Professional Release Agents for Molds and Originals
🔧 Professional Release Agents for Molds and Originals
Release agents facilitate the removal of a silicone mold from an original and from a casting in a silicone mold. Our carefully selected collection offers the perfect solution for every application.
✨ Why Release Agents Are Essential
Silicone generally doesn't adhere unless the surface is porous (unfinished wood, styrene, baked clay). In that case, you can use a pore sealer and/or release agent .
🎯 Important Applications:
- Condensation silicones bond to addition and condensation silicones → Always use release agent
- Addition silicone bonding to fresh addition silicone → Strongly recommended to use release agent
- Polyurethane, epoxy and polyester bond strongly to many materials → Release agent protects your mold
🔬 Specialist Solutions
For absorbent surfaces: On highly absorbent surfaces, polyvinyl alcohol can be used as a release agent. This is especially helpful because it dissolves with plenty of water and therefore leaves little to no discoloration. This is used on marlstone, among other things.
✨ Finish & Gloss
The nature of the release agent determines whether the mold retains its gloss or not. Therefore, a good choice is important:
- Buffable or wax-based release agents → Can often be buffed back to a shine
- Powdered release agents → Provide a mattifying effect
