The Science Behind Stoner B445

Manufacturers need more than just a generic high-temperature release agent—they need a precision-engineered de-nesting solution that prevents sticking, enhances part separation, and minimizes production delays. B445 is formulated to do exactly that.

Designed for friction reduction in plastic molding, this advanced formulation reduces static-related issues while allowing for clean, easy separation of parts and pellets. The result? Increased efficiency, fewer defects, and reduced downtime for manufacturers working with various thermoplastics.

Key Features That Set B445 Apart

B445 was developed with the unique needs of thermoformers and extruders in mind. Here's how it stands out:

• Prevents Sticking and Improves Efficiency – Reduces downtime and increases production speeds by ensuring clean and easy part separation.
• Minimizes Static and Dust Attraction – Reduces contamination risks and enhances product quality by preventing unwanted dust and debris from adhering to molded components.
• Compatible with a Variety of Resins – Works seamlessly with PS, PET, PETG, PP, PE, and other thermoplastics, making it a versatile choice for diverse manufacturing applications.
• Food-Safe and Non-Toxic – Compliant with U.S. FDA regulations for food contact materials, making it safe for packaging and food-related applications.
• Cost-Effective and Easy to Apply – Delivers maximum productivity with minimal application effort, making it a cost-efficient solution for manufacturers.
• Provides Consistency – When you need reliable consistency for your final products, you can count on B445 to provide that without question.

Optimizing Performance with Proper Application

To maximize the benefits of B445, manufacturers must ensure proper application. The right approach helps maintain consistent part separation in thermoforming while reducing unnecessary waste and rework. Follow these key application steps for optimal results:

• Dilution Ratios – B445 is an emulsified water-based silicone mold release, which may require dilution depending on the specific application. Consult the product data sheet for precise ratios to achieve the best coverage and performance.
• Application Methods – Apply using automated spray systems, manual spray bottles, or roller coaters for uniform coverage and long-lasting effectiveness.
• Surface Preparation – Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry before application to maximize adhesion prevention and part separation performance.
• Reapplication Considerations – Depending on material type and production speed, periodic reapplication may be required to maintain consistent results.

By following these best practices, manufacturers can extend equipment lifespan, reduce material costs, and maintain a smooth production flow.

Allergen-Free and Taste-Neutral Formulation

In food packaging and thermoforming applications, material safety is a top priority. B445 is formulated to be 100% allergen-free, making it an excellent choice for manufacturers concerned about potential cross-contamination. Unlike some release agents that may introduce unwanted residues, B445 ensures that no allergens are transferred to molded parts, keeping food-safe products uncontaminated.

Additionally, B445 is completely taste-neutral. It will not impart any flavors or odors onto plastic packaging materials that come into contact with food products. This makes it ideal for industries requiring the highest level of purity and compliance, including food service trays, containers, and protective packaging.

Why B445 is the Future of De-Nesting Solutions

With manufacturing processes evolving rapidly, the need for advanced de-nesting solutions continues to rise. Sticking, poor separation, and inefficient molding processes lead to lost time and increased costs. That's where B445 delivers a competitive edge.

B445 isn't just another thermoformer release agent—it's a long-term solution designed to build trust and reliability between manufacturers and their operations. By providing consistent, high-performance results, B445 helps create lasting partnerships with customers who depend on precision and efficiency in their production lines.

This high-performance thermoformer release agent optimizes material handling, ensures seamless part separation, and enhances production efficiency. Whether working with high-volume production runs or complex molding applications, B445 provides the reliability manufacturers need to achieve consistent, defect-free results, ensuring they can meet demand without interruptions or costly inefficiencies.

Common Questions About De-Nesting Agents and B445

Selecting the right de-nesting agent for extruders and thermoformers can raise several important questions. Whether you're concerned about compatibility, safety, or application best practices, having the right information ensures you get the most out of your manufacturing process. Below are some of manufacturers' most common questions about B445 and its role in improving efficiency, reducing downtime, and maintaining product quality.

1. How does a de-nesting agent improve production efficiency?

A de-nesting agent for extruders and thermoformers prevents plastic sheets or molded parts from sticking together, reducing downtime and increasing throughput. It enhances automation efficiency and minimizes defects caused by poor separation.

2. What types of materials is B445 compatible with?

B445 is compatible with various thermoplastics, making it a versatile solution for various manufacturing environments.

3. Is B445 safe for use in food packaging applications?

Yes, B445 complies with U.S. FDA regulations for food contact materials, making it an excellent choice for packaging and food-related molding processes.

4. What is the best way to apply B445?

To ensure uniform coverage and maximum effectiveness, B445 should be applied for optimal performance using automated spray systems, manual spray bottles, or roller coaters.

5. What Role does B445 Play in the Extrusion Process?

In the extrusion process, B445 is added to the water-cooling bath to keep the strands and the downstream pellets from sticking together. Without the B445, the extruded strands and the pellets themselves could stick or clump together.
