Release agents and anti-adhesion agents for industrial moulding applications

Release agents are used in technological processes such as casting, pressing, thermoforming, and injection molding to prevent material adhesion to the mold. An anti-adhesion lubricant creates a thin separating layer that helps maintain product geometry, reduces mold wear, and eliminates material residues on the surface.

This category includes both silicone-based and silicone-free release agents. The choice between them depends on the type of material, requirements for further processing (painting, bonding), temperature regime, and mold type.

Silicone-Based Release Agents

Release agents of this type form a stable, heat-resistant film that is resistant to polymer melts, synthetic resins, and thermoplastics. They provide a long-lasting effect and minimal mold wear.

Used in the production of:

  • rubber technical products
  • plastics by injection molding
  • composite materials
  • vacuum forming

Silicone release agents are suitable for metal, chrome-plated, and Teflon-coated molds. After application, they provide a stable anti-adhesion effect at temperatures up to 250 °C. They are also used as a separator for silicone in the production of seals and for casting two-component materials.

Silicone-Free Release Agents

In cases where the presence of silicone makes further operations with the part impossible—such as bonding, painting, or metallization—silicone-free release agents are used. These anti-adhesion agents ensure clean separation without a residual layer, are easy to remove, and do not affect subsequent adhesion or coating.

Silicone-free lubricants are used in the following industries:

  • technical plastics molding
  • optical element forming
  • electronics
  • medical molding
  • packaging production

Silicone-free release agents are suitable for polyurethanes, epoxies, polyesters, and ABS. They are applied in a thin layer, dry quickly, and do not cause surface defects.

Choosing the Type of Release Agent Depending on the Process

  • When to use silicone-based release agents:
    • high thermal stability
    • need for long-term anti-adhesion effect
    • simple molding without further finishing processes
  • When a silicone-free agent is needed:
    • subsequent painting, printing, or bonding
    • medical and food applications
    • control over residues on the part
