Difference between release agents and sliding agents
Release agents and sliding agents perform different functions in industrial processes: understanding the specifics helps choose the right product for each need.
Designed to facilitate demoulding in moulding processes, creating a barrier between mould and processed material to prevent adhesion and ensure surface quality of the moulded part.
Aimed at reducing friction and adhesion between moving surfaces. Used in broader applications such as maintenance, assembly and material handling.
The choice depends on the application context: moulding processes require specific release agents; improving mechanical sliding calls for sliding agents.
