Application Details

WACKER® E155 provides multiple releases when molding polyurethane or epoxy plastic parts. It may be used as supplied or diluted with a hydrocarbon solvent. The number of releases per application will depend upon the type of plastic and the design of the mold. Usually a small experimental test should be performed prior to any production scale-up.

WACKER® E155 applied to metal cables provides excellent lubricity between the cable and a plastic sheath. It may be applied by dipping, brushing or wiping. The longevity of the cable is greatly enhanced by WACKER® E155.

WACKER® E155 is difficult to remove from parts. Solvent cleaning, sand-blasting and caustic scouring are techniques used to remove WACKER® E155. Where parts must be painted, the end user should assess whether WACKER® E155 will cause a paintability problem.
