About Mold Releases and Release Agents

Mold releases and release agents are film-forming lubricating oils, solid lubricants, waxes, or fluids that prevent other materials from sticking or adhering to an underlying surface. Unlike permanent non-stick coatings, release agents typically require replenishment and are non-curing. Chemical companies are the main suppliers and manufacturers of mold releases and release agents; however, some mold manufacturers supply specialized or proprietary mold release and release agents that are designed for their products.

There are two basic types of mold releases and release agents: non-permanent and semi-permanent. Non-permanent products may require re-application after each use, usually in the form of a mold release spray. Semi-permanent mold releases and release agents are sensitive to moisture and other chemicals. A release agent’s material safety data sheet (MSDS) lists chemical properties and includes special instructions for disposal and/or handling. Suppliers of an intermediate mold release can provide additional information about how a semi-permanent mold release or release agent interacts with other chemicals.

Products & Services Related to Mold Releases and Release Agents

Heat Transfer Fluids and Thermal Oils
Heat transfer fluids, thermal oils, circulating coolants, and heater liquids are used to carry thermal energy in process heating and machine cooling applications.
Hydraulic Oils and Transmission Fluids
Hydraulic oils and transmission fluids are used to transmit power in hydraulic equipment and power transmission applications.
Industrial Greases
Industrial greases are thickened gels that consist of natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic substances. They do not run off surfaces and are used in a variety of lubrication, sealing, and exclusion applications.
Industrial Lubricants
Industrial lubricants are oils, fluids, greases and other compounds designed to reduce friction, binding or wear and exclude moisture. Specialized characteristics may enhance thermal conduction across thermal interfaces or reduce electrical resistivity across electrical joints.
Metal Working Lubricants, Coolants and Fluids
Metal working lubricants, coolants and fluids are specialized coatings and carriers for metal forming, metal cutting, lapping, polishing, and grinding applications.
Solid and Dry Film Lubricants
Solid and dry film lubricants form a dry layer or coating that excludes moisture and reduces friction, binding, and wear. They often contain additives such as corrosion, oxidation, and rust inhibitors.
Synthetic Oils, Greases and Lubricants
Synthetic oils, greases and lubricants are based on synthetic compounds such as silicone, polyglycol, esters, digesters, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and mixtures of synthetic fluids and water.
