What is a Mold Release?

Mold releases are a type of product that makes the process of demolding your manufactured parts easier. This product is sprayed or painted onto the surface of your mold, creating a non-stick layer between the charge material and the molding surface.

Our expert engineers formulate our mold releases to cling tightly to your mold’s surface, creating a cohesive surface that protects both your mold and your products from damage, dirt, and flaws.

What are the Benefits of Mold Releases?

The primary benefit of a solvent-based mold release is in the name. You’ll enjoy an easier experience as you release your product from your mold. But on top of this, there are several additional advantages that your business can leverage into major benefits:

Increased Efficiency

How much time do you spend on the demolding process? We know that efficient processes are essential for manufacturing. Our team will help you select the right mold release and review the best practices for optimal output.

Improved Quality

With the right mold release coatings for your materials, parts will come out without tears or defects. Mold release will provide smoother surfaces and higher-quality results for your customers and clients!

Reduced Waste

Because you will have fewer errors in the molding process, you will have fewer parts that need to be scrapped. Scrapping parts wastes valuable time, materials, and money, so minimizing scrapping is ideal.

Less Maintenance

A mold release doesn’t just make it easier to de-mold a product. It also causes less dirt and grime to stick to the molding surface, resulting in less time spent cleaning and maintaining your molding equipment.

Types of Mold Releases

There are two primary formulations of mold release: sacrificial and semi-permanent. Beyond making sure that you are using the right product for your material – like not using silicone-based sprays on silicone molds – you might not know right away which product is right for you. Choosing between semi-permanent and sacrificial should begin with knowing what the key differences are:

Sacrificial (Traditional)

A classic product, sacrificial mold releases create a more solid layer that sticks to the molded product. This is then cleaned off of the product after demolding – an extremely effective protective layer that requires multiple applications each day.

Semi-Permanent

A semi-permanent mold release product will prevent adhesion through multiple cycles, which generally means that less applications are required per cycle. These are some of our most popular, efficient, and cost-effective products.
