Mold Release

A release agent is a chemical used to prevent other materials from bonding to surfaces. How does it provide a solution? The right mold release agent increases production capability and extends the life of your molds. Material and application-specific formulations that prevent sticking and enable the speedy release of defect-free parts to drive greater productivity for injection or blow molding.

Mold Cleaner

Mold cleaners are designed for removing tough resin deposits, silicone and other contaminants, with some formulations customized for the temperature at which they are used and by the products being molded. Mold cleaners for injection and extrusion operations have a critical job to do in dissolving and removing resins, grease, oil and other contaminants that can leave molded parts damaged and affect the life of a mold.
