G.W. Smith and Sons, a QUAKER CHEMICAL company, has expanded its product portfolio for the diecasting industry with the addition of new, high-performance plunger lubricants, Plunger Slick 200T and Plunger Slick WB10T, and new robotic greases QuakerTek Axial 00-32 and QuakerTek LS 032B-EP.

Plunger Slick 200T and Plunger Slick WB10-T are a high-performance plunger lubricant formulated for aluminum diecasting operations. Engineered chemistries provide excellent boundary protection for plunger tips and shot sleeves.  Key benefits include strong adherence to plunger tip, extended tip and sleeve life reducing cycle times and clean and bright castings.

QuakerTek Axial 00-32 and QuakerTek LS 032B-EP are lithium-type greases with high wear resistance that are used in robotic gearboxes. Its semifluid consistency effectively carries sophisticated lubrication to reduction gear contact points, providing improved efficiency and extended equipment life.
