Product Details
High-performance mold release solutions for plastics, rubber, composites, and industrial manufacturing.
Silico® offers a comprehensive range of silicone-based release agents designed to provide superior mold release performance, extend mold life, and ensure clean, smooth surfaces. These products form a low-surface-energy barrier between the mold and the part, enabling easy release and minimizing surface defects.
Our product portfolio includes silicone oil–based release agents, silicone emulsions, silicone resin systems, heat-curable semi-permanent release coatings, and hybrid blends, suitable for both conventional and high-performance molding processes.

Key Features & Advantages
Excellent Release Performance — Ensures clean, easy, and repeatable demolding across various substrates (steel, aluminum, silicone, composite, etc.).
Low Surface Energy & High Lubricity — Silicone molecules form a uniform lubricating film that minimizes sticking and surface marks.
Thermal & Chemical Stability — Maintains performance under high-temperature and high-pressure molding conditions.
Chemical Inertness — Non-reactive with most plastics, rubbers, resins, and composites, ensuring no contamination or surface defects.
Multiple Release Cycles — Semi-permanent systems allow for repeated demolding without frequent reapplication.
Customizable Formulations — Available in different viscosities, active contents, and curing mechanisms to match diverse molding needs.
Cost-Effective & Clean Operation — Reduces downtime, cleaning frequency, and mold maintenance costs.
Typical Applications
Plastic Injection & Blow Molding – Smooth release for plastic parts, films, and profiles.
Rubber & Silicone Molding – Consistent release during curing or vulcanization processes.
Composite & FRP Production – Ideal for carbon fiber, fiberglass, and resin molding applications.
Die Casting & Metal Molding – Excellent release at elevated temperatures.
Food-Grade Mold Release – Compliant options for food packaging and mold surface protection.
Industrial Coating & Lamination Lines – Prevents sticking during heat treatment or curing.
Usage Guidelines
Recommended Dosage / Application Amount:
Typically 0.5–2.0 g/m², depending on mold material and part complexity.Application Methods:
Spraying / Aerosol: Ideal for large or complex molds.
Brushing / Rolling: Suitable for flat or regular-shaped molds.
Dip Coating / Wiping: Used where uniform film thickness is required.
Heat Curing (if applicable): Semi-permanent systems require curing at elevated temperatures for maximum durability.
Surface Preparation:
Ensure mold surfaces are clean, dry, and free of oil or residue.
Remove old release films prior to reapplication to maintain consistent performance.
Reapplication & Maintenance:
Frequency depends on mold type, product adhesion, and number of release cycles.
For semi-permanent systems, reapplication is needed only after film degradation.
Storage & Handling:
Store in a cool, dry place at 5–35 °C.
Keep away from strong oxidizers and direct sunlight.
Mix or shake gently before use to ensure uniform composition.
Packaging & Storage
25 kg drum
200 kg steel drum
1,000 kg IBC tote (custom bulk packaging available)
Safety & Handling
Silico® Silicone Oil is non-toxic and chemically inert. However, standard safety precautions should be followed:
Wear gloves and protective goggles during handling.
In case of eye contact, rinse with clean water immediately.
Dispose of waste in accordance with local environmental regulations.
