Rexco’s water based mold release coatings help slake thirst for sustainable chemistry

REXCO, the leading North American manufacturer of PVA film forming solutions for composites is introducing the third in a series of new water based mold releases. Partall® POWER Glossy Liquid Mold Release, introduced at JEC Composites Show 2009 Paris, offers manufacturers of composites the sustainable chemistry and ease of use they are seeking in a cosmetic semi-permanent mold release.
Robert Renshaw, Managing Director of Rexco states, “We at Rexco started our sustainable chemistry over a decade ago by introducing the first and leading commercially available low-VOC parting and masking film Partall® Coverall Film. With the Coverall introduction we learned about sustainability, the sustainability of our faith in the product and the concept of sustainable chemistry. While most people accept the fundamental goal of contributing to a sustainable quality of life they are also slow to make changes. We now enjoy hundreds of enthusiastic Partall® Coverall Film users world wide and in many unique applications. Since then Rexco continued the initiative with friendlier traditional wax based mold releases through the development of special higher flash point solvents.

Now we can offer a water based cosmetic top coat that preliminary tests show has better substrate wet out and ease of polishing than previously available on the market while offering fast ambient temperature cure and good durability. I am a Partall® POWER Glossy enthusiast.”

Partall® POWER Glossy Liquid Mold Release is the latest in a number of advanced new mold release preparations introduced by Rexco under the brand names Partall®, Formula Five® and Marbalease® which include internal mold release, specialty PVAs, mold sealers and cleaners, including a polymeric release that can be applied to hot molds.
