Unlock the Secrets of Mold Cleaning Agent and Help Perfect Mold Maintenance

In many industrial production processes, molds play a vital role. From the molding of plastic products to the casting of metal parts, the quality of molds directly affects the precision, surface quality and production efficiency of products. As a key product for mold maintenance, mold cleaning agents are of great importance.

Working principle of mold cleaning agent

Mold cleaning agent mainly removes dirt from the mold surface through chemical dissolution, emulsification, dispersion and other effects. Different types of mold cleaning agents use specific formulas for different dirt components. For example, for organic dirt, such as mold release agent residue and oil stains, cleaning agents containing organic solvents or surfactants can dissolve or emulsify these dirt and remove them from the mold surface; for inorganic dirt, such as metal oxides and dust, acidic or alkaline cleaning agents can dissolve or convert them into soluble substances through chemical reactions, and then remove them by flushing. At the same time, some mold cleaning agents also add special additives, such as corrosion inhibitors, to protect the mold surface from corrosion while cleaning.

Common types and applicable scenarios

Solvent-based mold cleaning agent

This type of cleaning agent uses organic solvents as the main component, has strong dissolving ability, and can quickly and effectively remove organic dirt on the mold surface, such as wax, grease, resin, etc. Solvent-based mold cleaning agents evaporate quickly, and the mold surface dries quickly after cleaning, which is suitable for production scenarios with high requirements for drying time. However, due to the volatility and flammability of organic solvents, attention should be paid to ventilation and fire safety when using them. It is often used to clean

molds with a lot of organic dirt, such as plastic injection molds and rubber molds.

Semi-aqueous c

Semi-aqueous mold cleaning agent combines the characteristics of solvent-based and water-based cleaning agents. It contains organic solvent components to enhance the solubility of organic dirt, and contains water and surfactants to facilitate rinsing with water after cleaning. While maintaining a good cleaning effect, it reduces the use of organic solvents and reduces the impact on the environment. Semi-aqueous mold cleaning agent is suitable for mold cleaning that has high requirements for cleaning effect and environmental protection performance, such as automotive parts molds, electronic molds, etc.

Water-based mold cleaning agent

Water-based mold cleaning agent uses water as a carrier and adds surfactants, additives and other ingredients. Its advantages are environmental protection and safety, without the risk of volatilization and flammability of organic solvents, and is friendly to operators and the environment. Water-based cleaning agents remove dirt through emulsification and dispersion, have a good cleaning effect on various types of dirt, and are easy to rinse after cleaning without leaving any residue. However, in some cases, its cleaning ability may be relatively weak, and for stubborn dirt, it needs to be combined with appropriate cleaning processes. Water-based mold cleaning agents are widely used in various types of molds, especially in industries with high environmental protection requirements, such as food packaging molds, medical device molds, etc.
