Developed by LORD Corporation, the United States, LORD LokRelease solutions are suitable for rubber-to-metal part manufacturing facilities, which offer semi-permanent, anti-stick surface coating for easy part removal from molded Elastomers. Presented in aerosol, aqueous and solvent-based solutions, a single application allows for multiple molding cycles, eliminating post-finishing problems. Containing no Class I or Class II ozone-depleting substances (ODS); release agents also reduce rust and corrosion in steel molds.

LORD LokRelease™ Mold Release solutions are formulated to increase time between mold-picking and to reduce mold fouling in the rubber-to-substrate molding processes. “Now commercially available, our mold releases have been used in LORD rubber-to-metal part manufacturing facilities for several years. Building on more than 90 years of ­experience, LORD LokRelease solutions provides a semi-permanent, anti-stick surface coating for fast, easy part removal from molds,” said Chris Schneider, at LORD Corporation.

Applications for LORD LokRelease Mold Release include industrial rubber-to-substrate molding, automotive rubber-to-substrate molding and other molding processes such as injection, compression and transfer molding. Contact: LORD Corporation, 111 Lord Drive, Cary, NC 27511, USA, E-mail: kimberly_richardson@LORD.com.
