Pioneering Rubber Mold Release Agents & Silicone Mold Release Agents
Superior Mold Release, Zero Transfer, and Cost-Effective – a potent combination
Miller-Stephenson offers a specialized range of rubber mold release agents. Each formulation has been carefully developed to ensure smooth, consistent mold release without excessive build-up, oily transfer, or complicated curing processes. Rubbers and elastomers are highly versatile materials that are used in sporting goods, machinery, office equipment, automotive tires, footwear and many other industrial products. This wide application range has allowed these materials to be utilized to solve complex mechanical issues. As such, the molds and processes to form these products have become increasingly challenging. In response, Miller-Stephenson has developed the most advanced rubber mold release agents and silicone release agents to meet and exceed expectations in today’s toughest molding challenges.

Miller-Stephenson Rubber Release Agent Products
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. Solvent-based products combine ultra low odor, low VOC and 100% non flammable formulations. This dramatically reduces operator safety hazards and minimizes 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.
