Water Soluble Silicone Oil For Mold Release Agents

1. Polyurethane (PU) Foam & Integral Skin Demolding

In high-resilience (HR) polyurethane automotive seat foam, integral skin steering wheels, shoe soles (microcellular PU elastomers), and rigid insulation panels, water-soluble silicone fluids act as sophisticated internal and external release additives. Because PU processing involves highly reactive isocyanate (MDI/TDI) monomers that tenaciously bond to metal and composite molds, conventional unreactive silicones cause surface defects such as pinholes, orange peel, and cell collapse. Polyether-functional silicones self-orient at the tool-polyurethane interface, creating a uniform monomolecular lubricating boundary while preserving pristine skin finish and open-cell core uniformity.

2. Precision Rubber & Technical Elastomer Molding

Elastomer processing—involving fluoroelastomers (FKM), EPDM, nitrile (NBR), and natural rubber seals, gaskets, and O-rings—requires vulcanization at temperatures between 150°C and 200°C. Under high vulcanization pressure, ordinary release oils decompose, foul mold cavities, and disrupt sulfur or peroxide cure kinetics. Water-soluble silicone fluid solutions provide high thermal tolerance, low surface tension (approx. 21–25 mN/m), and effortless wetting into micro-machined cavity features, preventing flash sticking and reducing defect rates in high-speed automated transfer and injection molding operations.

3. High-Pressure Aluminum & Magnesium Die-Casting

Modern die-casting facilities for structural automotive components demand non-flammable water-based die release agents. Water-soluble and emulsifiable silicone oils serve as critical barrier lubricants. When sprayed onto hot dies (200°C–350°C), the water phase vaporizes cleanly (Leidenfrost effect management), leaving an ultra-thin siloxane film that prevents solder formation, aluminum sticking, and thermal fatigue cracking without producing toxic smoke or toxic effluent in wastewater treatment plants.

4. Composite Prepregs, Epoxy Resins, & Rotational Plastics

Carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) parts, wind turbine blades, and glass-fiber unsaturated polyester structures rely on water-dilutable release coatings for smooth release without silicone transfer. Transfer contamination is a fatal defect in composite aerospace manufacturing because it inhibits paint adhesion and structural bonding. Water-soluble polyether silicones prevent silicone migration into the cured matrix and wash away completely with an ambient water rinse.

Based on strategic factories in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Hebei and Henan provinces etc, we export not only good quality products, competitive EXW costs, but also honesty, safety and international philosophies to customers. We work tightly with competitive production sites across whole China, who have special advantages, located in professional industrial areas, close to raw material bases, locally supplied with energy - gas or steam pipe connected with neighbour enterprises in same areas to reduce transportation costs.

Our factories have advanced ideas in technique crafts for higher yield production, unit consumption reducing from raw materials, also re-used the by-products for own downstream production for other products. By the way, we always keep close observation about raw material changing trend, react actively with factories shoulder by shoulder from organizing raw material at good times to secure more competitive production costs and share spaces with customers helping win their market shares. At the same time, we have wide connection with Chinese powerful chemical institute organizations for testing and supervising quality control in production process.
