely effective oil based die casting release agent, particularly well-suited for aluminum die casting where its high-temperature stability, superior lubricity, and low smoke are critical advantages.
2. Why is mixing/agitation so important?
LubeKote 3011 contains ultra-fine graphite particles that naturally settle over time. Without proper agitation before and during use, the applied mixture won't have the correct concentration of graphite, leading to inconsistent lubrication, potential sticking, and reduced die protection.
3. What are the benefits of the graphite?
The ultra-fine graphite particles provide exceptional solid lubrication, especially under the extreme pressures and temperatures of die casting and forging. They reduce friction, prevent metal pickup (galling), and significantly extend die life.
4. How does it improve the working environment?
LubeKote 3011 is formulated for low smoke and fume generation during application onto hot dies, contributing to better visibility and improved air quality for operators compared to many traditional release agents.
5. What temperature range can it handle?
With a flash point exceeding 260°C (500°F) and designed for high working temperatures, LubeKote 3011 is stable and effective under the intense heat typical of aluminum die casting and forging processes.
