ReleaSys™ DF-3R | Dry Film Release
Exceptional Non-Stick Properties, Non-Silicone, Multiple Releases per Application
ReleaSys™ DF-3R Dry Film Release is high performance, non-flammable PTFE-based mold release. Designed to provide exceptional release across a broad range of moldable substrates and configurations, ReleaSys™ DF-3R is an extreme robust release coating. The applied dry film coating is ideally suited for epoxy, composite, & rubber applications while also being an effective dry lubricant. This product contains zero chlorinated or hydrocarbon solvents, making the product safe for use on rubber and plastic substrates without fear of degradation or surface marring. Our proprietary ultra-low VOC, fast drying carrier fluid allows for easy application of thin-films via spray or dip applications. ReleaSys™ DF-3R is particularly effective for cold molding operations which require a dry film release agent. ReleaSys™ DF-3R will not interfere with postproduction finishing operations.

Dry Film Release Applications
ReleaSys™ DF-3R offers broad application effectiveness and can achieve release of even the most aggressive or tacky substrates without issue. Leveraging the low surface energy of our proprietary fluoropolymer resin technology and unique carrier fluid, the release film thickness can be as small as 0.1 micron while maintaining 100% effectiveness. This specialized dry film release chemistry can used to release the following materials.
| • Plastics | • Rubbers |
| • Resins | • Phenolics |
| • Acrylics | • Polycarbonates |
| • Urethanes | • Polystyrene |
| • Nylons | • Elastomers |
Ultra-low Friction, Unmatched Non-Stick Properties, Dry Film Technology – a potent combination
ReleaSys DF-3R Dry Film Release Coating represents a series of ultra-low global warming, non-flammable, solvent-based coatings offered by Miller-Stephenson. Fast air-dry times and ease of applications make integrating this product into a manufacturing operation simple and cost-effective. The 100% non-silicone, non-wax, and non-oily dry film release system offers a clean and highly effective alternative to typical release agents and surface lubricants. The applied coating is non-transfer, non-oily, and does not impact post molding operations such as painting, rubber to metal bonding, adhesion, or other operations typically impacted by silicone and oil-based release systems. ReleaSys DF-3R can also be utilized as a dry lubricant, replacing many oil and silicone based lubricants in low-load, low speed applications.
