Corrosion Control: The Hidden Key to Mold Performance

When seconds matter, corrosion is not an option.
In plastic injection molding, cooling efficiency drives productivity — and aluminum molds, though lightweight and effective, are highly vulnerable to corrosion. This threat directly impacts uptime, output quality, and operating costs, making reliable water treatment a critical safeguard.

A leading beverage manufacturer, producing 15+ million bottles per day across 30+ sites nationwide, operates over 100 closed-loop systems with aluminum injection molds.
Despite being protected by a molybdate-based program, most systems exhibited significant corrosion, putting cooling efficiency and production reliability at risk.

Solution & Results

An extensive series of laboratory tests were carried out to formulate a specialized product for aluminum protection, enhancing the already existing second generation of FFAs.

This resulted in the development of a custom blend whose advanced inhibitor package creates a reinforced monomolecular protective film on metal surfaces, preventing any direct contact between water and aluminum while maintaining optimal heat transfer.

Replacing the existing treatment with ODYTHERM FS 500 Series quickly brought observed corrosion under control.

The product is dosed proportionally to the system volume, with a residual level of amines maintained to ensure continuous and effective protection.
