The 20th Shanghai International Die Casting & Non-Ferrous Casting Exhibition was held at SNIEC from July 15–17, 2026. Centered on Hall N4, the show spanned N1–N5, hosting 653 exhibitors and attracting professional visitors and buyers from 53 countries and regions. The event spotlighted new materials, processes, and applications, with a strong focus on smart manufacturing, green low‑carbon solutions, and mold innovation.
Among the most watched release agent suppliers, KZY presented its full lineup of high‑performance die‑casting release agents. Two product lines stood out and drew particular acclaim from both domestic and international die‑casting enterprises and agents: semi‑solid magnesium alloy release agent and anti‑oxidation & anti‑mold release agent. KZY is now actively recruiting outstanding agents worldwide to jointly reduce customers’ total cost of ownership through technological innovation.
1. Semi‑Solid Mg Release Agent: Precisely Fit for the “Essential‑Use Era”
Driven by NEVs, humanoid robots, and the low‑altitude economy, magnesium alloy has shifted from a “lightweight option” to a “strategic necessity.” As TZMC’s chairman Zhang Xiaoyan noted, China’s annual aluminum alloy casting usage exceeds 7.3 million tons, while magnesium alloy remains under 300,000 tons—a 30% substitution could unlock a 2‑million‑ton market. The show featured dedicated Mg casting and semi‑solid forums, with major equipment makers displaying core semi‑solid injection molding machines.
KZY’s semi‑solid Mg release agent delivers excellent lubricity, aids semi‑solid metal flow, and generates extremely low gas evolution, significantly improving dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties. Tailored for semi‑solid characteristics, it enhances thermal insulation, ensures smooth filling, reduces temperature loss, and produces superior surface and internal quality.
Key product K6501—for Mg alloy die‑casting & semi‑solid—offers strong lubrication and thermal insulation, particularly suited for hard‑to‑fill 3C parts like laptop shells and phone middle plates, reducing cold shuts, improving precision, and yielding brighter surfaces with fewer flow marks. KZY provides custom formulations for ultra‑thin‑wall (0.3–0.7mm, e.g., laptops/phone frames), thick‑wall (CCB, motor housings, steering wheels, e‑scooter parts), and semi‑solid processes, boosting yield rates across all scenarios.
2. Anti‑Oxidation & Anti‑Mold Release Agent: Systemic Solution for Black Spots and Coating Defects
Addressing common customer pain points—black spots, poor paint adhesion—KZY’s team offers a holistic approach: from melt refining and mold thermal balance (pre/post‑spray temperatures, mold temperature control) to spray drying, release agent dilution, storage, and formulation adjustment. KZY is not just a supplier but a solution provider.
The anti‑oxidation & anti‑mold release agent precisely tackles casting blackening and mold growth, with silicon‑free/low‑silicon formulations enabling easier cleaning and subsequent coating. For demanding micro‑arc oxidation processes, it leaves minimal residue and improves coating adhesion.
3. Four Upgrades to Empower Die‑Casting Customers
Upgraded release force and thermal stability: Withstands mold temperatures of 160–390°C, reducing soldering in hot deep cavities, and suits presses from 800 to 7,000 tons.
Reduced carbon buildup – K6201 upgrade: For presses below 1,000 tons, K6201 offers strong release, low carbon deposit, bright castings, and high dilution (90–130× at 13% concentration), staying solder‑free for 2–4 days. Widely used in automotive, motorcycle, power tools, telecom, and hardware parts.
Full Mg‑alloy coverage: From ultra‑thin to thick‑wall, conventional to semi‑solid, KZY provides complete magnesium‑compatible release agents to meet evolving demands.
Enhanced cleanability and pipe cleanliness: For NEV parts requiring plating, anodizing, or micro‑arc oxidation, K6911 low‑silicon agent balances release and easy cleaning. A new material formula significantly reduces bio‑film and pipe clogging caused by high‑temperature bacteria—field‑verified to keep piping clean for over one month.
4. New Growth Tracks: Humanoid Robots, Low‑Altitude Economy, and Mega‑Casting
The die‑casting industry in 2026 stands at a turning point—“aluminum steady, magnesium rising.” With humanoid robots and low‑altitude economy gaining momentum, high‑end manufacturing is upgrading. GGII forecasts China’s NEV integrated mega‑casting market will exceed RMB 120 billion by 2030, with penetration over 50%. Concurrent forums on Mg casting, integrated die‑casting, and semi‑solid processes drew global experts.
KZY actively addresses new applications, covering presses from 400 to 9,000 tons—high‑pressure and semi‑solid alike. For the urgent demand for lightweight, high‑performance components in emerging sectors, KZY contributes professional release‑agent expertise to drive high‑quality industry development.
The three‑day show concluded successfully. Among 653 exhibitors and buyers from 53 countries, KZY earned wide praise for product excellence and systematic solutions, demonstrating the innovative strength of a homegrown release‑agent brand. Looking ahead, KZY remains committed to “meeting customer needs and solving real problems,” working alongside industry peers to create a new future of lightweighting.
