a) Vegetable oilb) Organic waxesc) Siliconesd) Lecithine) OtherMEET YOUR PRODUCTIVITY GOALS WITH SILICONES
Silicones
Low use levels
Efficient release with only 1%-5% actives level
Reduced release agent cost, better processcontrol, lower reject rates
Safe / non-reactive
Non reactive to finished products
Heat stable
Ideal for high-temperature applications.
Superior oxidation resistance, prevents buildup
Low volatility
No excessive film or smoke
Other benefits: less residue and dry hand feelNon-silicones
Higher use levels
More material needed, which can increase costand process variations
Odor
Some organic release agents affect odor due tohigher use levels
Inferior heat stability
Organics may degrade at high temperatures,
which may cause film stickingMore volatility
Some organic release agents volatilize at higher
temperature producing smoke
Others: oil trace9
