Desmoldante de silicone: herói invisível no fabrico industrial

In modern industrial manufacturing, whether it is the molding of plastics, rubber or composite materials, it cannot do without a special chemical agent – release agent. Silicone release agents, with their excellent performance, have become the star products in this field. Today, we will delve into the application of silicone agents and their important role in industrial manufacturing.

Working principle of silicone release agent

Silicone agents mainly reduce the adhesion between molds and molded products by forming a thin isolation film between them. The presence of this film enables the product to smoothly detach from the mold while protecting the mold surface from damage. This isolation effect not only simplifies the demolding process, but also greatly improves production efficiency and product quality.

Classification of Silicone Release Agents

Silicone release agents can be classified based on their morphology and service life. According to the form, it includes silicone oil and its solution, silicone rubber and its solution, silicone resin and its solution, silicone lotion, silicone aerosol, etc. According to the service life, it can be divided into temporary and semi permanent release agents. The former will gradually consume during use, while the latter can be used for a long time without frequent replacement.

Application fields of silicone release agent

Silicone  agents are widely used in the molding and processing of materials such as plastics, rubber, and composite materials. Silicone release agents play an indispensable role in the injection molding of plastic products such as phone cases and automotive components, the vulcanization process of rubber products such as tires, and the manufacturing of composite materials such as spacecraft components.

Advantages of Silicone Release Agent

1. * * Excellent demolding performance * *: Silicone demolding agent can form a uniform isolation film on the surface of the mold, making product demolding smoother and reducing friction and damage during demolding.
2. High temperature resistance: Due to the polymer skeleton of silicone release agents being composed of silicon oxygen bonds, they have excellent heat resistance and can work stably at high temperatures without decomposition.
3. Environmental friendliness: Compared with traditional release agents, silicone agents are more environmentally friendly, free of harmful substances, and more environmentally and human friendly.
4. * * Long service life * *: Especially for non migratory silicone release agents, due to their stable and non migratory components, they exhibit an extremely long service life, reducing the frequency of release agent replacement and lowering production costs.

Market Trends of Silicone Release Agents

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the growing demand for high-performance materials in the manufacturing industry, the market for silicone agents is steadily growing. According to market analysis reports, the scale of China’s mold release agent market is continuously expanding, and it is expected to reach 7 billion yuan by 2025. Environmentally friendly silicone release agents have gradually become mainstream in the market, promoting the healthy development of the entire industry.

Silicone release agent has become an indispensable auxiliary material in industrial manufacturing due to its excellent performance and wide application. It not only improves production efficiency and ensures product quality, but also meets the requirements of modern manufacturing for environmental protection and sustainable development. With the continuous advancement of technology and the expansion of application fields, silicone agents will inevitably usher in a broader market prospect.
