Why Use a Mold Release Agent in the First Place?

While it’s important for companies to understand how many benefits they’ll get from silicone release technology, first they need to realize the drastic improvements any mold release agent will bring to their production process. Finding the right agent results in:

  • Faster operations: Not only will it take less time to separate a product from its mold, but your employees will also spend fewer company hours cleaning the molds between applications.
  • Cleaner final products: Word-of-mouth travels fast. With a silicone mold release agent or other option, products will release from their molds more smoothly without residue. This improves your final output while simultaneously enhancing your company’s reputation if you produce any customer-facing items.
  • Longer mold life: The life expectancy of your molds will increase if you have the right release agents on them to reduce damages and lower the number of cleaning hours they must undergo between uses. This saves you money from day one.
  • Less material waste: With a quality release agent, you’ll find yourself throwing fewer products away due to damages.
