WACKER® TN is a medium-viscosity modified silicone fluid that combines the advantages of silicone fluids and mineral oils due to its unique chemical structure. It is specifically designed for formulating release agents used in the thermal molding process of rubber, plastics, and low-melting nonferrous metals. Compared to traditional silicone fluids, WACKER® TN offers superior performance when the molded parts require subsequent painting, printing, coating, or bonding. Even in small quantities, WACKER® TN achieves exceptional release effects, allowing for precise reproduction of surface details on the molded articles. Furthermore, the product demonstrates excellent film-forming properties, ensuring optimal coverage and protection.

Benefits

Release agents make three important functions in the die-casting process possible:

  • Formation of a lubricating film between the mold and the molt metal
  • Formation of a parting film between the mold and the casting
  • Cooling of the mold

Application Details

For easy application, WACKER® TN may be diluted with solvents such as white spirit. To ensure optimum flow, maximum number of moldings and economic use of the release agent, it is advisable to carry out preliminary tests to ascertain the optimum concentration, type of solvent, method of application and mold temperature. Generally, solutions with a silicone content of approximately 1 % are best to start with.
