Release agents are a general term for chemicals and additives that improve mold release properties and prevent materials from adhering to molds, which are mainly made of metal.
They are used across all manufacturing fields, such as industrial and food processing, where materials are placed into molds.
Function:
The primary function of a release agent is to prevent materials from sticking to the mold and to reduce friction when removing the molded product from the mold.
Release agents are mainly used for molding resins and rubber, as well as for extrusion molding of sheet-type CFRP and tubes. They are also used in the food industry during the baking process of baked goods.
Features:
When applied with FLUOROSURF, the adhesion of molding resin to the surface is reduced. This allows strong release performance even in cases involving complex and intricate shapes—something difficult to achieve with conventional release agents.
It reacts with the molding material and bonds firmly, enabling continuous mold release.
It forms a nano-level thin film, allowing accurate demolding in micro-molding processes that require precision beyond the micrometer level.
The components of the release agent do not transfer to the molded product, eliminating the need for cleaning the molded parts.
When performance deteriorates, a simple reapplication can restore effectiveness—there is no need to remove the old coating.
This release agent uses a non-flammable solvent, which is free from legal restrictions and safe to use.
