The Frekote
Line of Products is the Broadest Mold Release Line Frekote mold release agents, backed
by over 40 years of research and development, are the global industry standard for performance,
quality, and value. By pioneering release solutions for many of the worlds largest manufacturing
organizations, Henkel understands what it takes to release the most complex materials in the most
demanding applications. Henkel has developed Frekote mold release agents for virtually all types
of composite and rubber molding operations. The Frekote line offers the broadest product range
in the industry. From jumbo jets to tennis racquets, truck tires to o- rings, from custom yachts to
bathtubs, we have the release agent you need for most composite and rubber materials.
Lowest Cost per Release Frekote semi-permanent release agents minimize fouling and ensure
the highest number of releases possible per application. Our customers realize higher productivity
and profitability through reduced downtimes, lower reject rates, and higher quality products.
Frekote products are the industry standard replace ment for sacrificial release agents. Unlike
sacrificial waxes or silicones, Frekote semi-permanent mold release agents do not transfer to your
parts; instead they chemically bond to the mold surface, allowing the parts to release cleanly with
no mold release transfer.
Frekote products are designed to save you money. As an example, the following table represents
how polyester molders minimize their molding cost with Frekote semi-permanent mold
release technology:
