Mold Release Agents Sprays from Slide Products

The right mold release agent increases production capability and extends the life of your molds, with shortened cycle times that go straight to your bottom line. Material and application-specific formulations that prevent sticking and enable the speedy release of defect-free parts to drive greater productivity for injection molding or blow molding.

When properly applied to the mold surface, Slide’s aerosol spray mold release agents easily release a variety of plastic resins across many applications, including food and medical. The epoxy release agent creates a barrier between the mold and the resin, preventing the two from sticking together and potentially destroying the mold.

How Mold Releases Increase Your Productivity
Silicone mold release agents have been a staple in the molding industry for over 60 years. With improved technology and mold design, sticky parts are no longer the status quo in an industry that has undergone significant evolution, but mold release agents still play a key role in improving cycle times, speeding the ejection of sticky parts and maximizing the life of your molds.

Further into their life cycle, molds can develop issues that don’t affect the part finish or quality but that slow the ejection process and lengthen cycle times. A mold release spray may help extend the life of your mold before it requires significant maintenance or repairs.
