Release agents, sometimes referred to as release coatings or mold release agents, are used to prevent a material from bonding to a surface which can prevent damage during the molding process. They are generally categorized as sacrificial and semi-permanent, with sacrificial release agents maintaining short-term release characteristics, and semi-permanent release agents allowing for multiple releases per application. Ellsworth Adhesives supplies both release agent types from manufacturers like Henkel Loctite, Miller-Stephenson, Camie Campbell, and DuPont, with both aerosol and non-aerosol options.
