Key Features |
• Silicone-free compound designed for lamination plates and components • Functions as a release coating, simplifying plate removal and cleaning • When diluted, it provides reliable resin separation from contact surfaces |
• Free from silicone and ozone-depleting substances • Fast-drying propellant enables quick application during the layup process • Forms a protective dry film that supports clean release of epoxy resin from surfaces |

Lamination Tooling and Transport Plate
TADCO Lamination Tooling Plates
Heat Treatment: TADCO utilizes a special proprietary heat treatment method designed to stabilize 4140 steel. This process enables the steel to withstand frequent changes in pressure and temperature with minimal deformation.
Precision Machining: TADCO utilize cutting edge 3 Axis mill equipped with built-in CMM probe. This ensures the accuracy of bushings hole locations within +/- .001”, facilitating multi-layer registration with reliable and consistent result.
TADCO Stainless Steel Separator Plate
Cold rolling includes a work-hardening effect in the material which improves the material’s resistance to deformation, wear, and fatigue.
Leveling involves removing or reducing the coil’s inherent curvature, resulting in a flat and even surface.
Precipitation hardening Stainless steel undergoes an initial quenching process to attain the desired hardness. Subsequently, the quenched alloy is subjected to aging at a comparatively lower temperature, known as the aging temperature. This aging procedure restricts the movement of dislocations, thereby enhancing the material’s strength.

Alignment Pins and Bushings
Tadco’s pins (hardness: 60 to 65 Rockwell C) and bushings (hardness: 54 to 56 Rockwell C) are machined to precise tolerances using very hard special steels and are interchangeable within the industry. Replacements are guaranteed to fit.
Precision Machined Bushings
TADCO’s unique manufacturing process ensures bushings with precisely located holes, enhancing the accuracy of tooling holes on plates and improving PCB layer alignment.
Engineered Tolerances for Superior Fit
Our precision tooling incorporates tightly controlled tolerances for pins, bushings, and plate holes. This design simplifies the lay-up process, enabling easy pin insertion and accurate multilayer lamination registration.
