Pioneering Rubber Mold Release Agents & Silicone Mold Release Agents
Sporting goods, machinery, office equipment, automotive tires, footwear and many other industrial products take advantage of the flexibility and robustness of rubber and silicone to solve complex mechanical issues. As such, the molds to form these shapes and the requirements placed upon mold release agents have increased tremendously. In response, Miller-Stephenson has developed the most advanced rubber mold release agents and silicone mold release agents to meet and exceed all performance requirements in today’s toughest molding challenges. For solutions to your rubber and silicone mold release problems you can rely on the Miller-Stephenson’s flagship mold release line, ReleaSys™, and our worldwide reputation for unsurpassed expertise, consistent quality, and value. With products for both solvent based and water based applications, the ReleaSys line of rubber mold release agents contribute to ensure efficient, cost effective, and high quality release of your molded parts.
ReleaSys™ Rubber Mold Release agents are recommended for releasing all natural and synthetic rubbers / elastomer compounds. Our release agents chemically bond to mold surfaces ensuring the highest number of releases per application with minimal transfer and no mold fouling. Our specialized release agents eliminate rubber to metal bonding failures resulting in dramatically lower scrap rates. ReleaSys™ Silicone Mold Release agents offer superior durability, maximized surface adhesion and ease of release.
Low or No VOC, Minimal Odor, 100% Non-Flammable
Our ReleaSys™ rubber mold release products, include solvent based and water based mold release agents for general rubber goods, rubber-to-metal bonding, and silicones elastomers. Our solvent-based products utilize ultra low odor, low VOC and 100% non-flammable formulations dramatically reducing operator safety hazards and minimizing exposure. Water-based formulations are 100% VOC-free and yield the same reliable performance in a more environmentally friendly formulation. Our water-based formulations are particular effective on technical rubber (ie: Neoprene, Nitrile) and silicone elastomer products, providing instantaneous cure and maximized durability.
