Our Molding Heritage
We Specialize in Release Agents
Since 1942, Stoner Molding Solutions has been known for superior performance and consistent quality. Molders have come to rely on Stoner’s world class service and expert solutions for the challenges facing their business.
Today, Stoner’s brand portfolio offers solutions for any molding process. If you can mold it, we can release it. Stoner manufactures molding solutions for the thermoplastics, polyurethanes, composites, rotational, rubber, fiber, and investment casting industries.
Stoner release agents yield better performance than any competitive product. If you have not experienced the Stoner difference, please consider these reasons to switch. With Stoner, your cost per released part will be lower than any competitive product, so you’ll get “More Parts in Less Time.”
In the 1950s, Stoner was an early innovator of aerosol technology.
1950sIn the 1960s, Stoner’s success with lubricants for rubber molding led to the development of release agents for thermoplastic injection.
1960sBy the 1970s, Stoner expanded into polyurethane molding solutions.
1970sDuring the 1980s new cleaners and rust preventives were added.
1980sIn the 1990s, Stoner developed products for investment casting and melt spinning of polyester and nylon fiber.
1990sIn 2000, Stoner purchased Zip Molders Edge products.
2000In 2006, Stoner acquired the Dwight Products Nix Stix line for polyurethane and rubber molding.
2006In 2008 Stoner acquired the Releasomers line for rubber, composites, and rotational molding.
2008In 2013, the TraSys brand for rotational, rubber, and composites molding was added.
2013Honey Wax and KantStik brands for composites molding were added in 2014.

Mold Release for Thermoset Materials: Reducing Defects and Improving Yield
Jul 27, 2026, 16:21 PM by Tom MalesicIf you run thermoset molding operations, you already know that release performance is not a minor variable. It directly affects part quality, cycle time, and how often your team is stopping to clean molds, rework parts, or discard material that should have come out clean the first time.Full story -
AI in Manufacturing Process Optimization: How It Is Changing Mold Release Formulation
Jul 10, 2026, 11:24 AM by Tom MalesicIf you manage a production floor that depends on consistent molding output, you already know how quickly small inefficiencies add up. Inconsistent release performance across shifts, formulations that break down under high-cycle conditions, and cleaning routines that cut into uptime. Each one chips away at your throughput and your margins. AI in manufacturing process optimization is beginning to change how manufacturers address exactly these challenges, and the impact on mold release performance is worth your attention.Full story
