In the polyurethane molding industry, we offer solvent-base, water-base, paste wax, and mold cleaning products for MDI, TDI, and TDI/MDI for all rigid, flexible, and cast urethane molding industries. VIEW APPLICATIONS W. N. SHAW has successfully engineered environmentally friendly water-base products for the most challenging applications where lower mold temperatures demand a high level of effectiveness from a release agent. We have custom-formulated our latest water-base products to provide excellent release ease and the desired part finishes that can be easily and safely washed from finished parts. Our water-base releases are designed to minimize buildup on the molds, thus extending the time between tool cleaning. Benefits of PU Injection Molding PU injection molding saves countless companies time and money in several ways throughout their production process. The advantages include: Desired gloss level: Mold release can be customized to provide a vast range of surface finishes so that you can meet your customers’ exact specifications. Faster operations: When you spend less time separating products from their molds and don’t have to clean the molds as much between applications, you lose fewer company hours. In addition, valuable employees can spend their time working on other manufacturing goals and company advancement instead of constantly working on mold cleaning and maintenance. Less waste: The right mold release agent will give your products a cleaner separation, which will result in fewer damaged raw materials over the course of your operations. Nobody wants to see their polyurethane products constantly damaged and thrown away, which is why PU injection molding is a popular solution to common manufacturing challenges. Longer mold life: Adding to the increased profit you’ll already see from other benefits, PU injection molding actually helps your molds last longer without required replacements. They aren’t constantly undergoing cleaning, and the separation process is not as rough on them since undesired bonding does not occur. Cleaner final products: Your end product will have less residue and separate cleanly when you use PU injection molding, which oftentimes helps with both appearance and functionality. Customer-facing products will receive better word-of-mouth, boosting the good reputation surrounding your company no matter what specific industry you’re in. W.N.
