Nibore (electroless nickel boron nitride) is a specialized type of plating that can be applied to plastic injection mold components. It is a composite coating that combines the properties of electroless nickel plating and boron nitride, which can provide a number of benefits over traditional nickel plating.

One of the main benefits of Nibore is its ability to improve the wear resistance of the components. A thin uniform coating, adding .0002-.0003 per side. The nickel component of the coating provides a hard, durable surface, while the boron nitride component acts as a lubricant, reducing friction and abrasion. These elements combine to achieve up to 70rc. This can help to extend the service life of the mold and reduce downtime due to repairs and maintenance.

Another benefit of Nibore is its ability to improve the corrosion resistance of the components. Like traditional nickel plating, Nibore provides a barrier against corrosive environments. The boron nitride component of the coating can add additional corrosion resistance.

Nibore also provides improved thermal conductivity over traditional nickel plating, which makes it ideal for high-temperature applications (1250F), such as high-performance thermoplastic molding.

Another advantage of Nibore is that it is a cost-effective solution, as it does not require any electricity or other energy source to deposit the coating. This makes it a more environmentally friendly alternative to other types of plating.

Another plus of using Nibore is that it provides excellent tribological performance, as boron nitride has excellent self-lubricating properties (.05 cof), reducing friction, wear, and temperature at the contact surface.

Furthermore, Nibore is a good choice for use in high-temperature and harsh environment, thanks to its high corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity.

In summary, the application of Nibore on plastic injection mold components can provide a number of benefits over traditional nickel plating. It can improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity and tribological performance of the components. Additionally, it can be a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for protecting and enhancing the performance of these critical components.
