A mold releaser ( Waxpol) is a substance that you apply to the surface of a mold before you pour in any material, like plastic, resin, or metal. This coating creates a smooth layer between the mold and the material you're molding. Its main job is to make sure that the molded part doesn't stick to the mold. This way, when the molded item hardens and you're ready to take it out, it comes out easily without getting damaged or leaving pieces stuck in the mold.
Here's a bit more detail on how it works:
Application: You spread or spray the mold releaser inside the cavity of the mold before you start molding.
Barrier Creation: The mold releaser forms a thin film over the surface, acting as a barrier between the mold and the material.
Prevents Sticking: This barrier helps prevent the molded part from adhering to the mold, which makes removal easy and prevents damage.
Eases Removal: Once the material inside the mold has solidified, you can open the mold, and the part will come out smoothly without sticking.
Using a mold releaser is important because it saves time and effort in the manufacturing process, and it helps keep the molds in good condition for longer use.
