When it comes to maintaining injection molds, surface integrity is everything. Rust, buildup, oxidation, and weld discoloration can compromise part quality, increase cycle times, and lead to costly tool repairs. That’s why mold shops and manufacturers across industries rely on Zap-Ox® as their go-to mold cleaner cream.
A Smarter Way to Clean Injection Molds
Zap-Ox® is engineered specifically for the challenges of mold maintenance. Unlike traditional acid-based cleaners that can etch or damage precision surfaces, Zap-Ox® lifts stains without altering the metal. Its unique formula penetrates buildup and discoloration, effectively restoring the mold surface.
Whether you’re dealing with rust or buildup in vent channels, oxidation or buildup in cavity details, or weld discoloration after repair, Zap-Ox® delivers consistent results. It’s safe for use on all metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, and plated surfaces, and is NSF C1 listed.
Use Cases That Set Zap-Ox® Apart
- Post-Weld Cleanup: Removes heat tint and discoloration without compromising weld integrity.
- Vent Line Maintenance: Clears rust and carbon buildup from tight, hard-to-reach areas.
- Surface Restoration: Restores cavity shine and finish without polishing compounds.
- Preventive Maintenance: Ideal for routine cleaning to prevent oxidation and extend mold life.
Compared to acid cleaners, Zap-Ox® offers a safer, more operator-friendly experience. There’s no harsh odor, no need for aggressive scrubbing, and no risk of surface etching. Just apply a thin coat and let it work.
Why Surface Safety Matters
In high-precision molding environments, surface damage is a liability. Acid-based cleaners can pit or dull mold surfaces, leading to flash, poor part release, and dimensional inconsistencies. Zap-Ox® preserves the original finish, helping maintain tight tolerances and reducing the need for costly re-polishing or mold rework. This makes it especially valuable for medical, aerospace, and electronics applications where surface quality is important.
Trusted by Mold Shops and OEMs Alike
Zap-Ox® is a proven solution trusted by mold shops, OEMs, and maintenance teams across industries. From high-volume plastic injection facilities to precision medical molding operations, professionals rely on Zap-Ox® to maintain tool integrity and reduce downtime. Its ease of use and consistent performance make it a staple in preventive maintenance kits, especially in environments where surface quality and compliance are non-negotiable.
Whether you’re restoring a legacy mold or maintaining a high-cavity production tool, Zap-Ox® helps extend mold life and keep operations running smoothly.
