Composite Mold Release Agents – ReleaSys™
Miller-Stephenson Composite mold release agents are backed by over 40 years of technical experience and are trusted to deliver the most consistent release of composite material in the industry. Our formulations are uniquely tailored to yield unmatched utility to the constantly evolving composite industry. ReleaSys Composite mold release agents use advanced crosslinking chemistry to create a low surface energy film which exhibits high slip, superior chemical and thermally durability. Large and small manufacturers can expect higher productivity and profitability through reduced downtime, increased acceptance rates and improved part quality when switching to Miller-Stephenson’s ReleaSys semi-permanent line. With our composite mold release agents operators will see minimal transfer to molded components, low clogging, and easy application. As a leader in the development of water-based products, Miller-Stephenson offers environmentally conscious technology for composite molders who require the same, uncompromised high levels of quality and performance as found in traditional solvent-based products.
