Release agent selection for silicone and polyurethane moulds.

Advice on choosing and applying release agents that suit your mould material, mix and finish — so tools last and faces stay clean.

Overview

Release agent selection, in plain terms.

The release agent is the most common cause of early mould wear. The wrong product, or too much of it, shortens life and marks the face.

We recommend release families that suit each mould material and write the regime into the handling note.

What sets it apart

Releases that won't attack the elastomer.

No staining, blowholes or dusting.

How much, how often, how applied.

Fits your existing routine where possible.

How we build it

We ask what you use now and whether you're happy with the finish. If it's compatible, keep it.

If not, we'll suggest a family and a trial.

The honest bit

We don't sell release agents. Our advice is independent of any product.
