Ease Release 500 is a TEFLON™-like dry film mold release (and dry lubricant) that contains no silicones, oils or wax. Ease Release 500 is non-migrating and non-staining. It is effective and improves efficiency in many molding processes including injection, compression, transfer, vacuum form and die cast molding.

Features:

  • Fast drying
  • Effective over a broad temperature range from 70°F to 400°F
  • Easy to apply
  • Non staining, non migrating
  • Inert with outstanding thermal and chemical stability

Ease Release 500 provides:

  • Excellent release
  • Matte surface finish on molded parts
  • Ease of post finishing molded parts

Application - Processing Using Metal Molds

  • Thoroughly clean your mold with Mold Cleaner 2508 or any suitable cleaner to remove all traces of previous coating and oils.
  • Apply Ease Release 500 using aerosol spray for bulk grades. Hold the can or spray gun 6 to 8 inches from the mold surface to ensure a light even coating. When the molds are new or have been blasted with an abrasive, “season” the mold by applying a heavy coating of release. Heat the mold to process temperature, then wipe the excess with a rag and reapply a light coating of Ease Release 500 before regular molding.
  • Ease Release 500 is fast drying and requires no baking during the normal molding process.
  • Reapply a light coating before each molding.

CAUTION: Heating this product to temperatures above 500°F will create fumes that can cause flu like systems. Use with adequate ventilation.


Finishing:

Thorough cleaning of molded parts with Isopropyl Alcohol may be required prior to staining, painting, or bonding. For suggested cleaning procedures, consult a technical representative.
