Also known as paintable mold-release lubricants, these lubricants don’t leave a residue, so you can paint or finish the molded part without the need to clean it. Apply them to molds before casting so you can easily remove cast parts and prevent sticking, stretching, and tearing.

Lubricants with PTFE create a long-lasting film that withstands high temperatures. Lubricants with silicone have a small amount of silicone for lubricity, but still allow you to paint molded parts without cleaning first. Use these lubricants to release large, intricate, or difficult-to-release parts. Lubricants with zinc resist dust and can be used with ceramics. Lubricants with carnauba wax are also known as honey wax. Apply with the included sponge applicator.

Apply these lubricants to molds before casting so you can easily remove cast parts and prevent sticking, stretching, and tearing. They leave a residue, so they shouldn’t be used on parts that need to be painted.

Lubricants with silicone can be used with rubber and plastic. Lubricants without silicone can be used with rubber.

Sprayon MR 315 Urethane & Styrene Silicone Release Agent can be used with sensitive plastic, such as styrene and urethane.

Use these lubricants for molding and casting parts that don't need to be painted in food-processing and preparation areas, or when molding parts that will be used around food. Apply them to molds before casting so you can easily remove cast parts and prevent sticking, stretching, and tearing.

All DuPont Molykote lubricants can also be used as a multipurpose lubricant to keep food-processing equipment from sticking. Use Molykote 316 Silicone Release Spray with metal. Use Molykote 7 Release Compound with plastic and rubber. It resists drying and oxidation.

Lubricants that are FDA 21 Compliant CFR 175.300 and/or meet NSF ANSI 51 can have direct contact with food. Lubricants that meet NSF/ANSI 61 are certified for use with components that come into contact with drinking water.
