Our Chem-Trend® portfolio of products helps to provide comprehensive solutions to the polyurethane industry.
Release Agents for Polyurethane Resin
Our polyurethane resin release agents offer a competitive advantage to manufacturers of all sizes, whether large or small. We provide solutions in the form of water and solvent-based release agents, as well as carrier-free options. These solutions are crafted to enhance productivity while satisfying even the most rigorous specifications and operational environments. Our collaboration with manufacturers extends to various applications, including:
- Integral skin
- PU spray skin
- High-resiliency foam for seating, acoustical, and carpet
- Insulation back foaming
- Visco-elastic polyurethane products
- Rigid foams
- Dual-density and single-density shoe soles
- Isocyanate-bound products
- Cast elastomers
- Microcellular urethane applications such as jounce bumpers
Tackling Surface Disruption with Mold Release Agent for Polyurethane
The tiny parts on the outside layer of the foam get bigger or change shape in an uneven way. This happens especially where the foam is poured or inside the mold’s inside space. These parts are not fully solid yet, which makes them more sensitive to outside changes.
Both temperature and using a wet mold release can cause this type of unstableness. If we focus on these causes, it implies that the mold release might not be compatible with the foam system.
Chem-Trend provides a diverse selection of products designed to achieve a stable surface while also delivering the required release performance. Our experts are adept at recognizing these concerns, isolating their origin, and offering a solution that’s effective for your needs.
