This is the introduction of the release agent commonly used in the production of polyurethane products, follow us for more production advice.
Specialized Mold Release Agent Classification
Polyurethane mold release agents are mainly divided into two types: external and internal release agents.
Polyurethane External Release Agent
A layer of coating applied to the surface of the mold so that the product can be easily removed from the mold during the molding process is called an external release agent. There are three types of external mold release agents depending on how they are applied: durable, hydroxyl-coated, and multilayer composite.
Polyurethane Internal Release Agent
The internal release agent is added to the PU formulation and migrates to the interface between the foam and the mold during each molding session to achieve the release effect. The requirements for the internal release agent are: easy to be dispersed in the resin system to become a stable dispersion, do not change the original reactivity and physical properties, do not affect the nucleation effect, so as not to change the porous structure or foam stability, do not affect the molding of the paintability.
