Empire, with the recent addition of a second Chicago area plant (250,000 sq. ft.), is the largest center in North America.  We specialize in mold polishing and treatments applied to rubber molding tooling.
Empire provides our proprietary Wearalon Teflon Matrix Chrome for your specific need which renders the above mentioned benefits.  Please consider the following facts related to Wearalon.

• Wearalon as a true matrix of Teflon within the micro crack structure of chrome. This treatment provides a long lasting benefits as discussed noted above.

• At a rubber molding manufacturer in Illinois, Wearalon provided such superior results that Wearalon was specified on all tools in their plant.

• At a large Ohio based molder, which molds rubber to metal, 16 different treatments were tried on their rubber molds along with Wearalon.  After one years extensive use of tooling treated with different treatment options, only Wearalon rendered the same results as when it was originally applied one year prior. This molder now specifies Wearalon on all tooling.

• At a large tire molder, Wearalon was applied to the company's most difficult to mold aluminum tire mold. Prior to use of Wearalon, this company had 11% molded part rejects due to parts sticking to the mold, had poor molding productivity, encountered frequent mold down time for cleaning, and was forced to use costly mold release sprays between each molding operation. After Wearalon was applied to this tool, this company doubled their molding productivity and molded 9000 tires with zero molding rejects without use of mold release compounds.

• Wearalon Teflon Matrix Chrome far out performs other competitive types of plating such as Nickel Teflon plating, and others. Wearalon offers superior release qualities due to a higher degree of Teflon infused within the micro crack structure of chrome. Wearalon has 25% higher hardness plus superior bond strength to the applied base metal compared to all other types of available mold treatments.

• The U.S. Government molds Buttle Rubber Gas Masks. They tried all types of mold treatments and only Wearalon rendered suitable results.
