Introduction

Various types of rubber hoses are used in automobiles. During the production of curved hoses, mold release agents are employed to prevent the adhesion of the rubber and mandrels. For hydrophobic rubber surfaces, these mold release agents utilize such technologically advanced component materials as nonionic surfactants to ensure excellent ease of placement, releasability and cleanability.

Mandrel Release Agent Performance Requirements

Key Factors Affecting Ease of Placement and Mold Releasability

In terms of ease of placement and mold releasability, the viscosity/temperature of the mandrel release agent plays a crucial role. The ideal viscosity allowing for both easy placement on and release from the mold varies with hose shape and size, as well as temperature during the vulcanization process. We offer various grades tailored to load, speed of placement on and release from the mold, and temperature during the vulcanization process.
