Classification & Application of Water-Based Release Agents in China
The Green Shift in Manufacturing：
Driven by the imperative for "Green Manufacturing" and the "Dual Carbon" (Peak Carbon & Carbon Neutrality) goals, China’s manufacturing sector is rapidly transitioning from solvent-based oil release agents to Water-Based Release Agents.
The stringent policy limitations on Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) have made "VOC elimination" an industry consensus. Concurrently, the increasing advantages of water-based systems in terms of safety, comprehensive performance, and total lifecycle cost are accelerating their shift from a "preferable option" to a "mainstream solution" across multiple industries.
Compared to oil-based systems, water-based release agents utilize water as the carrier, significantly reducing VOC emissions and odor, thus improving the working environment. Their non-flammable nature effectively lowers the risk of fire and explosion, minimizing occupational health hazards.
In terms of formulation, water-based systems can form a uniform, dense lubricating barrier film on the mold surface, achieving low demolding force and high surface quality. They also support high dilution ratios and convenient cleaning/maintenance, which helps reduce material consumption and overall operational costs, balancing production efficiency with sustainability goals.
YunZhu New Material has specialized in water-based release agents for years. In the subsequent sections, we will delve into the classification system and major application scenarios of water-based release agents in China. Let's redefine the application of water-based release agents for "Made in China."
