Mold Release Agents & Lubricants

Cleaner demolding, fewer rejects, and less downtime for mold cleaning — from compression and injection molding to hose and extrusion lines.

ABOUT LUBRICANTS

Every molded rubber part has to leave the mold intact. When release fails, you see torn parts, sticking, buildup on the tool, and lost press time. ARP Materials supplies mold release agents and process lubricants for rubber manufacturers, backed by technical staff with hands-on compounding and R&D experience.

Uncured rubber flows into every detail of a mold and bonds tightly to metal as it vulcanizes. A mold release agent forms a thin barrier between the compound and the tool surface, so the cured part separates cleanly without tearing or distortion.

The right release system also:

  • Reduces mold fouling and the frequency of costly cleaning cycles
  • Improves surface finish and part appearance
  • Shortens cycle times by speeding up demolding
  • Lowers scrap from torn, stuck, or deformed parts
  • Helps compound flow into complex cavities during filling
USES/APPLICATIONS
  • Molded seals, gaskets, and O-rings
  • Automotive hoses, belts, and anti-vibration components
  • Industrial and hydraulic hose built on rigid or flexible mandrels
  • Rubber-to-metal bonded parts
  • Extruded profiles and weatherstripping
  • Tires, including medical and wheelchair tires
