Mold Release Agent Formula Design: Customized to Meet Different Industrial Needs According to the Scene

Release agent is an indispensable key additive in the field of industrial processing. The scientific design of its formula directly determines product performance and is the core of adapting to different processing scenarios, ensuring production efficiency and product quality. As the two mainstream categories, universal release agents and die-casting release agents have formed completely different design ideas in terms of ingredient matching and formula development due to differences in applicable working conditions and performance requirements. The former achieves multi scenario basic adaptation with multiple ingredient ratios, while the latter completes precise customized formula creation around the special requirements of high-temperature die-casting technology.

The core of the research and development of universal release agents lies in their diverse adaptability, meeting the demolding needs of various industries through rich ingredient compositions. Different ingredient formulations correspond to different application scenarios and performance characteristics. Organic silicone based universal release agents, with methyl silicone oil and emulsified silicone oil as the core, are widely used categories that are perfectly suitable for conventional processing scenarios such as plastics and rubber; Fluorine based universal release agents have extremely strong demolding performance due to their core components such as polytetrafluoroethylene, and are only used in scenarios such as fine electronic components that require strict demolding effects, resulting in relatively high costs; Wax based universal release agents mainly use paraffin wax and polyethylene wax as raw materials, and are suitable for scenarios with low performance requirements for release agents such as construction and ordinary plastic processing due to their low cost advantages.

Compared to the multi adaptability of general release agents, the formula design of die-casting release agents focuses more on targeting and comprehensiveness. The core component ratio needs to simultaneously consider the three key properties of high temperature stability, lubricity, and metal compatibility, and fully match the high temperature working conditions requirements of die-casting processes. In terms of the selection of basic carriers, water-based emulsion systems are often used as die-casting release agents to avoid safety hazards caused by organic solvents from the source and improve the safety of the production process; The active ingredients are mainly high-temperature stable organic silicon resin and fluorocarbon compounds, combined with ceramic micro powder and extreme pressure anti-wear additives to further enhance the strength and wear resistance of the release agent film layer, and meet the high-strength processing requirements of die-casting technology; Buffer agents will also be added to the formula to accurately adjust the pH value of the system to 7.5-10.5. This not only effectively avoids corrosion of the mold steel caused by the release agent, prolongs the service life of the mold, but also enhances the wetting ability of the release agent on the surface of the high-temperature mold, ensuring the formation of a uniform film layer and guaranteeing the demolding effect. In addition, some high-end die-casting release agents also innovatively add plant-based ingredients, which greatly enhance the environmental friendliness of the product without affecting its core performance, in line with the green development concept of modern industry.

From the multi scenario and multi adaptation of universal release agents to the precise customization of high-temperature working conditions for die-casting release agents, the formula design of release agents always follows the principle of scenario requirements as the core, and every adjustment of ingredients and ratios is to better match the actual working conditions of industrial processing. With the continuous development of industrial manufacturing towards refinement, efficiency, and greenness, the performance requirements of release agents in various industries will continue to upgrade, which also drives the continuous exploration of ingredient optimization and formula innovation in the field of release agent research and development. In the future, release agents will continue to provide efficient and adaptable technical support for various industries' production and processing with more suitable formula design and superior comprehensive performance, becoming an important additive to promote the high-quality development of industrial manufacturing.
