Mold Cleaners
Mold Cleaners
Chemlease® and Zyvax® Mold Cleaners are formulated to effectively eliminate contaminants such as wax, buffing compounds, oils, and greases from composite molds. These cleaners play a crucial role in preparing mold surfaces for the application of mold sealers and release agents. Additionally, they are suitable for cleaning molded parts before secondary operations like bonding and painting.
Zyvax® mold cleaners, tailored for the aerospace industry, are designed to maintain molds and tooling in optimal condition, enabling composites molding facilities to enhance operational efficiency and produce high-quality parts while safeguarding key assets.
Thorough cleaning is emphasized in the mold preparation process to ensure proper bonding of the semi-permanent release system. At Chem-Trend, we prioritize cleaning alongside the release process to achieve consistent and exceptional results, reducing waste and providing predictability in outcomes
