Mold Release Agents FD-68 & W-8630

Two complementary release systems: an internal agent that works inside the compound and a water-based external spray for the mold surface.

Internal · Added to the compound

FD-68 Internal Release Agent

  • No sticking to mill rollers during mixing
  • Easy demolding without mold damage — cleaner parts, longer tool life
  • No blooming after water-boil testing
  • Improves transparency and ageing resistance of the cured part
  • Food-grade oriented formulation — suited to EU / US export products
0.3–0.5%dosage 20 kgpail 12 monthsshelf life
⚠ Do not mix with other internal release agents FD-68 should not be combined with other internal release agents — mixing is a known cause of whitening and blooming in the cured part.
External · Sprayed on the mold

W-8630 External Release Agent

  • Water-based — dilute 20:1 with pure water, spray on the mold surface
  • No oil film, no whitening, no cracking on molded parts
  • Does not affect subsequent printing, spraying or coating steps
  • Transparent / pale-yellow liquid, density approx. 1.02 g/ml
20:1dilution in pure water 5 / 20 kgpails 18 monthsshelf life
Usage notes Clean the mold thoroughly before first use. Dilute only with pure water — impurities affect surface quality. Uniform spray gives the best result; for difficult or sticking molds the concentration may be increased.

How to Use FD-68

  1. Add with the raw gum

    Add FD-68 together with the raw gum at the start of mixing — best effect in the internal mixer.

  2. Then add color

    Pigments and masterbatch after the release agent is dispersed.

  3. Vulcanizing agent last

    Standard addition order for all silicone compounding.

How to Use W-8630

  1. Clean the mold

    Thoroughly clean the mold surface before the first application.

  2. Dilute 20:1

    Dilute with pure water only. Shake or stir to uniformity.

  3. Spray evenly

    Apply a uniform spray across the mold surface. Re-apply as needed during the run.
