POLYMERIC MOULD RELEASE AGENT

The polymerization runs were carried out in a flat aluminium mould. At a temperature of about 100 °C, the initiator was dissolved in one half of the caprolactam while the catalyst and the impact modifier were dissolved in the other half. The two solutions were mixed and the mixture was poured into the mould, which had a temperature of 130-160 °C. After about 10 minutes the finished plate was taken from the mould no mould release agent was used. 

Silicone polymeric materials are used in a variety of forms such as pure fluids, emulsions, solvent-based formulations, resins, elastomers and so on. They are formulated in numerous products for various applications involving different processes across many different industries. Some of these products where adhesion plays a major role are adhesives, coatings, encapsulants, hair conditioners. Pressure-sensitive adhesives, mould Release agents. Sealants, skin creams and so on. 

Surface segregation of emulsifier and stabilizer molecules used in some polymerization processes is a frequent occurrence. Common contaminants generally are lubricating oils and greases, mould release agents and various airborne materials, particularly in aerosol form (see Mould adhesion and fouling).
