How to Prevent Moisture and Oxidation of Injection Molds
Preventing moisture and oxidation of injection molds is a crucial aspect of mold maintenance, directly affecting the mold's service life and product quality. Here are some effective preventive measures:
Clean and Dry Environment：
Storage Environment: Molds should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated environment. Avoid direct sunlight high temperature and humidity.
Regular Cleaning: Regularly wipe the mold surface with a clean, soft cloth to remove dust, oil, and other contaminants.
Dehumidification Measures: In humid seasons, desiccants or dehumidifiers are placed in the mold storage area.
Rust Prevention Treatment：
Surface Treatment: Apply electroplating, phosphating, or blackening to the mold surface for rust prevention.
Application of Rust Preventive Oil: Apply an appropriate amount of rust preventive oil to the mold surface to form a protective film.
Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect the mold surface for signs of rust and address them promptly.
Use of Coverings：
Dust Covers: Use plastic sheeting or dust covers to protect the mold from dust and moisture.
Desiccant Packs: Place desiccant packs inside the coverings to absorb moisture.
Mold Disassembly：
Long-Term Disuse: If the mold is not in use for an extended period, it is recommended to disassemble it and perform rust prevention treatment on the individual components.
Regular Movement: Regularly move the mold's moving parts to prevent adhesion.
