AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY IN MOLD RELEASE AGENTS

Mold releases are typically packaged in aerosol, liquid, or solid (paste wax) forms.  Depending on the time and circumstances, one type can be more advantageous than another.  So, given the trade-offs, when and why would it be advantageous to use an aerosol mold release?

Consistency and Uniformity
The first advantage is that aerosols provide a consistent and uniform coating. An exact spray pattern and particle size can be delivered with repeatable results. From coat to coat, and case to case, molders can rely on the consistent performance of an aerosol. Aside from dropping it on the shop floor, which could break the nozzle, there is no way to alter the delivery system.

Airtight Protection
Aerosols are sealed. They are manufactured as a closed system, which prevents contamination and guarantees the purity of the mold release when it arrives at the plant. With bulk liquid systems, drums, or pails, molders run the risk of improper dilution or external contamination. Another potential problem with liquid mold release is the delivery system. Changes in the pressure or spray pattern can occur by improperly placing the spray gun down between applications, or the controls can be inadvertently altered. Aerosol mold releases take the “unknowns” out of the process by removing the chance of error.

Faster Mold Preparation                                                       
Another key advantage of aerosol mold release is the fast drying and fast evaporation of the carriers which are used in the system. Solvents are used in both liquid and aerosol mold release, however, with liquid, there is a long wait for solvents to evaporate. That’s because more liquid is applied, but with aerosols, the dry time is significantly reduced, thus improving manufacturing efficiencies.

No “Extras” NeededAuto-diluter in-use in a factory
By virtue of an aerosol’s closed and self-contained system, no additional tools are required.  For injection molding and other plastics applications, users can typically have multiple aerosol mold release cans on hand that meet their different processing requirements. There is no need for rags, brushes, sponges, or other applicators such as an auto-diluter for liquid mold releases. 

High Volume Usage
A common reason that molders choose liquid mold release is the high quantity of material they will use. Aerosols in general, are packaged in smaller configurations. Stoner Molding Solutions was one of the first mold release manufacturers to offer aerosol mold release in giant spray tanks, which hold the equivalent of 49 aerosol cans, or approximately 31 lbs. of mold release. This gives the molder the convenience and performance of an aerosol in a long-lasting bulk container.

Spray tanks can be used with robotic applicators or they can be used just like an aerosol can with Stoner’s custom-made sprayer assembly. The sprayer and hose assembly kit includes a sprayer, spray heads, and a PTFE-lined metal braided hose that is 10-ft long. That small add-on provides molders extended range and flexibility for application, while a magnetic mount enables the sprayer to adhere to the tank or molding machine.

In terms of cost, Stoner’s aerosol mold release products are cost-competitive with bulk liquid on a per release basis. There are circumstances in which liquid release is advantageous; however, the consistent quality and convenience of aerosols may not be as expensive as you might think.

Focus on Next-Generation Products
Stoner Molding Solutions continues to monitor industry trends, and apply its extensive technical resources to develop next-generation products with new non-flammable, low global warming potential. These aerosol formulations are often the first to comply with international regulations, such as the 134a propellant ban in Europe that became effective in January 2018.

Unlike many mold release brands, Stoner Molding Solutions formulates, manufactures, and distributes its own products. Stoner specializes in lean manufacturing, which translates into short runs of high-value, customer-specific products. This allows shorter lead times, and quicker inventory turns so that products are always in stock. As a manufacturer, Stoner provides strong batch consistency, reliable product quality, and world-class technical support and customer service to molders world wide.

Stoner Molding Solutions is a leading supplied in industrial mold release agents in the polyurethane, plastic, rubber and composites fields, based in Quarryville, Pa. For more information, call +86 13611954539 or visit www.bestfluoro.com

气溶胶技术在脱模剂中的应用

脱模剂通常以气溶胶，液体或固体（糊状蜡）形式包装。根据时间和环境，一种类型比另一种更有优势。因此，考虑到取舍的情况，何时以及为什么使用气雾剂脱模剂有利？

连贯性和一致性
第一个优点是气溶胶提供了一致且均匀的涂层。精确的喷雾模式和粒度可以提供可重复的结果。从一件衣服到另一件衣服，以及每箱一次，模塑商可以依靠气溶胶的一贯性能。除了将其放在车间，这可能会破坏喷嘴，无法改变交付系统。

气密保护
气雾剂是密封的。它们是作为一个封闭的系统制造的，它可以防止污染，并在到达工厂时保证脱模剂的纯度。对于散装液体系统，桶或桶，模塑商会面临不适当的稀释或外部污染的风险。液体模具释放的另一个潜在问题是输送系统。在不同的应用之间不恰当地放置喷枪可能会导致压力或喷雾模式的变化，或者控制器可能会无意中改变。通过消除错误的可能性，气雾剂脱模将“未知”排除在过程之外。

更快的模具制备
气雾剂脱模剂的另一个关键优势是系统中使用的载体的快速干燥和快速蒸发。溶剂用于液体和气溶胶脱模，然而，随着液体的蒸发，溶剂需要很长的等待时间。这是因为使用了更多的液体，但使用气溶胶时，干燥时间明显缩短，从而提高了生产效率。

无需“额外”汽车稀释器在工厂使用
凭借气溶胶的封闭自给式系统，无需额外的工具。对于注塑和其他塑料应用，用户通常可以拥有多个气溶胶脱模罐，以满足不同的加工要求。不需要碎布，刷子，海绵或其他涂抹器，例如用于液体模具释放的自动稀释器。

大量使用
模塑商选择液态脱模剂的一个常见原因是他们将使用大量的材料。一般气溶胶包装在较小的配置中。斯托纳成型解决方案公司是第一个在大型喷雾罐中提供喷雾脱模剂的脱模剂制造商之一，该公司拥有相当于49个气雾剂罐或约31磅的喷雾罐。的脱模。这赋予了模塑商在长效散装容器中的气溶胶的方便性和性能。

喷雾罐可以与机器人喷枪一起使用，也可以像Stoner定制喷雾器组件一样用于喷雾罐。喷雾器和软管组件套件包括喷雾器，喷头和10英尺长的PTFE衬里金属编织软管。这种小型附加装置为模塑商提供了扩大应用范围和灵活性的途径，而磁性支架则使喷涂机能够粘附在储罐或成型机上。

在成本方面，Stoner的气雾剂脱模剂产品在散装液体的基础上具有成本竞争力。有些情况下液体释放是有利的;然而，气雾剂的一贯质量和便利性可能并不像您想象的那样昂贵。

关注下一代产品
Stoner成型解决方案继续监控行业趋势，并应用其广泛的技术资源开发具有新的不易燃，低全球变暖潜力的下一代产品。这些气雾剂通常是第一个符合国际规定的，例如欧洲的134a推进剂禁令在2018年1月生效。

与许多脱模品牌不同，斯托纳成型方案制定，制造和分销自己的产品。 Stoner专门从事精益生产，这意味着生产短期的高价值客户特定产品。这可缩短交货时间，加快库存周转速度，从而使产品始终处于库存状态。作为制造商，Stoner为全球的模塑商提供强大的批次一致性，可靠的产品质量，世界一流的技术支持和客户服务。
