Release agents

Silicones and wax emulsions from CHT are effectively used as release agents for manufacturing processes in many industries, from the food processing sector to industrial manufacturing and medical technology.

Silicones can be used to release thermoformed materials very effectively because, firstly, silicones have extreme temperature resistance and, secondly, they can form a long-lasting, tack-free barrier between the mold surface and the production part. Typical applications for CHT silicones as release agents are in the rubber and tire industry, in wood composites and wood-based materials, in polyurethanes, in plastic injection molding and in the die casting industry.

A wide range of different wax additives is available for the formulation of aqueous release agents in the application areas of metal die casting, PU foam, bitumen, and others. These types are optimized with regard to the specific release requirements in each case. Depending on the area of application, low-melting paraffin waxes through to high-melting HDPE or amide waxes are used.

For the production of aqueous forming lubricants for deep drawing and pressing of aluminum-magnesium alloys, stainless steel, aluminum as well as carbon containing steel, various wax emulsions based on medium to high melting waxes can be used.
