Injection molds are important tools for plastic production, and how to store and maintain them is crucial. During the mold storage and maintenance process, moisture and oxidation of the mold will cause rust, corrosion and damage to the mold surface.
In order to ensure the normal use of the mold and extend its service life, measures must be taken to prevent the mold from moisture and oxidation. Universe Plastic Engineers will introduce the details of methods to maintain molds:
Mold storage environment
1. The storage area should be away from water sources and humid environments. Do not store in basements or humid places. Choose a dry, well-ventilated storage environment to avoid mold moisture.
2. Regularly monitor the storage temperature and humidity of the mold to avoid excessive temperature and humidity affecting the mold. Moisture-proof agents can be used to absorb moisture in the air and keep the storage environment dry.
Mold storage method
1. First make sure the mold is dry and clean, and apply lubricant and rust inhibitor to the mold parts.
2. Use plastic bags or special mold protective sleeves for packaging and sealing to prevent the mold from being exposed to air and moisture.
Regular maintenance
1. Regularly check the condition of the storage area and mold surface, and remove accumulated water and moisture in a timely manner.
2. Regularly apply a protective film of anti-rust agent on the surface of the mold to prevent oxidation and rust of the mold.
3. Regularly check the parts of the mold and promptly replace parts that are severely worn and oxidized.
Summarize
By rationally selecting the storage environment, using moisture-proof agents, packaging and sealing molds, and applying rust inhibitors, etc., the molds can be effectively prevented from getting damp.
