CASE STUDY 2
Unlocking Efficiency in Automotive Manufacturing:
Reducing Mold Release Agent Consumption by 20% and Saving $40,000 USD Annually
Challenge
IAC Toluca faced excessive mold release agent consumption in the production of headliners. The existing product’s inefficiency led to higher costs and reduced productivity.
Results
- Reduced mold release agent consumption by 20%.
- Increased production output by 16 additional headliner pieces per shift.
- Achieved annual savings of $40,000 USD.
Solution
Intermol 505, a semi-permanent water-based release agent, was introduced. Combined with a new atomized application system, it improved efficiency and minimized waste.
Impact
Improved cost-efficiency and production capacity.
