The mould release agent serves two basic purposes:

·         Mould release serves as an interfacing substance between the two components; it separates the layers of resin from the surface of the mould in order to allow for the removal of any finished piece without causing harm to either the part or the mould itself.

·         When the mould release is applied properly, mould release helps create a durable, high gloss surface finish for furnished parts.

Mould release helps preserve integrity of part and avoid damage to part and mould. The quality release agent preparation needs extended time for the correction of it. Composite mould releasing agents are those that are applied to the surfaces of moulds so that they do not stick to or become glued on the castings or casting methods.

These moulds create a barrier between mould surfaces and composite material which allows easy release and separation once the part has cured or solidified.

Following are the aspects and characteristics of composite mould releases:

·         Release agent: Composite mould releases are known as release agents or mould release agents. As such, it is a liquid or semi liquid material that can be sprayed, brushed or wiped on the surface after which it is left to dry to harden into layers of wax.

·         Barrier formation: A thin, non-stick barrier is created between mould and composite material through the use of a mould release. The barrier prevents the adhesion of composite material to the mould surface, allowing for easy demoulding and reduces the risk of damage and mould distortion.

·         Type of mould releases: There are multiple types of composite mould releases available, including wax based releases, silicon-based releases, polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE] releases and water-based releases. Every category possesses distinctive features, suggested uses, and benefits.

·         Application method: Composite mould releases can be used by various methods, depending upon specific product and size and complexity of the mould. The common techniques for application are spraying, brushing, wiping, or dipping into the release agent solution.

·         Mould Compatibility: The concept of composite mould release durability involves its capability to offer effective releasing properties across many moulding cycles. Some mould releases offer several discharges per application while others may require reapplication after every run.

·        Release durability: In the case of composite mould release, there exists a parameter that determines its endurance with respect to provision of good release characteristics throughout various times of shaping. There are some types that allow several releases per application, while others need a re-application after every cycle.

·        Post mould treatment: After demoulding the surface is cleaned to remove any residual release mould agent. This phase is important to set up the mould for later fillings and make certain the motion of the pieces is top notch.

·        Safety considerations: While working with composite mould releases, it is important to follow instructions for safe handling, application and storage. The mould releases may contain volatile or hazardous components, thus safety precautions like personal protective equipment should be taken. 

The right selection of mould release should be made to achieve better quality and to maintain the longer life of the mould release.  For an easy and successful moulding process, it is very important to know what to do with the specific mould release agent used together with the composite material.
