MoldWiz® INT-1E-11S banner

MoldWiz® INT-1E-11S

Functions:Release Agent, Processing Aid
Chemical Family:Chemical Mixtures & Blends
Labeling Claims:Wax-free, Silicone-free, Other Labeling Claims

MoldWiz® INT-1E-11S - A process aid additive with surfactant properties which is added directly to the aqueous solution. The addition of this process aid additive gives the resin improved wetting properties of the paper or substrate being impregnated, reducing or eliminating voids and dry spots. The process aid additive will not interfere with adhesion properties between paper laminates. It will function as an excellent release agent causing the laminate to release easily and cleanly from the caul plate without leaving any residue. This product contains no silicone, no wax and no metallic stearates.

MoldWiz® INT-33UDS banner

MoldWiz® INT-33UDS

Functions:Processing Aid
Chemical Family:Chemical Mixtures & Blends
Compatible Polymers & Resins:Polysulfone (PSU), Polycarbonates (PC), Polystyrenes (PS), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)

MoldWiz® INT-33UDS - A process aid additive with anti-static properties which is incorporated directly into the resin. Eliminates the need for an external mold release agent. Improves resin flow, improves dispersion of other resin additives (reinforcements, fillers, and pigments), shortens cycle times, reduces temperatures and pressures of molding machines, and reduces or eliminates weld/knit lines. An effective addition of process aid additive will not have any adverse effect on physical properties or secondary operations such as decorating, printing, bonding, or plating.

XTEND® 818+ banner

Functions:Mold Release Agent, Release Agent

XTEND® 818+ is good for high production parts with gel coat.It is used or polyester or vinyl ester Good gloss and no pre-release

MoldWiz® AZN-SP spray banner

MoldWiz® AZN-SP spray

Functions:Release Agent, Mold Release Agent
Chemical Family:Chemical Mixtures & Blends
Compatible Polymers & Resins:Natural Rubbers (NR)

MoldWiz® INT-35UDH banner

MoldWiz® INT-35UDH

Functions:Processing Aid
Chemical Family:Chemical Mixtures & Blends
Compatible Polymers & Resins:Polycarbonates (PC), Polystyrenes (PS)

MoldWiz® INT-35UDH - A process aid additive with anti-static properties which is incorporated directly into the resin. Eliminates the need for an external mold release agent. Improves resin flow, improves dispersion of other resin additives (reinforcements, fillers, and pigments), shortens cycle times, reduces temperatures and pressures of molding machines, and reduces or eliminates weld/knit lines.

CleanWiz® CX-500 Cleaner banner

CleanWiz® CX-500 Cleaner

CleanWiz® CX-500 Cleaner - A solvent system for cleaning molds. Quick flashing, general purpose cleaner to prep molds before application of semi-permanent sealer or release system. May also be used to remove residue from resins, overspray, or excess semi-permanent.

MoldWiz® IMRI banner

Functions:Processing Aid
Chemical Family:Chemical Mixtures & Blends
Compatible Polymers & Resins:Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), Natural Rubbers (NR), Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)

MoldWiz® IMRI - A non-silicone process aid additive for use in all types of rubber processing which eliminates the need for any external release agent minimizing mold and machine cleaning time. Facilitates processing by increasing the flow characteristics and lubricating qualities of the rubber formulation without affecting its mechanical properties. The cured product can be readily glued, bonded, coated, etc. and there is no exudation or deterioration after prolonged storage. There is an increase in elongation percentage and tensile strength with many formulations.

MoldWiz® PU-13RX banner

MoldWiz® PU-13RX

Functions:Release Agent, Mold Release Agent
Chemical Family:Chemical Mixtures & Blends
Compatible Polymers & Resins:Polyurethanes (PU)
Processing Methods:Injection Molding

MoldWiz® PU-13RX - A Liquid mold release agent that is ideally suited for molding polyurethane foam, polymer concrete and other composites molding applications. May be used with FRP or metal molds and is ideal for porous tooling, effectively sealing the surface and contributing to smoother parts. Easier and less time consuming to use and less likely to build up than conventional paste wax release.

MoldWiz® INT-1890M banner

MoldWiz® INT-1890M

Functions:Release Agent, Mold Release Agent, Processing Aid
Chemical Family:Chemical Mixtures & Blends
Compatible Polymers & Resins:Epoxies (EP)
Processing Methods:Extrusion, Injection Molding

MoldWiz® INT-1890M - A process aid additive and mold release with anti-static properties which is incorporated directly into the resin eliminating the need for an external mold release agent. FRP molds require a surface coating to seal the porosity and maintain the gloss. An effective addition of process aid additive will not have any adverse effect on the cured resin. The complex polymeric nature of the process aid additive will not interfere with secondary operations such as decorating, silk screen printing, painting, bonding or plating
