Ease Release™ 500
Ease Release 500 is a TEFLON™-like dry film mold release (and dry lubricant) that contains no silicones, oils or wax. Ease Release 500 is non-migrating and non-staining. It is effective and improves efficiency in many molding processes including injection, compression, transfer, vacuum form and die cast molding.
Features:
- Fast drying
- Effective over a broad temperature range from 70°F to 400°F
- Easy to apply
- Non staining, non migrating
- Inert with outstanding thermal and chemical stability
Ease Release 500 provides:
- Excellent release
- Matte surface finish on molded parts
- Ease of post finishing molded parts
Application - Processing Using Metal Molds
- Thoroughly clean your mold with Mold Cleaner 2508 or any suitable cleaner to remove all traces of previous coating and oils.
- Apply Ease Release 500 using aerosol spray for bulk grades. Hold the can or spray gun 6 to 8 inches from the mold surface to ensure a light even coating. When the molds are new or have been blasted with an abrasive, “season” the mold by applying a heavy coating of release. Heat the mold to process temperature, then wipe the excess with a rag and reapply a light coating of Ease Release 500 before regular molding.
- Ease Release 500 is fast drying and requires no baking during the normal molding process.
- Reapply a light coating before each molding.
CAUTION: Heating this product to temperatures above 500°F will create fumes that can cause flu like systems. Use with adequate ventilation.
Finishing:
Thorough cleaning of molded parts with Isopropyl Alcohol may be required prior to staining, painting, or bonding. For suggested cleaning procedures, consult a technical representative.
