Need a Mold Release for Post-Molding Applications?

Brian Bullard

Slide’s factory expert Brian Bullard had previously helped a customer find solutions with Mold Cleaner 4, Super Grease and Mold Shield. The company is an industry leader in injection molding related to packaging and fulfillment. However, they were still using a competitor’s silicone mold release in their operation.

During a plant visit, Brian noticed that the storage bins being manufactured featured branded decals. He asked the operator if they were experiencing issues with the decals falling off, and it turns out that they indeed were. Because silicone mold releases often interfere with post-molding applications, Brian educated them on a “paintable” mold release product.

Slide Products’ 54912 Heavy Duty 10% Mold Release is a non-silicone, Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) based option engineered specifically for painting, decorating and other secondary processes. Higher concentration of the lubricating ingredient makes it the ideal choice for deep drawn, intricately detailed molds. After switching over to 54912 Heavy Duty 10% Mold Release, the problem of decals falling off their storage bins was eliminated.
