Silicone Free Release Agents | ReleaSys™ Coatings

Zero Oily transfer, No Post-Molding Cleaning, Superior Surface Quality and Predictable Release

Miller-Stephenson has pioneered the development and application of silicone-free release agents since the late 1960s. Our close relationship with aerospace and automotive companies provided us the early directive to develop and refine silicone free release agents.  This was due to standard silicone release agents issues such as excessive transfer, oily parts, cross-contamination, and interference with post-molding operations such as painting, bonding, and adhesion.  This would require the implementation of time wasting cleaning, construction of specialize spray booths, and the constant worry of silicone transfer throughout the production floor.  As pioneers in the mold release industry, Miller-Stephenson develop sophisticated replacements for silicone release agents, developing a portfolio of products designed specifically for replacement of silicone in rubber, polyurethane, composite, and epoxy molding operations.  These specialized coatings are available in both solvent and waterbased formulations. Most importantly our silicone free release agents provide 100% paintable release, meaning no post molding cleaning is necessary.

These coatings have been optimized for specific molding substrates and configurations.  We offer specialized non-silicone release agents for polyurethane, synthetic and natural rubbers, epoxies and composites, plastics, and engineered wood. Most specifically our silicone free release agents are particularly effective for molders working with silicone, LSR, and silicone rubbers.

Why use Silicone Free Release Systems?

Non-Silicone release agents are ideal suited for operations where post molding finishing is critical such as painting, bonding, or gluing.  Oily transfer from standard silicone release agents will inhibit those operations from working properly causing significant scrap and downtime.  Some companies choose to compensate for the silicone oil transfer by washing the part after molding with aggressive solvents.  This reduced throughput, increases worker exposure, is time consuming, and expensive. Silicone oils are incredible difficult to remove properly and migration into more critical production areas is always a potential issue. Silicone free release agents allow you to remove those extra cleaning steps from your process. Manufacturers no longer worry about silicone oils shutting down your paint shop or ancillary production areas due to silicone oil migration.
