Forsch Polymer BC 575

BC 575 is a single component package, elastomer coating designed to be applied directly to mold surfaces as an in-mold coating (IMC) for part enhancement and mold protection in single or multiple coat applications. BC 575 is also recommended for in-mold applications that require rapid release and mold protection from high temperature exotherms. Because of its excellent color stability, BC 575 is ideal for concealing the extremely rapid yellowing characteristics of low-cost polymer systems used in the production of molded goods.
