Ever heard of tirbacoat? (Tribocoat)

I am doing overmolding of a very small magnet and am finding that I have tool wear that causes the magnets to break during molding or have plating loss. I have been told of a coating called tribacoat that reduces tool wear, and could possibly help me. Has anyone ever heard of such a coating?

Hi, Thomas. I'm pretty confident that there is a misspelling there and you are inquiring about Tribocoat. Try looking it up that way, and get back to us if that doesn't answer your question. Good luck.
