Product Description
Bonderite L-CA HKKS is a high-purity semicolloidal graphite-water dispersion for gravity and low-pressure casting of non-ferrous metals — a proven release agent with high opacity and high-temperature resistance.
Bonderite L-CA release agents and mold coatings from Henkel/Acheson for gravity, low-pressure, and die casting of aluminum, zinc, magnesium, and other non-ferrous metals — water-based, with excellent release and insulating properties. L-CA HKKS is tailored to specific industrial applications — the most important properties and areas of application are listed below.
Bonderite L-CA HKKS (formerly Hydrokollag Kokillenschlichte) is a high-purity, semi-colloidal graphite dispersion in water—a long-established release agent for gravity and low-pressure casting of non-ferrous metals. Its high opacity and excellent release properties protect insulating coatings from premature wear and produce pore-free castings.

Frequently asked questions about L-CA HKKS
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Bonderite L-CA HKKS: High-purity semicolloidal graphite-water dispersion for gravity and low-pressure casting of non-ferrous metals — a proven release agent with high opacity and high-temperature resistance. Main applications: Gravity casting of aluminum, low-pressure casting of non-ferrous metals, topcoat over L-CA CG series.
Bonderite L-CA products are specifically tailored to the requirements of foundries—gravity casting, low-pressure casting, and die casting of aluminum, magnesium, zinc, and other non-ferrous metals. Water-based coatings (CG series) form insulating coatings with controlled thermal insulation performance. Release agent emulsions (CP series) are silicone-free for subsequent painting/bonding. Graphite dispersions (HKKS) offer high-temperature release without gas pores.
Store in the unopened original container in a dry, cool place — typically between +5 and +40 °C, exact values see TDS. Protect water-based products from frost. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use. Observe the expiry date on the packaging. Store aerosol sprays at low temperature and in a well-ventilated area.
In the comparison table above, you will find related Bonderite products with different properties — different carrier, different solid lubricant, different temperature range, or different application specialization. If you are unsure about the optimal choice, we will be happy to advise you — contact SILITECH with your specific application (substrate, temperature, load, processing workflow).
