Performance comparison between traditional release products and Ababol's semi-permanent and solvent-free release agents line.
Comparison of Release Agents: Efficiency and Sustainability in the Polyurethane and Composites Industry.
In the polyurethane and composites sector, efficiency and sustainability in manufacturing processes are key aspects. Choosing the right release agent not only affects the quality of the final product, but also production costs and environmental impact. In this article, we analyze the difference in performance between traditional release products and our line of semi-permanent solvent-free release agents.
Comparison of Release Agents: Performance and Costs.
The following table presents the comparative values of different types of release agents, taking into account their performance, number of parts obtained per application, transfer of waste to the part and costs.
* We have not taken into account the subsequent cleaning of the parts to remove any traces of release agent, nor the cleaning of the moulds due to wax build-up, etc. If this were the case, the price difference would be greater.
** The data in the table above are calculated based on an average of products that we have tested in customer factories.
Benefits of Solvent-Free Semi-Permanent Release Agents.
- Greater performance: A single litre of our products covers up to 65 m2, compared to 10-20 m2 for traditional products.
- Lower cost per square metre: Up to 10 times lower cost per demoulded part compared to waxes and other release sprays.
- Better part quality: Drastic reduction in the transfer of waste, eliminating the need for additional cleaning and improving the adhesion of finishes.
- Safer work environment: Solvent- and odour-free products, minimising risks for operators and improving safety in the plant.
If we also consider the costs associated with cleaning parts and moulds due to the build-up of wax and silicone residues, the difference in total investment in mould products during production becomes even more significant.
Conclusion.
Choosing an efficient and environmentally friendly release agent not only improves product quality, but also reduces operating costs and improves the working environment. Ababol Products’ solvent-free semi-permanent release agents represent an innovative solution for the sector, offering a sustainable alternative while increasing performance.
