What Are Mold Release Lubricants?
When you are creating a molded product, you may use a mold release lubricant. This lubricant is a deep-penetrating agent that helps reduce friction and prevent sticking for faster, quieter, and more efficient molding operations.
Our aerosolized mold release lubricants, like our A194, are one of the fastest and easiest products to use for your molding process. With a simple spray, you can quickly and evenly apply the lubricant deeply throughout even the most complicated mechanical parts. If you need a fast turnaround and rapid molding cycles, you need an aerosolized Skid or Silicone lubricant spray!
What are the Benefits of Mold Release Lubricants?
A good lubricant should provide many benefits, enhancing and simplifying your process.
Aids in Mold Release
As the name suggests, the primary benefit of mold release lubricants is that they provide fast and easy release of molded goods. This speeds up your molding cycles for more product moving out and more capital moving in! If you are simply looking for a productivity aid, then a mold release lubricant is what you need!
Protect Your Mold
A good molding lubricant agent will be non-corrosive to your mold, even at high temperatures. Additionally, these products will not produce carbon d\eposits – this prevents the build-up of common dirt and grime that can alter your mold’s surface and damage the product.
Preserve Product Integrity
Our silicone lubricant repels water and is colorless, tasteless, and nonstaining. You can be sure that your products will continue to roll off your product line in pristine condition.
Throughout the entire process, these agents are easy for your employees to use. Whether a simple spray-on method or a thicker layer of an agent like our Zip Slip grease, you can be confident that our molding lubricant agents will create a strong layer of protection that will serve you no matter the industry.
What Industries Use Mold Release Lubricants?
Mold release lubricants come in many useful formulations, providing unique benefits that can serve multiple industries.
- Thermoplastics – From toys and kitchen utensils to surgical equipment and food packaging, thermoplastic products are frequently molded using release lubricants – particularly silicone-based lubricants like our A635 that meet FDA regulations for incidental food contact.
- Polyurethane – One of the most common types of molding is polyurethane and cast elastomers, which are used throughout construction and automotive product manufacturing. You might need a mold release lubricant if you create products like insulation, bedding, or even the medical industry.
- Rubber – Rubber products are the bread and butter of the molding industry, used throughout some of our most important industries – automotive, construction, defense, and more. With a release lubricant, your molded goods will be elevated to a new degree of quality!
- Composite – Composite molded goods can have incredibly unique and diverse compositions – No two processes are exactly the same! But throughout all these processes, a mold release lubricant will help! From marine applications to advanced composites, quality is critical!
While many lubricants are designed to minimize interaction, an incorrect selection of products can lead to adverse effects. This is why we always urge curious customers to call us for more information so that we can have a discussion about all of the potential options available for you to use.
