Product detailed description
Detailed product description
Release grease for steel lead-mold guides helps remove the guide from a completed casting. The pack contains 30 g. Use it when repeatedly casting around a steel component that forms a passage and is withdrawn after solidification. It does not replace the correct guide size, a clean groove or accurate mold closure.
In the Cheburashka system it supports BL1 casting strips and BL2 strips. BL1 is used, for example, in F161/F173/F174/F184 and smaller F183 cavities; BL2 serves F178/F179 and larger F183 cavities. The treated casting component is withdrawn after solidification, with the finished clip fitted later. Select grease for work with a removable steel guide, not by A/B/C clip type.
It also supports steel tapered guides used in inline molds. Begin by checking straightness and cleanliness. Apply a thin film according to the product instructions. Excess grease does not correct a bent component or the wrong size and must not replace checking its seating. Nothing should obstruct the two mold halves from meeting correctly.
SAF suggests renewing the film after approximately 5–10 castings. Treat this as a prompt to inspect, not a guaranteed interval for every temperature and process. Monitor the surface and withdrawal behaviour throughout the session and follow the grease, metal and equipment instructions. If a guide becomes harder to remove, also check the casting condition and appropriate cooling rather than applying force.
Check the first pieces for a clear passage and test the correct clip or inline assembly after finishing. Before coating, prepare the casting surface according to the paint instructions; residues of auxiliary products may need cleaning. Release grease is not a flux or a lead coating. These products serve different purposes and each has its own procedure.
Using grease with steel casting guides
| Feature or application | Specification | Practical check |
|---|---|---|
| Pack | 30 g | Release product for steel guides |
| Cheburashka casting strips | BL1 / BL2 | Correct size for mold and cavity |
| Inline casting | Steel tapered guide | Follow the particular mold procedure |
| Application | Thin film according to instructions | Straight, clean and correctly seated part |
| Renewal guidance from SAF | Approximately every 5–10 castings | Inspect the surface throughout use |
| Role in the process | Helps guide removal | Does not replace correct seating |
Related products include molds and their steel guides. Identify the correct casting component for the cavity before deciding how to prepare it. Grease does not change guide, clip or mold compatibility.
Preparing and checking a steel casting guide
- Check the correct guide type, straightness and cleanliness. Prepare a completely dry mold and tools.
- Apply a thin film to the steel component according to the product instructions. Do not use excess grease to compensate for damage or the wrong part.
- Seat the guide correctly, check full closure and secure the mold. Cast according to the mold, metal and equipment instructions.
- After solidification and safe cooling, withdraw the guide and check its surface and the casting passage. Review the process if removal becomes harder.
- Inspect the need for renewal throughout use; SAF suggests approximately 5–10 castings. Clean and store the guide after the session.
Follow the instructions for each product used in the process. Grease temperature resistance is not an independent recommendation for pouring temperature; use the process specified for the metal and melting equipment.
Preparation and casting safety
- Never pour into a damp mold; guides and tools must also be completely dry. Use the grease according to its instructions.
- Wear safety glasses and suitable gloves and use a stable, heat-resistant work area.
- Provide effective ventilation and follow the metal, auxiliary product and melting equipment instructions.
- Keep food, drinks and smoking away. Separate lead-working tools from household utensils and wash your hands afterwards.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What does grease do when casting Cheburashkas?
It helps release the removable BL1 or BL2 steel strip from the casting. It does not change the required strip or clip dimensions.
Must I renew the film exactly after the fifth casting?
There is no fixed interval for every situation. SAF suggests approximately 5–10 castings; inspect the surface and withdrawal behaviour and follow the grease instructions.
Will a thick layer help with a bent guide?
It does not replace the correct component. Check straightness, cleanliness and seating. Do not force the mold closed around an incorrectly fitted guide.
Is this also an additive for cleaning molten lead?
No. This is a product for steel guides. Melting additives or flux have separate purposes and instructions.
Can I coat the casting immediately after removing the guide?
Prepare the surface according to the coating instructions first. Clean off any relevant auxiliary-product residue and leave the passage clear for later assembly.
