In many different sectors, release agents are used during the manufacturing process. Silicones are the preferred release agents in a variety of manufacturing processes, including food processing, industrial production, medical equipment, and home culinary goods.
They are used to release moulded items, such as steel in die-casting or plastic injection moulding or rubber in tyre manufacturing or polyurethane in architectural moulds.
Due to their ability to produce an anti-friction coating, as well as their lubricant and non-stick qualities, silicones are particularly effective in these operations.
Silicones are used in the food processing sector to create wine stoppers, moulds for bakery ware, and food-packaging containers with non-stick surfaces, slide resistance, and organoleptic neutrality.
Due to their resistance to high oven temperatures and superior performance, silicones are also frequently employed as release agents for bakery paper also known as “baking parchment” or “greaseproof papers.
They can be created in “reactive systems” to lessen undesirable silicone transfer and migration. Additionally, their chemical inertness offers defence against rusting or deformation. Silicones help to reduce maintenance costs and enhance manufacturing methods wherever they are employed.
The Global industrial release agents silicone market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Elkem Silicones has created a number of product lines that offer the proper release properties in a range of procedures for very different sectors.
These consist of: For numerous applications, such as label production, graphic arts, electronics tapes, and other procedures needing precision release, Silcolease release coatings guarantee coated papers and films have the non-stick performance required.
Bluesil, a release system utilised in design, building, electric and electrical engineering, and other industrial activities.
Silbione, used in medical devices, implants, cork and wine stopper processing, and release systems for baking and cooking utensils.
The tyre production process uses Lynda at, which makes perfectly symmetrical tyres easier to demold and has a good slide.
