Silicone and non-silicone release agents are the most widely used and highly regarded solution in thermoplastic resin molding. Thanks to their chemical and physical properties, they offer excellent performance by protecting the integrity of the finished product and extending the mold’s service life.
The Technical and Economic Benefits for Your Production
Using a high-quality release agent guarantees immediate benefits across the entire molding line:
- Smooth release: They ensure quick and effortless demolding, eliminating the risk of part deformation or breakage.
- Maximum mold protection: They create a protective film that reduces chemical and mechanical wear caused by the polymers used and the buildup of deposits, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.
- Wide compatibility: They perform successfully on a wide range of polymers, from standard materials to the most advanced engineering thermoplastics.
- Superior surface finishes: They significantly reduce aesthetic imperfections, minimizing the need for costly post-processing.
- Cost Optimization: In addition to the product’s long lifespan, they offer exceptional value for money, ensuring tangible long-term savings.

Usage guide: the importance of making the right choice
Although release agents offer unparalleled advantages, their nature requires a careful assessment of the production cycle.
Technical Note: The high barrier effect of silicone release agents can interfere with subsequent processing of the finished part; if your product is to undergo painting, screen printing, bonding, or labeling, silicone residues may prevent the materials from adhering properly.
In these cases, our consultants are available to help you evaluate “paintable” alternatives or specific solutions that do not compromise the subsequent stages of your production.
