Why choose GHA® for your molds?

The combination of a hard anodic oxide layer (500–550 HV) and silver ions (Ag⁺) gives aluminum molds a unique set of properties that directly impact productivity and cost efficiency:

• Increased wear resistance — extends mold life significantly

• Reduction of molding cycle times — faster production rates

• Easier product release — reduced friction on mold surfaces

• Use of lower tonnage presses — less stress on equipment

• Reduction of injection points — simplified mold design

• Lower energy consumption — more efficient production

• Ease and speed of cleaning — less downtime between cycles

• Lightness — easier handling and maintenance

• Lower raw material and machining costs compared to steel molds

• Corrosion resistance — optimal protection during storage

 

A smart choice for modern manufacturing

GHA® treated molds are already used in the production of plastic components for the automotive, consumer goods and packaging industries. The self-lubricating effect of silver ions reduces the need for mold release agents, while the antibacterial properties make GHA® ideal for molds used in food and pharmaceutical applications.
