  Offers Volastic Global Hot Runner Systems and components. The Volastic product line ranges from a single drop hot sprue bushing up to 64 drop complete hot runner systems, available in four standard sizes and 4 different nozzle tip styles. Volastic systems are available as a manifold and components system or a complete fully assembled and tested bolt on hot half assembly. PCS can also provide the matching mold base for a completely integrated system. Patent pending nozzle design technology that dramatically reduces heat loss and transfer from the nozzle to the mold is a key differentiating feature of the Volastic system. Thermally conductive copper alloy tips form an extension of the nozzle shaft, drawing heat from the heater directly to the tip. Heaters are controlled by a separate thermocouple for accurate tip temperature readings. The Volastic nozzle design delivers accurate tip temperatures for sensitive materials like 30 percent glass filled nylon (using a wear resistant tip option), producing stronger parts while not degrading the plastic material and lowering molding temperatures and reducing cycle times. The Volastic manifold and heater system incorporates smooth radius cast transition plugs which eliminates sharp corners and material shear, as well as easy to bend nickel heaters. The cast transition plugs allow for a fully balanced manifold in a single piece of steel, making high drop systems much smaller and reduces leaks when compared to traditional layered manifold construction. Volastic balanced manifolds delivers an equal amount of material to each drop at the same time. Volastic cast transition plugs also make color changes fast and easy. The Volastic GMR Hot Sprue Bushing for direct part gating and single cavity molds is an enhanced and much improved direct replacement for the D-M-E Gate Mate. The Volastic GMR Hot Sprue Bushing incorporates the patent pending Volastic nozzle design and technology which lowers processing temperatures. GMR tips do not unscrew! GMR tips come in standard and wear resistant styles for unfilled and filled resins. The GMR tip design allows for faster color changes than the Gate Mate and the independent thermocouple located closer to the tip means you do not have to take the heater off to replace the thermocouple. PCS offers a complete line of modular temperature control systems. Features include: set point temperature, process temperature, amp reading, "C" or "F" temperature reading, "J" or "K" thermocouple options, 100% power boost button, and bumpless transfer which provides back-up to the automatic temperature control setting. PCS offers all controller accessories and cable options. PCS also offers PMS touch screen GUI control systems that are space saving and technologically state of the art for high drop hot runner applications.

• Lubricants
  NanoCeramicMoldGrease contains sub-microscopic ceramic particles, that have an affinity to steel, suspended in an over based calcium sulfonate thickener within a mid-viscosity petroleum based paste. The result is a super low coefficient of friction lubricant with unsurpassed resilience and superior adhesion. NanoCeramicMoldGrease lasts 10 times longer than conventional greases. Extreme shear stability prevents softening and run out during use. Operating temperature range: -40°F to 800°F. The ceramic particles can temporarily lubricate to 2,500°F. Sulfonate chemistry is a known corrosion and rust inhibitor. High load bearing properties. NSF Food Grade Approved. Viscosity is maintained across a wide temperature range. Low dielectric constant. Does not contain PTFE or silicon. Applications: slides, angle pins, leader pins and bushings, return pins, lifter rods, guided ejection systems, locks, molding machinery, robotic automation, auxiliary equipment.

  NanoMoldCoating is a semi-permanent, self applied mold coating designed to drastically reduce sticking problems, reduce cycle times, scrap and mold maintenance while improving part quality in injection molding, blow molding and rubber molding applications. The coating is created by forming a nano scale barrier from nano formulated molecules that chemically bond to steel, while repelling oil and water. NanoMoldCoating is nontoxic, does not migrate onto plastic parts and can withstand temperatures up to 1000°F. NanoMoldCoating does not affect the dimensional aspects of parts. NanoMoldCoating can help reduce molding pressures and molding temperatures. NanoMoldCoating can facilitate part release for up to and in many cases exceeding 300,000 cycles per coat, depending on the molded material, fillers, mold design, material flow rates and pressures. NanoMoldCoating can be used for virtually any molded material including heavy glass and mineral filled resins, rubber and silicones and can be applied to any steel or aluminum substrate, as well as other materials. NanoMoldCoating is resistant to most common cleaners and degreasers, so molds can be cleaned without removing the coating. Depending on the application, NanoMoldCoating can completely eliminate the use of traditonal costly mold release sprays. Available in five kit sizes (2ml, 5ml, 15ml, 25ml, 50ml).
