Engineering plastics release agent is a functional substance used in molding operations, mainly used to improve the interface properties between engineering plastics and molds, so that the plastic products can be smoothly detached during the demolding process, and at the same time to maintain the surface quality and aesthetic appearance of the plastic products.
The main role of engineering plastic mold release agent includes:
Reduce friction: the release agent can reduce the coefficient of friction between engineering plastics and molds, so that the plastic products in the process of demolding resistance is reduced, so that it is easier to get out of the mold.
Prevent adhesion: the release agent forms a film on the surface of the mold, which can prevent adhesion between engineering plastics and the mold, avoiding damage or deformation of plastic products in the demolding process.
Improve production efficiency: the use of mold release agent can reduce the time and labor of mold release, improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.
Protect the mold: mold release agent can also play a role in protecting the mold and prolonging the service life of the mold.
Engineering Plastics: Innovative Materials Shaping the Future
1.What are engineering plastics?
Engineering plastics are a class of high-performance plastics with unique physical, chemical and mechanical properties. They are manufactured through advanced synthesis and processing technologies to meet the needs of a wide range of engineering applications. Engineering plastics combine the lightness and ease of processing of plastics with the strength and durability of metals, and are therefore widely used in many fields.
2.the main types of engineering plastics
Polyamide (nylon, PA): excellent mechanical strength, abrasion resistance and chemical resistance.
Polyester (polyethylene terephthalate, PET): high transparency, high toughness, good heat resistance and insulation.
Polycarbonate (PC): high impact strength, heat resistance, good light transmission and electrical insulation.
Polyacetal (POM): excellent abrasion resistance, self-lubrication, fatigue resistance and chemical resistance.
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS): high temperature stability, good electrical insulation, low water absorption and low dielectric constant.
