A compound used to reduce surface tension or adhesion between a mold and a part.
Additive which imparts coatings with extremely low surface energy and anti-stick properties.
Material used to prevent bonding of concrete to a surface, such as to forms. See bond breaker, form release agent.
A chemical used to ensure the plastic kit comes away cleanly from the mould in an injection moulding machine. Release agent can be left on a kit and its presence can be seen by dripping some water onto the plastic; the water forms into beads. It can be removed by wash ing the plastic in warm, soapy water. An undercoat can be used to ensure no adverse effects and good adhesion, or 'key', of the topcoat paint.
a substance that prevents one material from sticking to another
a surface treatment used on concrete to release it from the mold, which it Is formed in
A chemical agent used to prevent a material from adhering to a surface such as a mold.
A substance usually sprayed or painted on mold to prevent cured matrix material from bonding to tooling.
A lubricant that facilitates molding.
(RA) substance used in stamping to keep the wet concrete from sticking to the stamps. Can be pigmented powder or Clear Liquid Release – "bubblegum".
A material which is placed on tooling or other objects to prevent the adhesive from adhering to them during a bonding operation. The agent may be a mineral spray release or a plastic sheeting as Teflon.
A lubricant, often wax, is used to prevent the adhesion of the molded part to the mold. An internal lubricant such as zinc stearate is used in high temperature molding to obtain release where wax would melt or be absorbed.
a substance which prevents a moulding from sticking to the mould surface; it may be a chemical compound or a solid material such as a cellulose or plastics film
A material that is applied in a thin film to the surface of a mold to keep the resin from bonding to the mold. Also called parting agent. Mold Release
A material, e.g. silicone, stearate, oil, or wax for lubricating a die pattern or core box to facilitate easy removal of a casting, mold or core.
Any of various substances used to lubricate a mould to prevent the casting material from sticking to it.
Additive used to prevent the molded object from sticking to the surface of the mold. Release agent can be directly cooled into mold cavities (external release agent) or it can be introduced into the polymer (internal release agent). Examples of release agents are: silicone, PTFE, waxes, fatty acid esters.
A release agent, also known as a de-moulding agent, parting agent or form releaser, is a substance used in moulding and casting that aids in the separation of a mould from the material being moulded and reduces imperfections in the moulded surface. Substances used to aid in the separation of food from a cooking container after baking or roasting, such as fat or flour, can also be considered release agents.
