Du Wei Enterprise Company of Taiwan has selected Vicote coatings to enhance the performance of its shoe moulds.
Vicote is a tough, high-wear-resistant coating that is said to be more effective than traditional mould release agents.
Based on a Victrex Peek polymer, a high-performance thermoplastic, a Vicote coating has a lifetime of up to one-and-a-half months (about 5,000 cycles), which is 30 times greater than PTFE.
Used to produce shoes made of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) resin, the two-colour shoe moulds are subject to extreme high temperature and aggressive environment, placing added demands on materials.
With the continuous-use temperature of 260C (500F) and the ability to maintain mechanical properties in high-temperature operating environments, Vicote coatings can address the challenges facing shoe mould manufacturers.
Gary Li, senior market development manager of Victrex, said: 'The Vicote coating is a tough, resilient and high-wear-resistant coating with varying levels of lubricants to provide good release properties.'.
