Chem-Trend has reinforced its collaboration with Bjørn Thorsen A/S, by appointing us as its official distributor of the Lusin® range of high-performance mold maintenance products for the Nordic and Baltic countries.
Lusin® product range
We are very proud to add the Lusin® line to our extensive distribution portfolio, thereby helping thermoplastic processors optimize production and protect valuable investments in processing equipment. Lusin® products improve process efficiency and product quality; they also contribute to lower maintenance, repair and operational costs. In the next paragraphs, you can read more about the Lusin® family.
Release agents
Lusin® Alro/blue are silicone and silicone-free release agents for thermoplsatics operations, designed to improve efficiency, lower scrap and reduce operational costs.
Lubricants
Lusin® Lub/yellow lubricants are created specifically for the thermoplastic injection molds to prevent breakage and seizure of pins as well as slides without staining.
Protective agents
Chem-Trend’s range of Lusin® Protect/orange protective agents have been developed to guard the metal surface of molds and tooling used in thermoplastic processing against the attack of water, oxygen or other corrosive agents which are common rust-contributing factors.
Cleaning agents
Lusin® Clean/red cleaning agents are formulated to remove contaminants (e.g. waxes, oils, greases) and deposits of thermoplastic resins, colors and miscellaneous additives from molds or other surfaces without attacking or etching them.
