Release agent mixer types mainly include oil-based, water-based and powder-based release agent three types.

Each type of release agent mixer for die casting machine has its specific application and advantage. Selecting the right release agent mixer is crucial to ensure the die casting quality and the mold service life. Below are detailed introduction:

1. Release agent mixer types: Oil-based mold release agent

This mold release agent mainly composes of mineral oil or synthetic oil, silicone oil and lubricating additives.

• For example, a typical oil-based mold release agent formula includes 70 to 98 parts by mass of solvent (with a predetermined flash point), 1 to 10 parts by mass of high-viscosity mineral oil or synthetic oil. And 15 parts by mass or less of silicone oil.

• Oil-based mold release agents widely uses due to their good lubrication properties, but they may produce smoke, environmental pollution and health risks during their use, so they are gradually being eliminated.

2. Release agent mixer types: Water-based mold release agent

This type of release agent uses water as a carrier and usually contains silicone, wax, surfactant and other ingredients.

• For example, a water-based release agent composes of 10 to 30% dimethyl silicone, 5 to 15% modified silicone oil, 5 to 20% wax composition, 4 to 15% surfactant, 1 to 3% rust and corrosion inhibitor and 0.1 to 1% fungicide.

• Water-based release agents are valued for their environmental protection and biodegradability.

3. Powdered release agent

This type of release agent mainly composes of micronized wax, graphite, alumina and other ingredients.

• It has good chemical stability and will not pollute water after use, reducing environmental pollution problems.

• Powder-based release agents are also used in high-pressure die casting. Their main advantage is that they are not easy to react and can remain stable even under heating conditions.

These oil-based, water-based and powder-based release agent different types of release agent mixers have their own characteristics. And they are suitable for different die casting processes and application requirements. Choosing the right release agent is crucial to ensuring casting quality, extending mold life, and improving production efficiency.
