In the die-casting process, the mold is constantly heated by high-temperature liquid metal, and its temperature rises continuously. Excessive mold temperature will make the die casting produce some defects, such as sticking mold, blistering, chipping, thermal cracks, etc. At the same time, the mold works in a high-temperature environment for a long time, and the mold material strength declines, causing the mold surface to crack, resulting in the decline of the life of the mold. In order to alleviate or solve the above problems, in the production of workpieces, often using spraying or coating release agent measures.

So what is a mold release agent? What areas can it be used in? What are the advantages? And how to select it?

A release agent is a functional substance that acts between the mold and the finished product. It forms a homogeneous release film on the mold surface, enabling the molded part to be released and allowing the product to maintain its integrity and post-processability.

Without release agents, may experience the following troubles: sticky film, mold scale build-up, multiple equipment stops for cleaning, impact on equipment life, etc.

Choosing a suitable release agent for you can solve these problems for you, so as to improve the production quality, enhance the production efficiency, reduce the scrap rate, and at the same time clean the surface of the mold, extend the service life of the mold!

SILIKE SILIMER series is a product with long-chain alkyl-modified polysiloxane with active functional groups, or masterbatch products based on different thermoplastic resins. With both the properties of silicone and active function groups， SILIMER products play a great role in the processing of plastics and elastomers.

With outstanding performances such as high lubrication efficiency, Good mold release, small addition amount, good compatibility with plastics, and no precipitation, and can also greatly reduce the friction coefficient, and improve the wear resistance and scratch resistance of the product surface. SILIKE SILIMER products are widely used for PE, PP, PVC, PBT, PET, ABS, PC and thin-walled parts, etc

Typical Benefits:

Not affect the transparency of products, and printing on film surface;

Lower COF, smoother surface

Better flow ability, higher output;

Improve greatly mold filling and mold release performance

SILIKE SILIMER series is widely used in films, pump packaging, cosmetic covers， plastic pipes, thermoplastic elastomer, wood plastic composites (WPC), engineering plastics,wire and cables thin-walled products, etc.

SILIKE SILIMER series product range has provided successful solutions in many areas and SILIKE is committed to developing and updating its products. If you have a problem with a release agent, SILIKE is ready to discuss and solve it together with you!
