MOLD RELEASE

Mold release is most simply PAM for plastic molding.  Mold release is applied to the plastic injection mold so the part will easily fall out of the die without sticking.  If plastic parts stick to the mold and must be removed, the productivity of the machine is negatively impacted.  There are some basic questions that must be answered to select the proper Mold release;

1. What type of plastic is being used?
2. Is the part going to be painted?
3. Is the part going to be used in a food application?
4. Is the part going to be used in a medical application?
5. Does the part and molding process require frequent use of a release?

MOLD CLEANERS

Mold cleaners are used to clean the mold to prevent resin/grease build up on the mold.  Contamination on the mold can be transerred to the surface of the part causing quality issues and rework.  Mold cleaners are also used prior to storing the dies and prior to application of mold rust protection.  They are also used prior to putting a mold back into production to remove rust preventative.  Key questions to ask to choose the right mold cleaner

1. Plastic being cleaned
2. In process cleaning or bench cleaning
3. Temperature of the mold
