Is it necessarily better to use a mixture of release agent and release wax?

Release agent is a functional substance that lies between the mold and the finished product. Has chemical resistance and does not dissolve when in contact with the chemical components of different resins, especially styrene and amines. It also has heat resistance and stress resistance, and is not easy to decompose or wear; The release agent adheres to the mold without transferring to the processed parts, and does not hinder painting or other secondary processing operations.

Why are there still many customers using demolding wax now? Because the earliest exposure to the market was release wax, it was not until after 2000 that release agents gradually entered the Chinese market. Customers do not deny that release agents are good products, so in order to pursue the so-called double insurance, release wax and release agent are used together. Many users feel that the release water is ineffective, and the release wax is at the bottom, seeking a sense of security. In fact, this is a misconception. For example, it's like a wall that has been plastered. You first apply a layer of wax, and then spray paint. You think it's double insurance, but in reality, the effect of directly spraying paint will be better, so that the paint can firmly adhere to the wall. Nowadays, with multiple layers of wax, the first paint cannot firmly adhere to the wall, the second wax has low adhesion to the mold, and the third demolding wax is easily softened and transferred due to temperature, resulting in even worse results. Therefore, this is a very common misconception. The effect of adding demoulding wax and demoulding agent is the same as this example. The demoulding agent originally had strong adhesion to the mold, but now it is not attached to the mold, but to the soft wax. This will inevitably lead to a decrease in the number of demoulding cycles, a decrease in product brightness, and a higher risk of mold fouling.

Demoulding wax belongs to the technology of the 1990s and is a first generation product that has gradually been phased out. At present, release agents are mainly used on the market.
