Mould Release Agent
At Redwop Chemicals, we offer high-quality Mould Release Agents designed to ensure smooth and easy demoulding of various materials. Whether you need an Oil Based Mould Release Agent or a Water Based Mould Release Agent, our products are formulated to provide excellent performance and durability, minimizing wear and tear on your molds while enhancing the quality of your finished products.
Redwop Mould Release Agent is a high-performance, low-VOC formulation available in water-based and silicone-free variants. Designed to prevent adhesion of concrete, polymers, metals, or rubber to mould surfaces, it ensures clean demoulding, minimizes defects, and helps optimize surface finish. Developed for both sacrificial (one-shot) and semi-permanent use, it caters to diverse casting environments.
Ideal Applications
Perfect for applications across industries: precast concrete panels, architectural tiles, polymer composites, plastic injection parts, rubber molding, and food-grade structural elements. It is suitable for metallic, composite, and silicone tooling in sectors like construction, automotive, aerospace, and food processing—offering clean demoulding even in intricate geometries.
Application Guide
Begin by cleaning and drying the mould surface. Apply Redwop Mould Release Agent undiluted via spray, brush, or wipe to ensure a thin, uniform film. For bulk casting (e.g., concrete or rubber), reapply after 10–20 demoulding cycles when semi-permanent options are used. Allow 2–5 min to flash off before casting. After demoulding, water-based variants can be washed with mild detergent; silicone-based require solvent-based cleaners. Store between 5–35 °C, and agitate before use.
Key Features & Benefits
Redwop’s release agent offers consistent mould separation, significantly reducing jammed returns and part defects. Its low-VOC, food-safe formulation makes it ideal for precast concrete, tiles, pipes, food-contact molds, and composite or rubber tooling. The easy-to-apply spray or brush-on solution dries quickly, reduces mould-cleaning frequency, and protects mould surfaces from corrosion, extending tool lifespan. Available in both single-use and multi-release formats, it improves worker ergonomics, lowers production downtime, and ensures high-quality surface finishes.
FAQ's
A Mould Release Agent is a substance used to prevent materials from sticking to molds, making the demoulding process easier and smoother.
Our Mould Release Agents are formulated to offer high performance, ensuring a perfect finish, extended mold life, and easy demoulding, both for oil-based and water-based applications.
Yes, you can choose either oil-based or water-based depending on your application and preference. Both types are designed to give optimal release performance.
Simply apply a thin, even layer of the release agent onto the mold surface before casting. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the best results.
Yes, all our products, including Mould Release Agents, are tested for safety and meet industry standards, ensuring they are safe for both the user and the environment.
A mould release agent is a chemical used to prevent concrete or other materials from sticking to moulds, formwork, or casting surfaces. It ensures smooth release and clean surface finishes.
Common types include water-based, solvent-based, and oil-based mould release agents. Each type suits different project needs based on surface, environmental conditions, and concrete composition.
Yes, mould release agents can be used on steel, wood, aluminum, and plastic formwork. However, it’s important to select the correct formulation for optimal performance.
It should be applied using a brush, roller, or spray in a thin and uniform coat. Over-application may lead to staining or defects on the concrete surface.
If not cleaned properly after demoulding, residue from the release agent can affect adhesion. It’s recommended to clean the surface before painting or coating.
Yes, especially when using high-quality, stain-free formulations that enhance surface appearance without leaving marks or discoloration.
Many agents are multi-purpose, but for precast applications, specific non-staining and fast-acting agents are recommended for quicker turnaround.
No, it does not interfere with curing. However, proper form removal timing and curing procedures should still be followed.
Coverage typically ranges from 40–60 m² per liter, depending on surface porosity and application method.
Shelf life is usually 12 months in unopened containers when stored in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight.
